I know the results might be a bit skewed here but I am trying to decide between the two of these

So what do you guys think?

MCHI09 · 25 February 2013, 05:21 AM

I have handled the 5004 a few times and own the 372. Can't go wrong either way. it simply comes down to which one sings to you more. The PAM sings louder to me, is meaningfully less expensive, and you can use the extra $$ to build a strap collection...

ChallengerSRT8 · 25 February 2013, 06:18 AM

372, no question.

+1 372 is about as good as it gets. If only they made a 44mm version.

dukerules · 25 February 2013, 08:02 AM

372 for me. Easily.

nick c · 25 February 2013, 08:28 AM

372

alexlt730512 · 25 February 2013, 09:53 AM

372 for sure

psv · 25 February 2013, 10:14 AM

How and when are you going to wear it? What else do you have in the collection.

If you work in an office environment and plan to wear it every day, I'd say the 5004 is a better choice. As a fun weekend watch - 372.

if this were 5001, i would have a harder time choosing (especially white dial with blue hands), but, between the BP and 372, definitely the 372.

372

toulouse · 26 February 2013, 05:36 AM

A year ago I would've said 372. Today I say BP (but I'd need to try it on first)

B. Doggy · 26 February 2013, 06:46 AM

BP gets my vote.

sphereman · 26 February 2013, 07:30 AM

372 no question.

but if it were between the older BP 5002 and 372? Older BP 5002 no question ;)

iLLGT2 · 27 February 2013, 11:17 AM

372 no doubt

Mlpugh · 27 February 2013, 11:22 AM

372!

Travelller · 27 February 2013, 11:49 AM

I would say 372 as "at first sight", the BP's strap and crown are an acquired taste (naturally, the same can & will be said about the 372 and all PAMS in general).

For someone not as familiar with the BP, please define "old"...

Thx

5002 is on the left, while the newer 5004 is on the right

372

Although I prefer the 422

braningan · 28 February 2013, 08:17 PM

Bp

geekyjeff · 28 February 2013, 10:21 PM

My first thought is the 372 just because of my heavy bias toward Panerai right now. But the BP is a classic, so you certainly can't go wrong with it. BP would also be a nice option if you already have Panerai in your collection.

Andrés G · 28 February 2013, 10:52 PM

372 for sure.

drchuck72 · 28 February 2013, 11:22 PM

I'm not a big fan of IWC so I'm biased.

372 all the way.

htc8p · 9 March 2013, 05:11 PM

toss up for me. they are both huge. 372 just has more soul i guess

deej · 11 March 2013, 01:34 PM

Anyone here with a 6.5in wrist sporting the 372?

guyrolex · 11 March 2013, 03:38 PM

372 without second thought
