Reply With QuoteTop left and bottom left would be leaving if it was my collection, although to be honest i'm twitching about the 232 as that leaves you with only 1 radiomir, so maybe top right if you're not wearing it.
I'm curious what others would choose. These six have to be reduced to four :)

The 305 and the 249 would go if it were my choice. Is this a real world decision Baz, if so you must have a very good relationship with an AD? (not sure if my numbers are correct, I meant the steel sub and Cali dial)
232, 249, 372 & 382
I'd lose the Cali and the top right.
It's just a matter of time...
I don't own a Panerai right now. If the time comes for my first Panerai, I would go for a similar to the top right, but with green markers on the sandwich dial, which is the most classic and common Panerai. If I had a Panerai and had to choose among these for my second one, personally I like the bottom right better.
I'd let the ones on the right go
I'd keep this one
and sell the rest to fund some variety in your collection.
Cheers,
Gary
the Cali, bronze sub and the 1950 with brown dial next to it would be my keepers but the 1950 historic is the star of the show for me 8)
1,3,4,5
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I'm with Phil.Originally Posted by phil h
Each one is stunning in its own right. I have a weakness for the Cali dial & the SS Sub (305, 249) but the more i look at the others the more i like them.You might just have to put some numbers in a hat. Not much help sorry.
I would sell 2 and 4 if I had to make the choice....
This one is amazing :shock:
I'd keep this too and the black one..
I wasnt sure on Panerai but i tried one on last week, a 104 and i loved it.

Top right appeals most. Would lose the bottom left and bottom right.
It's a real world decision assuming Panerai honour their allocations to my dealer. #'s 1&3 (232 & 372) are givens for me, the real dilemma is which remaining two. All have merit, in the Panerai world at least.
The Cali #2 is Panerai's first ever watch albeit an homage as some will claim. #3 is effectively another homage to an original 6152 but affordable, whereas 'real' 6152's aren't. The bronze sub is just desirable to me, and imo. The composite cased 'fiddy' is an unknown at the moment. The Radiomir equivalent draws very mixed reviews but nonetheless is a 'bit special'.
My instincts are telling me 123&4. Thanks for the views and opinions :)
Bottom left and bottom right in my uneducated opinion, as i am an Omega/Seiko man.
Top right and the bottom 3
Definitely keep the bronzo.
Originally told that would out around September/October time, but now been told end of year, you been told any different?

372 supposedly due Nov/Dec. 382/375 supposedly Jan/Feb but Panerai lie and are unreliable whatever they say. I have an outstanding query on deliveries as we speak and waiting for an update next week.
Not a fan of the Radiomir case style or the Cali dial. Those 2 would be leaving.
OMG bro, you can expect some real back slapping on p.com when those bad boys turn up :wink:

Ditch middle top and sadly, bottom right...i think
FOUR? - I don't think I can make it. The only one I remotely fancy is the top left, the simplest one. Would not buy it though.
I wonder why bother to post at all with such a response :roll: Clearly not a Panerai fanboy :blackeye:
I'd ditch the two Radiomirs myself as I'm not as keen on them as the Luminors
Given Radiomirs are the original Panerai, the lack of love for them surprises me. Without the Rads evolution we wouldn't have a Luminor case :!:
Radiomirs are more understated and classy for me, i'd probably keep both, i have to say i'm not a fan of the fake aged lume, it's just trying too hard to be something it's not.
Keep the 305 and spend the cash elsewhere, perhaps a Pam312, but the other 5 are not the best to my eye at least.
The first two, top row, would go for me.
I am just not sure about those Roman numerals.
Greg. :)
I'm not a PAM expert, but on pure asthetics I would loose the California dial one and the bottom right. I prefer the other Rad, and Sub.
the bronzo and the 232 would leave...
you still have one rad (249), one sub (305), 1 1950 case and THE 372... a nice collection
I personnally have decided to go for a 190 (rad), 372 (luminor) and 25 for a sub... I don't really like the 1950 case on my wrist...
did you have a chance to lok at the 371 ?
I didn't actually handle it though had the chance of a 371 which i turned down. It's too similiar imo to the 305 but a lot more money for a GMT function ...on a Sub which i don't desire :?
Not much love for the 'cali' which surprises me :|
:)
if you have your name down for the 382 and have decided to pass it on when it arrives.... please let me know :wink: :)

I will, but don't hold your breath :)
Would definitely be the Cali dial and the 305 for me - the other four are all gorgeous :drunken: :drunken:
If it was me I'd be going for a 386 as my composite choice, just for a bit of variation in size.
I would let the bronze and the cali dial go.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
well I guess you don't need everybody to love the cali to own it :D
imo, this dial is asbolutely stunning and people just need to see it on their wrist to understand it...
if you get rid of this, pls let me know, I have more than a few ristis around here that could be interested :wink:
for the 371, I understand your point (3k for the GMT) but the back of the case makes it more comfy on my wrist, the blue dial is fantastic and the subdial with the blue hint is quite fun... but I agree, 8k for a GMT sub is a bit high...
Huge fan of the 249 personally 8)
Sure you wont have any probs moving a 382 on.:)
if you have your name down for the 382 and have decided to pass it on when it arrives.... please let me know :wink: :)
I tried my local AD. He's only got 2 coming across his 4 shops, and as he did me a massive favour on the 300, I cant really push it. Have got one through another dealer I use though. :)

Hate sterile dials so top middle gets the boot first. Then it would be a fight out between bottom left and bottom middle. I think bottom left could get boring, it's a bit of a novelty and I'm not a fan of many black watches and bottom middle doesn't do anything to sway me. I think blackie would probably get the boot.
Well, it's an opinion. It was not obvious out of which six one is supposed to pick four, and as I saw that it struck me how much I do not want to own any of them. So why not say so.
I wonder why bother to post at all with such a response :roll: Clearly not a Panerai fanboy :blackeye:
I saw no requirement that you had to be a fanboy to answer this - except implicitly, as only a fanboy would be able to pick four out of them :D
:shock:
Four Aces beats three pairs (which is also cheating) :lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't dislike the Rads, they just don't bite me like a Luminor does.
Tough call
Gray
Get rid of the ones with that silly crown-guard.....that'll leave you with 2 that look OK.
Paul
Purely based on looks and my taste (I don't know a thing about Panerais) I would let go both Submersibles and possibly the Cali.
...or the Cali and one of the Submersibles (possibly the bronze one but I'm guessing that's a pretty special one, so probably not...)
Sell the 305... to me :D
None of the above! Sorry, not that keen on Panerai's.
