hello guys,
Would you sell your 232 to fund for 372? If you have to take only one, which one will you take between 232 and 372? please give me your opinions. Thank you and have a great day

esm · 19 February 2012, 12:13 AM

Keep the 232.

Reason - simple, they don't make it anymore. The 372 is a "regular" production piece for now. So there will be more opportunity.

Thats what I'd do anyway.

mfer · 19 February 2012, 12:41 AM

I've worn both and it is a toss up. If you love the 232, you'll just regret selling it.

Rollie2011 · 19 February 2012, 01:39 AM

232 for me

ocwatching · 19 February 2012, 01:45 AM

I would keep the 232...but then again..Panerai will probably release it with inhouse movement..ala 448...

toss up as the 372 is pretty special...

Fearsome Puppy · 19 February 2012, 04:29 PM

I'd suggest that if funds allow to initially keep the 232 and get the 372. Then offload the one you least like. I'd think that at current prices (assuming that both are/were purchased at list) that you'd not lose out much.

Or you could do what I did, and keep both...

Sad but true.

Or wait, maybe I can snatch one up?!?!? Needs a seconds hand though.

andrew79 · 20 February 2012, 11:02 AM

almost think the same thing, but 232 stays for me.

GFEAR · 20 February 2012, 11:48 AM

372 ALL THE WAY! LOVE my 372, its fantastic

HL65 · 20 February 2012, 12:14 PM

Love the 372 but not sure I'd part with a 232....tough decision.

Gbr · 20 February 2012, 03:01 PM

232 without a doubt. It is an SE and classic. Although it appears to be very nice in it's own right, the 372 is the pretty face of the moment and regular production. No brainer decision for me.

Shade · 22 February 2012, 12:25 AM

I never warmed up to the 372, the 232 on the other hand has always wowed me with its simple beauty. And I got to tell you, there are quite a few 372 not selling down here at the moment..

dukerules · 22 February 2012, 09:51 AM

Both amazing. One is an SE, one isn't. But one has a plexi, and one doesn't (but probably should've had one). I like the 372 more, but just by a hair. If you're not sure, and you might sell it later, stick with the 232.

A320 · 24 February 2012, 12:03 AM

thank you all... tough decision... gotta go try the 372 tomorrow and will see if it smiles or not

FLB03TT · 5 May 2012, 11:55 AM

Did it smile??

psv · 5 May 2012, 12:59 PM

Tough call. I don't really care about the whole SE makering gimmic thing, they are both in rather small numbers anyhow, if that matter.

Personally I'd go with the 372.

Sirowhite · 5 May 2012, 02:31 PM

372 for sure

kungpow · 5 May 2012, 04:50 PM

I like the look of the 372, but the 232 wears much better, at least for me since I have a small wrist. I can wear the 232, but can't come close to pulling off the 372

aboen · 5 May 2012, 05:21 PM

I dig the 232..just not on my wrist. 372 would be an easy choice for me.

jay_kay · 5 May 2012, 05:25 PM

I have been lucky enough to own both. Both wear almost identically in my opinion. In the end the crown guard won it for me and this is the one I kept....

texex91 · 5 May 2012, 10:18 PM

Put the 372 on and I bet you buy it--be VERY careful

Cru Jones · 5 May 2012, 10:41 PM

that's a TOUGH one, but, i think i'd keep the 232. something about the gold hand + the font on the 232. good luck with the choice.

kilyung · 5 May 2012, 10:59 PM

232

nauticajoe · 5 May 2012, 11:13 PM

The 372 gets my vote.

Friedl41 · 11 June 2013, 07:41 AM

Wondering what it was in the end ....

nim · 12 June 2013, 05:43 PM

372, looks better in real than on photo

nycpassat · 13 June 2013, 12:11 AM

Both are true DNA watches. My pick would be the 372 however. Has a little more sportiness to it than the 232.
