OK
I have TONS of straps from when I had my 233 but I have no Panerai.

I am debating either a OP logo model (000 or 005 I think)

BUT

I am also REALLY in love with the 243.....

I just don't think the 243 would go as well with as many straps as
a base model. I have also looked at the 279 and LOVE it but for having
only one Panerai for the time being I think Id rather a black face.

I will own all 3 one day BUT if you could only buy a OP logo model or the
243 right now for regular wear and a watch you will not baby which would you get already having so many various straps (dressy and casual)

Get the one that suits most of your straps first, so that you can wear it everyday in every occassion you want! :)

I can't decide for you since I don't know what kind of strap collection you own..

Do you consider Radiomir, Jeremy?

A1000 · 25 January 2010, 08:57 PM

x2 I agree. If you've got some pictures or descriptions of your straps then it'd be easier to help with your decision. Both are nice watches which you'll know having had a 233 before.

Out of the models you mention, I would go for the 005

Cheers

Fro Radiomir, go for the classic...000.

You'd be surprised how many straps the 243 will marry up with and look great. Every one of mine looks great on the 243. Good luck!

I would go with 000 or 005 for everyday watch. Although the 243 is an awesome watch, it is just too big for everyday use imo.
