Love both brands, but neither of those models do it for me.

IMO the GMT is a nicer watch, but you don't see the Panerai's everywhere. IF you want to be different and still have a great piece, get the Pam.

Just based on looks that's a tough one for me, but I would go with the GMT-IIc. As for the watch as a whole, I would say the GMT-IIc is a clear winner. If the 88 were replaced with a 320 however, that might be a completely different story.

I only have one watch, a PAM, so naturally am a PAM fan BUT in this case, the GMT-IIc definitely is the better looking watch

PAM is too busy, as someone mentioned before, PAMs are great when simple, not so much a fan of their busy watches

If you don't already have a sport rolex, go with the GMT II. If you do take the PAM because all sport rolexes look the same :)

Two different style watches, but I would say PAM 88 is a better looking watch.

The GMT IIC is just so stunning that there's no comparison IMO. As others have commented, I like my Panerai to have more simple dials.

GMTIIc for me (as I've just bought one)

However I choose the 233 as my PAM GMT choice, and despite thoroughly enjoying my new Rolex, it is still my favorite choice.
