I am looking for a black, full ceramic sports watch to add to my collection. I have narrowed down my search to the following 2 pieces - PAM00335 and Hublot Big Bang Unico Black Magic 42mm. Both can be had for a significant discount via grey. This will be my fun watch for weekends. Which one do you guys prefer? Both have their own merits.

Agree with all of the above lol

LoudBryan44 · 7 September 2020, 03:32 AM

Unico all day long, I have owned both I enjoy the Hublot 10x more than the PAM.

emtee · 7 September 2020, 03:33 AM

Pam 100%

I love the Unico Black Magic and this would be an easy decision for me. That said, can’t go wrong either way.

Panerai, Panerai, Panerai

One is a traditional company with more than 100 years and the other is a new brand from 1980. To me it makes a big difference but that's just me.

trfChris · 7 September 2020, 07:19 AM

Hublot for me. The Unico movement is awesome and easy strap change system is great too.

But that history does have some sinister figures in it though... as much as I like Panerai (have 2 myself), I‘m not entirely sure that the heritage portion is the best selling point, especially with regard to the ceramic ones that are as far as can be from an original Rad‘. Both watches shown by the OP are very unique iconic designs, but only one is the best possible rendition of that design... and that would be the Hublot. Now if that Pam were in polished steel, my verdict would be entirely different.

I was hoping for some feedback from someone who had experience with both models. Can you pls elaborate why you prefer the Hublot that much more? Thanks!

The hublot has so much more cool factor. Panerai is boring to look at, the skeleton dial hublot you can stare at for days. I get more compliments on my hublots than any of my other more expensive rarer pieces.

Thanks Bryan. Do you have the 42 or the 45mm? Feel free to share some pics of that beauty. Cheers!

Panerai

The Hublot looks like a mishmash of Genta’s greatest hits with elements of the Nautilus, Ingenieur, and Royak Oak, without achieving its own character.

That said, the 335, like my 317, is pretty atypical/untraditional for a PAM.

htc8p · 7 September 2020, 08:30 PM

Has it now come to this? Panerai being compared to hublot??

Hublot for sure! Panerai posts fake watches on their Instagram haha

Watchflair · 7 September 2020, 10:35 PM

I’d have to go with the Panerai.

You can swap straps for increased versatility.

I’m unabashedly a Panerai fanboy. No contest.

rajurama · 8 September 2020, 12:08 AM

I like them both , hublot is technically advance modern watch where as Panerai has a timeless classic charm. Can't go wrong with the either.

Andy0331 · 8 September 2020, 07:01 PM

I'd definitely go with the PAM, however I would look for a 317 for a bit more $$ than the 335.

Swaye · 8 September 2020, 10:37 PM

panerai

cuibono · 8 September 2020, 11:17 PM

Between those two, the PAM. Have a look at Zenith too...

That would be my pick.
