As much as I like the Panerai, and the IWC, and the Zenith (and I do really like all three), I'd go with the Aquanaut. It's the perfect mix of class and sport. I'm a big proponent of fewer, nicer watches as well.

I think there's also a good argument for the Panerai plus one. Given your current collection, you're missing a dress watch. The Panerai isn't exactly a dress watch, but it's dressier (relatively) than the Sub. and the ROC.

But still, I think the PP is the best of the options.

Regardless, this is a great problem to have! Every outcome is a good one.

I vote to have fewer watches BUT much nicer. So PP for me.

I'm definitely lucky to have this problem. Thanks for chiming in. Cheers.

Sweet. I didn't know it came with a bracelet either. Do they sell the bracelet separately?

If I had the coin to get a PP, regardless of which model, I would. I said before that I wasn't a big fan but it's mostly the strap (even though it sure looks comfy). If I had the opportunity to own an Aquanaut and liked all the design had to offer, I would buy it in a New York minute.

Cheers!

the GO and PAM would be my choice...may be my choice of color in that GO model would be grey, but blue is great too and a color choice is just personal taste

Decision made and action taken!

Here's a sneak peak of what I decided to go with. I'll post more pics in a separate post soon.

I couldn't be happier with my decision. Thank you all for your input.

That was a tough one and I wasn't sure where I'd end up, but, I see you've made up your mind, so, I'm saved!

Great watch incoming! Congratulations.

GO + El primero

The Aquanaut while nice enough just didn't do it for me when I tried it on. The Nautilus however, does. :) I also love the new IWC's.

If you can swing an Aquanaut, you can save a bit more and swing a Nautilus.

That's what I'd do.

My dream watch is a Nautilus Chrono.

That's my dream watch as well. One day. For now I'll be enjoying the Aquanaut. Cheers!

No GO or Panerai compares to Patek.

[JJL]

Wow, awesome decision to have to make!

I would take the Patek over the GO + Pan in a heartbeat

With that being said, I like the IWC and El Primero more than the first two you mentioned, but I think I'd still go with the Patek over both of them.

IN CONCLUSION, PATEK! :)

Good luck!

[dddrees]

I'm bias, but my vote goes to the PP 5167.

Edit: Congrats, I'm sure you'll be very happy you decided to go with the Patek.

All great watches. The Patek won this match for me, though. ;)

Thank you sir. The 5167 really is an amazing piece. I'm only getting more satisfied with the decision I made.

Cheers.
