That's not what OCD means. You're meticulous, self-conscious or bothered by scratches, but you don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder (for that reason).

If you really want advice on Panerai, you should post it in the Panerai section. If your wrist is big enough, go for one.

But seriously, thanks for the input everyone. This will definitely be a game-time decision tomorrow. Wish my luck and pray that I don't come home with both...
My personal choice would be the GMT over that PAM. However, I do own a Pam(233) and enjoy having some diversity in my small collection. Based on your expressed "requirements" I say go for the PAM. Good luck deciding.

The GMT got my vote. It's a fantastic watch. The 441 is a nice watch and I wouldn't mind one as part of a large collection but if I didn't have a GMT there's no way I'd be getting the 441 before it.

I have the GMTIIC (and according to your original e-mail you have owned one too?) and a 233 dot.

The Panerai is my favourite, but the GMTIIC gets far more wrist time. I like the 441, it is gorgeous and I can confirm that ceramic bodies keep their looks longer as I have a ceramic IWC pilot, and it looks new, always.

However, my 233 has developed a fault three times, and always taken care of by Panerai service, but the GMTIIC has never skipped a beat. Well apart from when I dropped it and shattered the bezel, but that was my fault.

I don't particularly care for the Panerai aesthetic, but it probably suits your needs better than the GMT would.

Thanks for the input everyone. I was going to go with a 116710LN and a PAM510 for a formal / informal combo, but got disappointing news from my AD: Panerai no longer will be using sandwich dials due to cost. Such a disappointment. Oh well, Panerai's loss, Rolex's gain...I went BLNR. Too stunning in person to pass up.
