Just started dipping into new Parerai's

I was looking at watches recently and became intrigued with the history and
style of the Luminor line.
I have purchased a 510 and 562 within the last month and must say, I LOVE THESE WATCHES!!
The look , the feel, the accuracy...everything is so cool and nice.
Just an observation, that 5000 8 hr movement is amazingly accurate this far. Both watches running at +/- 2 seconds per day, well within COSC standards.

I have been a dedicated Zenith and Omega collector for many years and its sooo nice to not have to use a winder on these PAMs. Just wind once a week, and switch around to whatever.

Anybody got an opinion as to what would be a good addition to my new family?
I rely soley on reputable reselllers who sell only new, carry their own warranty and have been in biz for over 20-30 years so it cant be the latest lineup of Luminors.

I would recommend slowing down and figure out where you want to go. There are MANY dial variations and subtle case variations as well. Find models that look good to you and ask questions here. If you can, try on more models.

I find that people new to Panerai think all 47mm are the same, all 45mm are the same, etc. there are variations and they fit different.

You have two 44mm 8 day luminors. I'd look at others. Rads are often overlooked as people think they are fragile wth their wire lugs, but they are not.

Subs are very nice and wear large. Panerai is coming out with 42mm version now. I bet it'll wear more like 44mm.

Enjoy the hunt

Look into the 47mms. You definitely need a 372!

If you have the wrist size def look into the 47mm. I have a PAM 359 44mm and love it. Couldn't go any bigger. My wrist are to small.

We are very similar! I purchased the 560 and the 564 within the last month! I have the same thoughts as you!

Anyways, I agree with everyone else here, now we should take our time and explore a bit more. I am highly waiting for the new 42 sub. You should take a look at it. It is the PAM 682. It is not out yet, but would be interesting to see how it actually fit. Enjoy your new watches!
