Next!

Hey everyone!!

Well I'm looking for a Rolex to go along with my PAM Zero. I can't make up my damn mind!!!

I'm a photographer, so I don't wear suits everyday (just for wedding work) so the DSSD is on the top of my list followed closely by a GMT and Polar Explorer.

What do you guys think is a good compliment to a base Panerai?

Exp II 216570 would be my choice.
Have a look at them all at an AD.

GMT IIc. It looks great with a tux, jeans, and everything in between.

if modern rolex, 114060 or milgauss (black for a clean and balanced look, GV for a unique look or white dial for something cool & different).

DSSD is too big for everyday IMO, unless you need the "deep sea" feature. Sub, GMT, and ExpII would all be my recommendations.

Deepsea or the 42mm EXPII will complement your Pam Zero.

If you go with a rolex sport watch just keep it classy. Say no to ceramic.
