Narrowed it down to drummmmmm roll.

Rolex Explorer II white dial

Panerai Pam 112

I love, want, and need both

but can only have one.

It may come down to price as I can get a pretty sweet deal on the Pam not so much on the Explorer II. Due to the recent Rolex price increase I think the Explorer II is a bit overpriced so unless I can get it at a pre-increase price I may have to pass.

I do not have anything with a white dial but I already have two watches with a GMT function. I love the simplicity of the Pam and I do not have anything over 39mm.

I am buying from an AD and while the trusted seller's here are the best I prefer to have everything in my name when buying a new watch. I know I'll spend more but it's important to me to have the paperwork in my name I guess I weird like that.

What to you guy's/gal's think? Suck it up and pay more for an Explorer II because it's an exceptional watch or take the sweet deal on the Pam because I'll never regret it.

I don't like Panerais so Explorer II, it's an exceptional piece.

You can also have your name on the warranty card if you buy it BNIB from a trusted seller here.

BTW, another vote for EXP II polar.

Simple try both on if you can, then choose the one you like most, the only opinion needed about the watch you wear is your own.And you can still have the papers in your name even if you buy from a Trusted seller on TRF.

Michael, tough choice...good luck and you will be the winner because you will have a new watch!!!

Ohhhhh it's so hard I knew I shouldn't have created this thread.

OK...I have the day off today (still 9am in Hawaii) I am going to the mall with my wife and I'll stop by the AD and see if I can get a New Years Eve deal on the Exp II they will have to give me a break on it. I have bought 3 watches from them and have never asked for a discount, the time is now.

Best of luck and let us know how it turns out!

Explorer II, you won't be disappointed

mjm800 · 1 January 2011, 05:45 AM

Grrrrr, I just had a thought. What if the rumored Explorer II with vintage orange hand becomes a reality. I would kick myself for missing out on that and I would hate having to sell a watch I just bought.
