Thinking of making this flip. The Pan 312 is to big for me even though I have a large wrist. I currently have a 16610 and a 116710 BLNR. Would you do the flip? Thanks.

mannyv11 · 23 January 2014, 02:02 AM

I wouldn't. I like pams but I love my exp 2 =)

good luck, either way get the watch that sings to you the most and that you will enjoy =)

Rolex sports watches beat Panerai any day of the week. I wouldn't do it.

beshannon · 23 January 2014, 02:07 AM

No, never.

I would not trade any Rolex for any Panerai.

MisterStefan · 23 January 2014, 02:08 AM

I would not do that, but whatever you think is the best.
But that also is because I'm not a fan of Panerai at all.

echau · 23 January 2014, 02:53 AM

I'm a fan of Panerai, and I wouldn't make the trade...mostly because the 392 is a 42 mm, which to be honest, you'd get tired of quickly and wish you had a 44 mm. The 312 probably feels big because it's a 1950's case. You should try on something with the bettarini case instead, maybe a 111 or a 390. If you still think those are large, get a 45mm radiomir--they wear smaller than the 44mm models.

Or just keep your 216570, because it's just not worth trading for a 392.

Cc1966 · 23 January 2014, 03:01 AM

I would keep the polar Exp II if it was me.

superdog · 23 January 2014, 03:03 AM

I love the style of PAM. But no, I would not make that flip.

Annan · 23 January 2014, 03:15 AM

Love my EXPII and would not do such a trade. In the end though, it's entirely your choice. If you haven't already, compare them side by side in person and see which sings loudest.

FTX I · 23 January 2014, 03:41 AM

I would not do it.

kilyung · 23 January 2014, 04:08 AM

Not for the 392.

joe100 · 23 January 2014, 04:10 AM

Negative!

ccarguy · 23 January 2014, 05:59 AM

Been there done that.......still kicking myself in the ass for doing it

Should have kept the Explorer II, so NO I would'nt do that deal. Panerai is loosing value everyday it seems like! If you go to switch back it will cost you for sure!

watchwatcher · 23 January 2014, 07:35 AM

Agree with the others, no I wouldn't.

nauticajoe · 23 January 2014, 08:34 AM

Wrong section.

You may want to ask in the PAM sub-forum.

petenyc · 23 January 2014, 08:42 AM

no way

woodsworth · 23 January 2014, 09:41 AM

392, no way. 372? Maybe.

And even then, that is a big maybe

Nidal · 23 January 2014, 10:37 AM

This is Rolex forum. So no.
Go to Pam forum if you want the yes. :)

slomo · 23 January 2014, 10:40 AM

not for the 392....for the 351 maybe....

Probably not even there.

mailman · 23 January 2014, 10:54 AM

I wouldn't but it's whatever makes you happy.

adamlea · 23 January 2014, 11:43 AM

I wouldn't do it - but I'm not a Pam fan.

bde · 23 January 2014, 11:47 AM

No way.

KINGROLESAR · 23 January 2014, 11:48 AM

Since you asked our answer is NO.

affalterbach · 23 January 2014, 11:51 AM

I wouldn't flip a Casio G-Shock for a Panerai. The 216570 is a great watch. Don't do anything crazy.

alubin · 23 January 2014, 11:55 AM

I wouldn't.

Laszlo · 23 January 2014, 01:49 PM

Never!

jvo300 · 23 January 2014, 01:54 PM

No way.

viper9669 · 23 January 2014, 01:57 PM

No

swils8610 · 23 January 2014, 02:08 PM

Thanks for all the great input!! Will keep the 216570!
