Pam 531
Any opinions? I like the GMT function but I wonder if the dial is too busy?

Well it's certainly a nice-looking watch but yeah, imho, a bit too busy for a PAM. Many will claim the same of my 233, but I like to see only the base numbers (3-6-9-12) max on any Panerai. Since you seem keen on a GMT, have you considered a 320 (/321)? The 233 is one of my favorite* PAM GMTs but it's a bit pricier than the 320 (or 531).
*the 276 being my favorite, but that's in a whole other class...

Thanks for your input. I am also interested in the 320.
I briefly considered the 233, but was turned off by the hand-wound movement. Maybe that's more of a positive than I've considered. The dome seems to really set it off. |

it's sort of a smash up of the 88 and 320 with faux patina.
personally, i would rather have the 88 or the 320. |

I like the 531. I think it looks cool. The other GMTs are cool too. Pick the one that you would be happiest to see on your wrist as opposed to what we think. Tastes vary.
I think you must like it a tad busier otherwise it wouldn't be on your mind. I like both, simple dials as well as GMTs and Chronos on Pams.
