PAM535 v PAM351 v PAM233
Went to the local AD to check out some Panerais. After selling my 312 which I found too too heavy, I thought I would check out the PAM535. It's a beauty. I also checked out the PAM351 and the PAM233. Both beautiful pieces but not sure if the 44m is for me though.
Pics attached. Which one suits me?? |

Great pics ...they all look good on you.
535 or 233 are the two better ones though.

Both look great. The 535 fits you well. 233 is a little bigger. But it's lighter and thinner than the 312 you had.

It's tough with these close close ups to tell, but, they all look good to me.

535 is too thick at 42mm if you ask me. I think it just looks and wears weird being so bulky. I don't know for sure but I think the 535 is even thicker than the 233. Case diameter is obviously important but I also take the thickness into consideration. Good luck!

Forgot to say but, if budget isn't a serious issue, among those three, 233 for 100% sure.

My next watch will be the 351. Sitting on a beach sipping a Don Julio 1492 checking my 351 to see if was diner time sounds very relaxing.
