Hi. All Im looking for a black case watch for so long to wear daily . I saw in person the Panerai 643 in St Barth and really like its simplicity ( also liked a lot its strap). However I saw the "new" (not sure if its really new ) Franck Muller Vanguard which really took my attention as well. I only saw it online.
Could you guys tell me your fav one, comparing beauty , quality , value depreciation, machine,etc .

Franck Muller Vanguard

Panerai 643

Thank you all!

Radiomir for me. It's simply much better looking in my humble opinion.

I would guess it will depreciate less than the FM as well. I'm no expert on panerai or FM.

I prefer the FM in SS. Between those choices the PAM hands down.

The FM at a deep discount is a bargain however you need to know it is a keeper going in.

Oddly I am probably going to add the white SS Vanguard to my collection as the price is attractive.

Thanks Steve. The FM is offered by shops for 8,200 usd + . However I found a lot of people selling it new for 5.500 and used for 4..4500 usd.
The Pam 643 cost 6k usd ( Jomashop) and I couldn't find a mint one.

Anytime Ricardo

I have seen the FM over here in Singapore as low as 5300 new so I would avoid anything over that.

I understand the difficulty finding a mint 643 as most buyers really do wear them so it would be a struggle.

Hope you can find a deal that is impossible to pass up

oh, nice! Do you guys like this model ? I've never seen someone wearing that. Even here, no posts, pics, etc.

psv · 2 April 2017, 12:09 PM

I'm afraid neither speaks to me enough to be able to recommend one over the other. If I had to chose, I'd go Panerai.

Amazing pic Mik! I like the way I can replace the straps for other colors/models.

RICARDOVASCO · 2 April 2017, 11:12 PM

I got already the AP 15400 black which the dial is similar to the 643. Would you guys change your choices because that ?
