hi guys. I badly need your opinion...I recently bought a pam 233, I will finally see it next thurs. After a few gtgs and talking to friends, someone suggested i take a look at a pam 28. Have to admit,its tempting looking at pam 28 pics, but the problem is i decided on a 1 watch per brand strategy. In my small collection, i have a rolex daytona, ap dual time, pp 5711.Should i sell my pam 233 and buy a pam 28 dlc?is it worth it?Thanks!!!

Hard to say. I much prefer the 233 - lovely hand-wound; the first PAM to receive an in-house movement; sits better/lower than the auto ones etc. Personally not a fan of the 28.

Don't sell the one you chose so soon. Make sure you no longer want it before lettting it go. Just because someone else recommended you get something different doesn't mean you have to go in that direction.

Just because you initially said you wanted only one from each brand at one time, doesn't mean you have to stick with that plan either.

If you are asking us, you probably aren't sure what you want to do. In these cases it is best to take your time before you make your next move untilyou are sure what you want to do.

texex91 · 12 August 2011, 11:22 PM

Wait for 233 to come in and see what you think. I personally think it's a great choice.

TimeOnHand · 13 August 2011, 12:16 AM

I love the 233. It's my favorite PAM. But I am biased.

+1 I am with the wise men above...

the 233 is a great and iconic piece from PAM. Its the ultimate modern inhouse luminor with the handwound, GMT and the nice 1950 case...

the 28 never really moved me with that hobnail dial...you like it becuase of the DLC?

IMHO..the 233 is a waay better watch...

enjoy the new piece first and then make up your mind...28 can always be found...

MDUB · 13 August 2011, 04:02 AM

Don't do it. 233 is a special model. You'll see.

emcw · 13 August 2011, 12:12 PM

Thanks guys!!!Will wait for the pam 233 and think it over =)

mfer · 13 August 2011, 12:41 PM

Panerai has much to offer. How about one of each case style? ;-)

B. Doggy · 14 August 2011, 02:26 AM

I like the 233 between those two.

Shade · 16 August 2011, 03:56 AM

233 hands down, to me, there is nothing special on the 28.. And clearly its priced too high..
