I will not flip a Daytona for a 233...but I will not flip a 233 for a Daytona. What I'm saying is having the two is like having the best from 2 different worlds. I cant decide which one to have first but I know you can't go wrong either way...It all boils down to personal taste. Manigong bagong taon kabayan.

Tough decision. If you could keep the Daytona, maybe a 312 would fit the bill? It's a fabulous watch and it's a 50/50 among 'risti's witch one looks best. Also about half the cost!

Best of luck! I had the same problem, then ended with a 312 and a 243. The Daytona is next on the list. Probably not until next year though...

312 is really such a beautiful PAM!

Icon14 both have there place and they are so diffent owning both is an option.

I have both and enyoy wearing them at different times. It took me longer to make a decision to buy the Daytona than the Panerai. The PAM's came first.

buy both, cheers benio

Obviously a pam312 and the Daytona would be best of both worlds. But I would gladly flip a Daytona (SS too) for a PAM233. The Daytona is nice but its way too overrated IMO.

Who in their right mind would flip an SS Daytona for a Pam, far less three SS Daytonas.
