Officine Panerai

I'm undecided between a PAM 0244 and a Rolex GMT Master II. I can get both from ADs for more or less the same price (Rolex +8%) but that will not be the issue. I love both designs but regarding the movement of the PAM I found that is is based on a Valjoux... 

Owned a GMT and loved, it. Was a good, go with anything watch. It is a noticeable watch and you will notice many on other people. A Pam however I rarely see and feel it is a more unique watch. I know you cant go wrong with either one but the Pam in the lo... 

...but if one PAM will make me want to get another then at the end it will be more expensive than getting one GMT!!! Is the movement indeed Valjoux based?

buy the Rolex..... After all, if you want to buy a.....watch....Rolex must be the choice. Panerai is a..statement, not a timepiece...

That is a good thing to want more, I suppose is with any watch though. Yes the movement is Valjoux 7750-P1. They call it a Calibre OP VIII, but it is a 7750. So I guess it comes down to which really speaks to you.

...moreover coming from a PAM forum. Much appreciated for the objective (as objective one can be in a buzz-oriented topic like high end watches). Actually, and for obvious reasons, I posted the same question on the Rolex forum and got no answer. Maybe min... 

what a PAM244 is or looks like :P I'd get the PAM244 GMT over the Rolex because it's more unique IMO. If you want an even bigger size (PAM244 is 40mm), then I'd suggest taking a look at the 44mm PAM88 GMT. Good luck in your decision, and please do let us ... 

...the Paneari AD who told me he can get the watch and confirmed the price (and also offered me to leave the deposit to secure the watch) now says that it will take him until June to get the piece. Short story, the main distributor who supplies this AD ap... 

all in good faith are welcomed in all forums..... the fact that you did not have a response i n the rolex forum does not mean that you were not welcomed there.... it probably means that the purist that saw your question did not have an answer for you (may... 

If only have these two, I would choose GMT master II based on my personal rating on the outlook, calibre and overall beauty. But if u have a Rolex already , go to a Panerai without wrong... I would suggest u also have a look on PAM88 and PAM320. Both at 4... 

...have a Submariner (steel/gold blue dial with diamonds on the hour markers at 2,3,4,5,7,8,10,11 and sapphire at 6, 9 and 12) which was a gift. I don't use it very often because is too.. bling... for my taste. I'm an Investment manager and try to wear in...
