233 is fantastic! My next will be a 312 or a 359 most likely!

Good luck!

Out of the ones you have listed, I would go 372. Second choice would be 233.

Another for 233 or 372..... Or both of those!

The 233 is my only current panerai....and it is special IMO. The 372 offers a great contrast....with these as choices Eric I'd say it's only a matter of which first.

They both look great on you.

The only issue with getting 372 or a Rad is all the straps I have would not fit, but I guess I could always get more:)

If you are looking for something that you can wear every day, regardless of circumstances, I'd go with the 233.

If you want something more basic and simple, I'd go with the 177. I adore titanium in watches and Panerai does it well.

If you just want the Panerai to end all Panerais and be done with it, but not a watch for every single situation IMO, go for the 372.

See, that wasn't so hard? :-)

You have good tastes Eric. I'm biased and it depends on your budget, but I would sell the 114 and get the 233 if it was your one and only PAM. Then later on pic up a 292 to scratch the PVD/Rad bug.

This is a pretty wide range of PAMs, Eric.

I could make arguments for over half of them!

Thanks.

I can not sell the 114, the wife got it for me, so it is a keeper.

I really like the look of the 24, it's too bad, that I never see the 25 much at my AD. The only down side is that it is auto, I feel my next PAM needs to be a manual.
