PAM00512 or Rolex 16613 Bluesy
Hi All. It's been over a year since my last watch and I am ready for my next one. After lots of (fun) reasearch and thinking, I am closing in on the Rolex 16613 and the PAM00512. Very differnent, I know, but those are the two that are speaking to me the most. I consider them to be at more or less the same price point (11613 would be pre-loved, of course; PAM00512 would be BNIB or LNIB).
Any thoughts, especially in view of what I already have? Should I be considering anything else? Please refrain fro the "whichever you like best" and "it's what you like that matters" answers. I get that, and in the end that is what will decide it, but I really respect the views from the folks on this forum. FYI, I started this thread on the Rolex forum already, and wanted to see if the feedback was different here. |

Two very different watches, but, I'll try: since you have a Rolex and have a Tudor diver, how about going with the 512? You get another brand plus a very different option, watch-wise, with unlimited strap options.

How about
The 514? Do you like 47 mm?

As you can see in my signature, I'd go with the bluesy. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks Auto. I think the 47mm is too big for my wrist. I also like how well the 42 mm 512 fits under a cuff. |

PAM for sure. I love the versatility and them being less common.

I would go 512 based on your collection, but on the secondary market so you get a bit of savings and minimize the depreciation hit.

Update: I tried on the 16613 at lunch today, and I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I like the blue color on my Tudor better, and I felt like the 16613 might be a bit duplicative, especially in a collection as limited as mine. So I am definitely leaning towards the Panerai, which I think will fit better into my collection, in terms of giving me things that I don't have.
