I guess if you can't decide which great watch to get, get them both!!! They look awesome. Love the blue hands and the clean dials.

Ya.. i really couldn't decide that's why i bought both. Even with the watches on my hand, i still couldn't decide which i like more. And yes, the tag is still attached. I haven't worn them out yet. Ordered a strap from Strap Smith and still waiting for it. Once i get it, i will see which pam looks better on that strap, then the tag will be OFF.

Congrats again on both!

Nice watches for sure, but both are a bit too large for you imo.

Thanks guys! They are both nice that's why i bought them both. I just couldn't decide. It is a tough one but i really have to pick one... i will have to with PAM 449 because....

1) PAM 449 has the brand PANERAI on it. PAM 448 is cool but i'm afraid many might not know what watch it is. If u pay that kind of money, u do want ppl to know it's a PAM? Correct me if im wrong. (Again, if i was in The States or Singapore etc where everybody knows what a Cali Dial is, it'd have been a different story.)


2) The looks last ... longer if i make sense. Cali dial is gorgeous without a doubt but it gets boring.. and it looks a little bit like expensive swatch watch or other watches that also have roman letters. In long run, SLC dial is simple and yet the look last longer. And it is unique. No other watches have this type of dial.

3) It is the one and only model who carries this dial with blue hands. One look, and it has got to be the PAM 449.

I like big watches. They are not too big for me. They look awesome! I sold my IWC Regulateur which is 43 or 44mm because it was too small. 47mm is the right size. My wrist is 7inches and i'm 6'1. So ya....
