233, 321, or 499?
I've been attracted to Panerai for some time now. Something about them that I can't explain. I keep looking at them. I've been doing some window shopping and the 233,321, and 499 sing to me. Any suggestions for my first Panerai piece?

3 very different choices.... First step is trying them on. 321 and 499 should wear the same.

I'm on the hunt for my first Pam. The 233 is a fantastic choice but be sure NOT to check out the 533.
Good luck

I don't know what the 499 is, but I've owned the 233 before. No doubt one of my favorite PAMs.
Actually just looked up the 499...233 100%. |

Tried on the 233 at the Boutique in Vegas. It's a little too tall for my taste. The regular Luminor line had better dimensions for me. Really liked the 090, but I guess it's an ETA movement and solid case back.. Need to do some more reading up on this.

I was in a similar situation as yours recently...go for the 233. Hands down the best looking PAM in my opinion

Exactly in the order you listed...
233 (dot indicator if possible), 321, and last 499 |
