Tough choice, however I do love the IIc. Do you have a PAM already though?

Between the two, I would say the Rolex looks better. I just feel the PAMs look best with a very simple/clean/uncluttered dial.

For me, I'd rather have the IIc. It is more Rolex for a Rolex than the Pam is Pam.

does that make any sense to anyone other than me....

I think you already know the answer and it's not the one on the right

I have always thought that the 88 dial was a bit busy...
IIC gets my vote...

I would go with the gmt iic Rolex as it is one of the nicest Rolexes in the line up. It is legendary, see it in person to appreciate the glossy ceramic bezel.
That Panera is just ok, there are plenty of nicer Panerais IMO.

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

hahaha, i have the same choices for my next watch. i have a PAM104 and an EXPII, wouldn't mind having both!

if i were to choose though, i'd probably go with the 88 FIRST (then eventually get the GMT because i like it). this is because with the number of straps i could put, it'd look like a new watch everytime

that's because i already have an EXPII though... otherwise i'd get the GMT.

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.
