Opinions needed
Hi all,
I'm currently browsing between a lot of PAMs. After many months I have narrowed down to two watches; the 372 and the 560. I really like both watches because they, in my opinion, look like quintessential Panerais. But which one should I get? Is it worth spending that extra money on the 372? Hope some of are able to provide some input :-) |

I guess much could depend on the size of your wrist because the 372 is a 47mm whereas the 560 is 'only' 44mm.
If money is not an issue, I would go 372 all day every day. I love that reference and it's about as pure Panerai as they come. However, it's your money, your watch and your wrist so it has to be what sings to you. Try both on and see which one screams "buy me, buy meeeeeee!" the loudest. Good luck and welcome

If you are wearing a planet ocean gmt, I bet you can handle the 372 well. If I had the wrist I'd get that one for the aesthetics.

I know the 372 is the popular choice.
However, over the years I've decided I like the squared, chunky edges and lines of the Bettarini case a little bit more than the curvy, swoopy 1950's case. Additionally I don't like ecru lume. So 560 would be my choice. Cheers and welcome. |

Both are great choices. 560 checks a lot of boxes for me, but all else being equal, I'd go for the one without the "8 DAYS" on the dial.
