Mine has to be the 233.

IMO, it's the best all-around reference for the money. It's got the '50's case, small seconds, date, dot indicator, domed crystal, clear caseback, & 8-day (really 10-day) manual wind. Not to mention, she looks good with any strap (tunnel or french ammo).

What's your fav?........

Mine is/was my first, the 88.

Thats a great watch Mike, and actually I almost got that one.

But my favorite is my one and only the Pam000.

skyedog · 20 May 2011, 09:04 AM

336 - because I am waiting for it.

SaddleSC · 20 May 2011, 09:41 AM

My favorite is the 177. It has great historic looks...the darker brushed finish gives it a great vintage feel and the lighter weight makes it extremely comfortable.

mfer · 20 May 2011, 09:47 AM

Going old school with my 210...

heart82 · 20 May 2011, 11:21 AM

341 is not mine, it is way toooooo big for me, I can't pull it off. Too busy to taken a picture of the 416 yet, maybe not since it is exactly like 417 except the case back... or you meant this one - I just took this picture few hours ago at Phillies game with my phone, Giambi had 3 homers:

360 - 339 - 292 - 372 - 55 - 232

Nugs · 20 May 2011, 03:59 PM

312 for me.

dalip · 20 May 2011, 04:34 PM

Have the 24....now seriously considering a 320....233 is also a definite at some point, but am still anticipating more of a price drop on that reference.

Cru Jones · 20 May 2011, 05:49 PM

obviously, the one i'm wearing!

the 323 ain't bad, either. 337? ok! 24? yes! 348? why not? bronzo? very nice.

just too many.....

bcacncnc · 20 May 2011, 05:49 PM

Nice pics guys. If I REALLY had to pick from my two PAMs the best bang for the buck - it would have to be the zero. Still love my 233 to bits though...

h999r · 20 May 2011, 06:07 PM

Waiting for 416 now. It's gonna a good investment. Will getting it sometimes next week.

Psmith · 20 May 2011, 07:58 PM

I always seem to return to the 111. SE/LE PAMs have no extra appeal just because of this status - I either like the watch or I don't. Likewise inhouse movements. Have a soft spot for the 320 though, as it has more appeal than the 312 (which is also a nice watch). For me, a Panerai should be fairly simple, but not too simple i.e. not the Base models. And certainly not too complicated or busy-looking e.g. chronos, PR meter on dial, etc.

Jibba · 21 May 2011, 01:16 AM

233 now but could change to the 372

Fearsome Puppy · 21 May 2011, 01:22 AM

Hopefully it'll be the 372 for me as well...

leeye · 21 May 2011, 01:58 AM

My fav pams are those that i currently do not already own

Atomant · 22 May 2011, 12:59 AM

Gotta be the 25.

TSW · 22 May 2011, 01:31 AM

Pam 231

TswaneNguni · 22 May 2011, 05:01 AM

I own: The 289

I have seen : 350,The Egyptian,203

I have not seen : Most likely the 21

PanosI · 22 May 2011, 05:16 AM

312 has stolen my heart

Athas · 23 May 2011, 12:01 AM

233 for me but now I want a ceramic model

kilyung · 23 May 2011, 12:36 AM

312 or base

dukerules · 23 May 2011, 01:31 AM

As far as models which have actually been produced, probably the 203. As far as production models which are attainable, probably the 233. But I think (and am hoping) that the 372 just might be the best of all.

Nice pic, Mike!

Only have one - a Pam 88 but I love GMT watches and the 88 fills the bill.

I would like to own any of the GMT in 42mm, like the 355, 98, or 184. That'll do it for me!
