The best Panerai

Going to go against the crowd here and say that IMHO the best Panerai and the one to have is the PAM233. And it sure looks beautiful too on oem green gator lol.

Good looking watch, but that color is way to feminine for me, but it does go with your phone.

I read the title, and my own reaction was 233. The 233 looks amazing on the wrist. Congrats on yours. Someday

..yeah, I'm afraid I'm more interested in what's on that plate right now than that beautiful 233 'cause it's almost dinner-time here and my fridge doesn't have anything anywhere near as appealing in it...

It is called Bird's Nest... Bread with a hole and they cook an egg inside. Then they topped it off with beef stroganoff and some crispy onions. Simply delicious.

Sorry, I don't think this is accurate " against the crowd".
I think you will find that the crowd here either has one or wants one.
I'm one of the ones in the latter group.
Even us 372 owners/lovers 'know' the 233 is 'one of the best'!

OK, cheers! and that green strap looks very cool.

Here is my 372


Is what it is: a tool watch, nothing else nothing more. I love it's simplicity, but to each it's own
Cheers !

Hard to argue against the 233 for sure. It is a nice blend of modern and history. I am a fan for sure.
