Need the PAM community help

Looking to get a new PAM, stuck between these four. Please vote and share thoughts 372, 422, 423, 514.

All 47mm and not "complicated".

Love the basic look of the 372, but not crazy about the non saphire chrystal. I also actually like a little business on the dial of the 422 & 423.

Each is nice just looking for thoughts on which is the must have.

372 and the plexi isn't a problem it's actually a good thing. It looks great and the watch comes with an extra.

422 has it all. Sapphire crystal, seconds hand, power reserve. It looks stunning! Without a doubt, if I could wear 47mm this would be my top choice.

In my opinion, need to be like this :

1st. 372 - Less is more !
2nd. 514 - Radiomir 1940 case !
3rd. 422 - Modern with small seconds!

372. The plexi is less of an issue than you'd think and really adds to the warmth of the watch.

372. Owned it but thought it was a bit large, though only because the dial is so clean. Initially didn't like the plexi, but will nab a Speedy again and it has one. The 372 is a good one from Panerai.

372 or 422,while 514 is good,but the date window kills it

Personally I like 372 better because it is so simple

I voted on the 422. I agree with you, a little "movement" on the dial is a good thing and while I like the idea of owing a PAM with plexi someday (587 to be more precise... ) I'd say going with sapphire on your first(?) PAM is not a bad idea either. Finally, the "sleeper" PR indicator on the back... very

372 is a very strong runner up

I have already voted but I've also noticed in several places and Forums that the 47 mm watches have completely displaced the 44mm. It seems that's the trend now. And also I notice in the prices of pre-owned.

I would consider the 587 if you can get a hold of one ... I think it's the current ultimately gorgeous panerai but if not then the 422 was my choice ...
Happy new year

I say the 422, that dial is just so sexy. But the 372 is also a great choice, this is one of the times when you got to go with what sings to you.
