Icon5 PAM 270 vs Rolex 18039....PIX!!

I Figured I would ask in the PAM section. I have a rolex 18039 in good shape ....have an offer to even trade for a PAM 270....

I know they are very different watches ....

I just want some opinions!!!

I like bigger watches ..but I like this 36mm rolex too...Yes...I love bling...:-)

Also not sure on value of Both..

Want opinions from PAM guys !!

If you have no sentimental attachment to it, go for it! Since you like larger watches, your decision is half way there.

Otherwise if you can't part with your Rolex save up for the PAM.

Have you tried them on? The PAM GMT is a thick beast.

I love it but I have smallish wrists and unfortunately it didn't suit me ='(

Both nice, and different.
Is having both an option?

If it were me, I would probably look to keep the DD, but change the dial and bezel, and then look to pick up a lower-priced PAM.

There almost the same in price. I have a feeling that dial kind of decreases the value of the DD. Hard to find a buyer for something like that. You can wear that PAM everyday.

I would

That Rolex looks like a swatch watch compared to the Panerai.

They're so different that a comparo is fruitless. If you want a change of pace go for the PAM - it's a great piece.
