This Panerai has been luring to me.....and since I don't have any white dial Panerai yet this might be a possible option. A friend is selling his. Question ? Should I ? Thanks guys for your insights....

PS : also the PAM 563 is on my radar....

I like the 188 and the whole series of watches that are similar. The 196, 250, 251 and 236. I previously owned the 236 which is on a metal bracelet. Look around because the price differences on these watches is significant even in the same line. Buy right, sell right and you will not get hurt.

But isn't the 188 dial more white-white compared to the 251 where the dial is more eggshell white ?

Have you considered 1499? Slimmer case.

Cru Jones · 16 June 2016, 11:48 PM

there's always something so eye-catching with white dial panerais.

I agree with Cru ^^ you don't see much of white dial in the wild

I did not look at the Pam 1499 yet, but I will, looks cool...

188 is the best white dial chrono IMHO. If the price is right, I would definitely go for it!

Maltie · 17 June 2016, 04:20 AM

The notorious PAM07. You don't see these in the wild at all....

I was after a white dialed PAM and had also narrowed it down to the 563 or 188. I ended up with the 563, but only because it was easier to find and buy - but since your friend is selling, you won't have any difficulty with that part. I really like the brushed case, polished bezel combo on the 188. Do it!

I like white dial PAM. The lume is not great, but works perfectly as a day time watch :)

Cru Jones · 17 June 2016, 06:51 AM

^^^ That 7 is just nuts!

Maltie · 17 June 2016, 09:28 PM

Decision made......188 is going to be my first white faced panerai, pictures will follow. That PAM07 is for me in the end a bit quircky, historical a Panerai model, but for me in the end not really.....(hope I don't offend hardcore Paneristi)
