590 vs. 634

Hey guys I'm on the fence for a preowned 590 vs 634. I definitely like the aesthetics of the 634 better - but i feel the 590 on paper is a superior watch with its inhouse movement and 8day PR.

Plus the 634 is $500 more expensive than the inhouse 590 on the secondary market if you can believe that.

Would appreciate some guidance from Ristis out there. Cheers

the 634 is a limited edition model made for the 15 year anniversary of Paneristi dot com.

if you like the 590, buy it. I have a 634 and think it's a great piece.

590 all day. A SnapBack case and Spring bars is not a real Panerai.

Just my opinion anyway.

Between the two I'd pick the 590. The 8 days is awesome. But ultimately I'd say go with your gut. It won't matter if one is technically superior if you prefer the other. Good luck.

Like what a lot of people said, I would go with 590. The springbars and snap back is a deal breaker, everything else doesn't matter (for me)
