Officine Panerai

Since my popular 312 vs 233 comparison post, I thought another was in order...which 47MM Sub do you prefer? it is a hard choice to pick which is better! Please pick the ONE that you like better!...

I'm glad you started this whole thing because I used to own both of these watches and sold them to buy other timepieces down the line. Now, after seeing what you have got going on this forum I'm excited all over again and tomorrow I'm going to get myself ...  

Definitely the PAM187... the chrono function is indispensable for my job. Limited and unique because how many dive watches have you ever seen that had a full chrono (hour/min/sec) function... not too many. Plus it's the ONLY 47mm Panerai deep diver that i... 

that had to be some kind of record :)

Love chronograph Pam, would like to get the 187 with T-dial but instead I found a rare Chronopassion 2500m Destro Pam 358. The quest continue for a 187.... ...
