Well Heru, out of that list it is VERY close between two, but I chose the 190.

The 249 is my Fav, but from a practicality standpoint, 47mm is a "little" big for me. It is weird how those 2 little mm make a difference, but they do on my wrist. I'd like to add one to my collection some day, but for now, I want more daily wearers.

So 190.

I reality, I'll probable get a 210 first though!


Right now, what I have on my radar for purchase (in about a year, it'll probable change, but)....
210, 232, 190, White Daytona, BP Fifty (I really want to see this one in the metal), 249

those are in most likely order of my buying.
..... notice the increasing price!

I was offered a 270, i do like it, but not as much as a 233, it's a bit more cluttered.

i have to honestly admit i have not seen the 270 in real live, the 233 i tried on a few times, but you might have a point, my main reason is as its an automatic what i slightly prev over handwound calibre (dont ask why)

but cheers for the note, then ill try to see it prior to buying , however this is extremely unlikely and when in the EU for these short periods , you hardly see them around also..

but now i got offered an 141 as well.. but TRYING to keep the funds for a 233/270 for once....

TR, I think it's 233 for me right now. Although... I do like the 88 a lot. My wife probably would let the 88 slip by...

The 233 is a chunk of change. I would probably have to put Platinum YM up for sale or Milgauss GV... to pull of 233. So difficult to part with these little treasures...

Sell them both and let the dark side devour you

I went with the 111. I'm really liking the watch more and more each day.

That said the 233 really seems to have a strong following and is on my short list as the third PAM for the trilogy.

Is this a godfather trilogy or a star wars trilogy, because if it's the latter then you've another four watches to get

I've owned the following PAMs at one point during the past 6 years: 88, 98, 86, 177, 190, 127, 113, 250, 196, 233, 183, 270, 000, 164, 232, 249, 24, 252, 243, 90, 210 and a 161.

I've traded and and sold most of the above and now have four left: 190, 270, 233 and 000. I love the manual wind and cleaner dial of the 233. But, also love the automatic and robustness of the 270. I go back and forth with the 233 and 270.

In my opinion, the 190 is the quitiessential radiomir. Phenomenal movement and great size.

The Logo brings back simplicity of Panerai and I love the base logo dial. I have posted the Logo for sale, but then have had second thoughts of selling it.

I'm finally content with my collection.

But my favorite, in order, would be the 270, 190, 233 (top three being real close), and the 000.

I picked the 233 as well... I swear everyday I become interested with every model.... I'm really starting to like the 249... Any opinions on pricing a 249?

233- I almost pulled the trigger 2 weeks ago but, decided I will wait & see how things shake out this year...
249
183
177

I already have the 88, would like to add two more..... 183 & 177 or save my pennies for 233 & 249.... what to do?

i prob get shot for saying this, i do like the Cali as well, it has actually grown on me , but for me slightly to big with its 47mm.. on pricing i think the SE's are way overpriced at the moment , but that is my humble opinion .. its question and demand and the Pam's following gets bigger and bigger, hence the pricing will only get higher for the SE's ... look at 6/7 years ago you could pick up an pre- for round 6k in euro's ... where are those day's...


laterrrrrr
