PAM112 for a 'J' PAM243...

...what do you guys think, I get a nice deal so moneywise it is good?

I love the rugged look of the PAM243 but I have to let my PAM112 go for it unfortunatly,

I am thinking of a complete change in the collection to amuse me and this is the first step, it will be used with other watches in rotation but willl be my only PAM ;-)

Opinions of the PAM243 please, is it a good daily wearer?

243 is a great reference. Will wear bigger than the 112 but you have your SubC if you want to switch.
I think it's a good move that I would do if given the opportunity.
Let us know how it goes..

comes down to personal taste and if the 243 fits you, i suppose. is this a straight trade? i would have thought you would have to add in quite a bit.

btw, i like your rational! "I am thinking of a complete change in the collection to amuse me"

good luck!

I need to add 2k USD so by no means a strait trade, but quite fair :-)

I like a T dial 243 considerably more than a 112, personally.

I personally prefer the 112 to 243 for daily wear.

I would do it...

243 is awesome...as you said "rugged" and I think it just a great casual wear Panerai.

The brushed case looks great with a number of strap options too IMO and I feel the brushed finish "hides" minor daily wear.


When you get it done post some pics!

I'd do it in your shoes. Have a J 243 and wear it a lot...
