Which one to let go?

I currently have a Daytona 16520, an Explorer II 16570 and a Panerai PAM 005. I am letting go of one of them today and it isn't the Daytona. I would like to end up with a Rolex and a Panerai but I also love the Explorer II 16570. The one I keep out of the two would be my daily wearer and I would have the Daytona for dressing up/versatility.

Which would you let go?

I like the PAM 005 better in general, but for a daily wearer maybe I'd keep the ExpII for the date feature & also it fits under a shirt cuff more easily

i posted in the other sub-forum first, but, the answer is the same:


keep the 005 for sure, unless you find you don't wear leather straps too often due to the heat of kuwait. in which case, maybe a bracelet is the way to go?

I like the Explorer for everyday. Very light and extremely accurate!

Sell the explorer and PAM and get a nicer Pam like a 233.

Sell the Explorer

I agree with that, but if the money from the explorer is not needed you could upgrade the pam.

I like the Explorer better then the PAM so I would say, sell PAM, keep Explorer. Also you post this in the Rolex discussion forum, so maybe it is the Rolex you want to keep the most yourself also?

My combo is a SS Daytona and Explorer, so you can probably guess which brand I would part with.

My own view would be keep the explorer. I'm not a fan of Panerai.
