317 without any second thoughts...
The 317 is a stunning watch, stunning movement, black 1950 case and more of a daily wearer.
I had high expectations for the 26 but when i got mine was a bit dissapointed.

PAM 26 vs. PAM 317: Which do you like better and why?
If you had to decide between the 26 and the 317, which would you select and why? Craig

Both watches are desirable pieces, but I would stick to 'tradition'
For me I would go, pick or stick with that PAM 26. It does not have all the functionalities I would treasure, 8 Days & GMT but its design is not compromised and remains 'traditional'. What disturbs me about Pam 317 is that pusher at 8 o'clock, otherwise i...
IMHO
The pusher at 8 is far better than pusher at 2 or 4 while sticking out from the crown protector. Looks like they've learned their lessons with the new in house 8 day rattrapante the two pushers at 8 & 10 looks a lot more balanced. Obviously for the monopu...
I like the monopusher at 8 o'clock instead of 2 or 4 o'clock as well
The reason being is it makes it easier to use the chronograph feature because then you can then activate the pusher with your thumb. Montblanc has its monopusher chronograph button at 8 o'clock in its Nicolas Rieussec monopusher as well. Cheers, Anthony...
I have chance to try both in same time at Chronopassion in Paris, my prefer is the 26, cuz
The PVD traitment is pure killing, the metal have amazing refle cts, so the watch is in pure spirit of pré-V and first Vendome. The 26 suxx only cause Angelo don't respect the numerotation. But she beautiful. The 317, have 2 big esthetical matters, s...
No hesitation
Okay no hesitation I'd take both. Jokes aside I ordered the 317 so no point in having second thoughs anymore. I like the black look and I think that the monopusher is a great innovation. I'm sure that it will just look great with a white shirt on the week...
My choice is PAM 26
"complicated" Panerais are just not my cup of tea The 26 is more in spirit of Panerai tradition and what Panerai stands for IMHO Best Damian This message has been edited by Ares501 on 2009-04-10 01:50:09
317?
It depends, in your case (292, 26 and others), it's a totally different watch from what you own. Ceramic 1950 case, monopusher chrono movement, beautiful strap, different and nice dial. I think both watches are not in the same league, the 26 is just a "si...
