Flipping my 216570 polar for a Pan 392...

Thinking of making this flip. The Pan 312 is to big for me even though I have a large wrist. I currently have a 16610 and a 116710 BLNR. Would you do the flip? Thanks.

Rolex sports watches beat Panerai any day of the week. I wouldn't do it.

No, never.

I would not trade any Rolex for any Panerai.

I would not do that, but whatever you think is the best.
But that also is because I'm not a fan of Panerai at all.

I'm a fan of Panerai, and I wouldn't make the trade...mostly because the 392 is a 42 mm, which to be honest, you'd get tired of quickly and wish you had a 44 mm. The 312 probably feels big because it's a 1950's case. You should try on something with the bettarini case instead, maybe a 111 or a 390. If you still think those are large, get a 45mm radiomir--they wear smaller than the 44mm models.

Or just keep your 216570, because it's just not worth trading for a 392.

I love the style of PAM. But no, I would not make that flip.

Love my EXPII and would not do such a trade. In the end though, it's entirely your choice. If you haven't already, compare them side by side in person and see which sings loudest.

Wrong section. You may want to ask in the PAM sub-forum.

I wouldn't flip a Casio G-Shock for a Panerai. The 216570 is a great watch. Don't do anything crazy.
