Which would you get?

In particular I'm interested in opinions on the PAM00526!

1. PAM00526 - flyback chrono with countdown, automatic

2. Patrimony - manual wind

3. 1921 - manual wind

codecow · 19 October 2013, 10:48 PM

Whoops, wrong sub-forum... needs to be in Watches (Non-Rolex); sorry!

SearChart · 20 October 2013, 12:24 AM

VC 1921 for me

tavv160 · 20 October 2013, 01:35 AM

Patrimony for me. I'm not a Panerai guy, so not a good source for that brand.

subtona · 20 October 2013, 02:19 AM

patrimony

andrey_ · 20 October 2013, 03:37 AM

Patrimony, it's so classy...

nikanarani · 20 October 2013, 03:47 AM

That VC is stunning!

BNA/LION · 20 October 2013, 04:09 AM

VC Patrimony Traditionnelle Platinum

Presa canary · 20 October 2013, 04:18 AM

I'd choose the patrimony over most watches, except the 1921. That watch is truly amazing. Not sure how the panerai is even in the running against these two. Post pics of either vc, hopefully when you get it.

1921 that is.

Mick8moses · 20 October 2013, 04:31 AM

Patrimony please.

Psmith · 20 October 2013, 05:22 AM

Another vote for the Patrimony here

The PAM is way too busy for me (although interesting), and the 1921 too quirky/old-fashioned for my taste

Their marketing department is really good, got back from my second Panerai event in the last few months. I tried this one on and I liked the blue and orange with the rubber strap. It's a nice watch, one that I can picture wearing on vacation. I'm currently wearing a Panerai hat as I type this, lol.

The complication is quite cool as well, flyback chrono with a countdown timer is pretty sweet especially with a 3 day reserve.

When I get my next piece I will surely do an in-came-ing thread with the appropriate pics.

AK797 · 20 October 2013, 07:16 AM

Patrimony, simple and elegant.

malarky_hk · 20 October 2013, 10:50 AM

VC Patrimony! The PAM just seems quite out of place compared to the VCs.

incontrol · 20 October 2013, 10:59 AM

Patrimony! No contest here.

jvo300 · 20 October 2013, 11:47 AM

I vote Patrimony. It's a classic look that will be just as nice in 50 years. The others are novelty designs that are a bit more quirky. Something about the playful colors on the 526 makes me think of those ill fated Ferrari watches that Panerai made.

Demonoid · 27 October 2013, 02:11 PM

1921. Beautiful watch. Different from everything you see out there.

SixPak · 27 October 2013, 09:32 PM

The PAM doesn't do it for me. The 1921 sure is different and stunning. But the VC Patrimony gets my vote for it's sheer timeless beauty, elegance, and pure class.

FeelingTheBlues · 27 October 2013, 10:12 PM

I'll have to vote for the 1921 as well, it's such a classic beauty.

dysondiver · 27 October 2013, 10:18 PM

vc , so simple , mind you , an auto would be nicer.
but so simple and stylish a totally under the radar watch.

wstcstcmtr · 28 October 2013, 12:40 AM

I'm not a sailor... but is a 5 minute count down enough? Shouldn't it be more like 10 minutes like the yacht master II?

Cru Jones · 28 October 2013, 11:23 PM

1921 for sure. patrimony is beautiful, no doubt, but, you can get that look and feel with other makers. the 1921 is unique and so awesome.

as for the 526, it has a good complication executed much better than the YMII, but, i don't think you can reasonably cross-shop it with the 1921 and patrimony.

good luck with the choice!

benlee · 29 October 2013, 12:00 AM

Patrimony.

I like #3. Unique

codecow · 28 December 2013, 07:16 AM

Tried on the 1921 yesterday it is great. Large case and very heavy for a dressy watch, only think not to like is the price.

beshannon · 28 December 2013, 11:10 AM

Of those three, the Patrimony, no contest, no question

cali kid · 28 December 2013, 11:37 AM

Picked the Panny, the two VC are a little too dressy from me. Now if it was a silver dial VC Overseas Chronograph on that sweet bracelet it would have been my choice.. Heck I even love the three hand Overseas...

beaglehusky · 28 December 2013, 12:07 PM

1921 slight edge over the Patrimony
