EXP II, not a fan of Panerai.

I'd go with the PAM judging from your collection. If you like the Explorer, I prefer the white dial. Good luck.

Wow that is a tough choice and sounds like one that I would have to make when the time comes to get a new piece.

Currently, I'm leaning towards the 351

I think PAM is a great watch, but for me I would call it a 'second' watch as I would take a Rolex over a PAM if I only had 1....noting that I've just purchased a PAM 292 (Radiomir Black Seal in ceramic)...that being said, I had a SD and SS Daytona before I got the PAM!

I would go for the Expy II with black dial....lots of good sellers on the forum can help you!!

Rolex all day. I still want a PAM someday, but always lean toward Rolex in those price ranges. All PAMs do kinda look the same... Cool big/thick watches, but out of those two ROLEX.

I absolutely loved my PAM 177 and the only way I would own a PAM is in the brushed titanium as I find the polished stainless to be too shiny. Based on your collection I would choose the PAM 351. It is probably my favorite of the new offerings. Also, with the Exp II you would have three GMT's.... not that that is a bad thing maybe you just like GMT.

After seeing some Transporter movies and the movie The Expendables I'd stick with the Panerai.

Rolex. Not because it's better as you're asking. But that's just what I would personally prefer. I do not like many Panerai watches, at all.
