Panerai : BATTLE OF THE GIANTS

[L-16610]

these are probably 10 of the most sought after post Vendome Panerai watches.


Which one would you love to have

190 - nice Rad, not limited - 8 days JLC movement
232 - iconic 47 mm Rad, limited piece
249 - iconic 17 mm rad california dial, limited piece
339 - 47mm rad - Marina Militare - inhouse 8 days movement, limited piece
127 - 47 mm 1950 aka Fiddy, limited piece
217 - almost like a 127 but left handed,, limited piece
341 - Egiziano, nice but too big, limited piece
360 - great looks special made for die-hard Paneristi, very limited piece
292 - first ceramic rad not limited
272 - new at SIHH 2011, just gorgeous, probably not limited

Just one from that list huh? Impossible!

Personally, I love the 47mm ones, but I just can't pull them off.

I would probable vote 232, but I got the 210. So, if I had big wrists, it would be the 232 hands down. I love that watch.

But, one I would love to just wear every day...360 is close, but it has deep meanings for Paneristi's. I'm a member of that forum, but not a super member. My fingers are double crossed for a SS version of the 360 to be made. Love that watch.

190? I keep coming back to this one! So, why not.

But it isn't fair as I have yet to try on the 372.

For "now", 190!

For me it wouldn't be any of the 47mm models are they are just too big for me. Out of the rest it would be the 190

[nauticajoe]

For me, it would be the 372, 360, 127, & 339.

I would love to have 249, 232 then 127 in that order.

[Brunotheboxer]

This one.

So since this isn't on your list I'll take the 249 because I already have a Luminor, I'd go Rad.

I am not an expert on Panerai watches, so I went more upon which piece that I liked the best and in this case it is the 127.

[TswaneNguni]

I am fortuanate to have the 249 and 292J

Great list !!!

341 ..... saw it in the metal ....AMAZING !!
127 ..... always special
339 ..... big Rads are beautiful
372 .... new star on the block.

Winner : The Egyptian

you have the big egiziano listed as a 349?? but i assume you meant 341**
i already own a 341, so my vote next down the line would have to go for the 372 but if i didnt own a 341 then it would have my vote over all the rest.

oops, a typo indeed
In the text I spoke about a 341 but the picture says 349 , must be 341 ofcourse

[L-16610]

It is really strange that the 190 gets fo votes and the 232 gets no votes !

I would expect 4 for the 232 and zero for the 190

[Trurolexer]

Dunno...For now I'm in love with 372.
