Brian, my last visit to Italy was with my DSSD, great, rugged and tough, great with t shirts. But any of yours will be outstanding.

Thanks my friend ... truly cant decide.

I was thinking of the Dblue as that's the watch I wore the day we married.

Go with the Pam, it's the only one that speaks the language.

SearChart · 8 September 2017, 06:32 AM

D-Blue because it's the coolest of the three in my opinion.

I was kind of thinking this one as being the frontrunner Mon, and good point

Plus, f I can convince my wife to visit the Panerai boutique when we go up to Firenze, I might be able to pick up a strap

Let your watch do the talking.

You'll be surprised how far you'd get with just those 2 words.

I was little afraid for a second when I read my 50th honeymoon.

The blue Pan is the way to go.

mailman · 8 September 2017, 07:24 AM

690. It's different and flies under the radar compared to the other two.

Wesley Crusher · 8 September 2017, 07:35 AM

Go with the Pam! Maybe put it on a NATO or rubber strap if you plan on swimming with it.

nick c · 8 September 2017, 07:43 AM

Hey brother, I wish you and your wife a wonderful vacation,

and your Pam 690 will feel right at home

Funny you mention the strap ... I was worried about swimming and you're right a rubber strap is a quick fix

Thank you my friend

Hope to see the boutique in Florence when we fly out

1st amg · 8 September 2017, 08:48 AM

I just want to add, if it matters, I have travelled numerous times to Italy with one of many panerai I used to have, not once did the Italian populous have a second look at one of their own, on the other hand, the Rolex is the watch that rules their hearts

superdog · 8 September 2017, 09:08 AM

I'd say that PAM as it looks incredible on you.

But if you swim, that leather isn't so good. I'd go with the touch of red. Perfect for doing anything.

Happy bday and happy honeymoon.

Enjoy.

HL65 · 8 September 2017, 09:54 AM

PAM for the win!

Old Expat Beast · 8 September 2017, 10:02 AM

Panerai for sure, and maybe pick up another strap as a souvenir while you're there. Have a great trip!

Danny83 · 8 September 2017, 10:03 AM

The DSSD it just looks great

ejvette · 8 September 2017, 10:23 AM

I'm a fan of the PAM that's a great looking versatile piece for everything except swimming. Have a great trip Brian that's a beautiful area!

Thanks Nicolas, I'm kind of an under the radar traveller so it sounds lik the PAM is the ticket

Can't wait to see this area of Italy.

Thanks Seth, we are really looking forward to this trip. Not much of a swimmer ( I can't actually swim, but I've been known to wade in the shallow end)

Thanks Adam, I was actually hoping to visit the boutique in Firenze. We have 3 days there when we fly out, so hope to have some time to strap shop

Ah, I was about to second Seth's post but now we have a bigger problem on our hands: you own a DSSD and a SD and you can't swim!?!?

Anyway, if swimming/water activities are not an issue I would take your beautiful Panerai.

And now the serious stuff, please eat a lobster tail at Pansa in Amalfi and try to grab dinner at Flauto di Pan in Ravello or Don Alfonso in Sant'Agata.

GB-man · 8 September 2017, 12:32 PM

Has to be the panerai! Looks sensational
