If chrono is not a must, I'll choose 172 over 192
among your other choices...332 is cool for it's look and it's blue rattrapante hand is so stealthy when it release, but in front of so many recent offering if I were to go for a black 1950, I'll look at ceramic 355 or 317, if I were to go for PVD, I'll look at 4, 9, 26, 28 if chrono is not a must!
225 has a strong and unique presence
However, paying high premium (above MSRP) for a watch diminish
the pleasure of owning it, but that's just for me and I know it's probably difficult to live with in the Panerai world.
any comments on these are greatly appreciated!
Hi guys, I have been looking at these and would like to hear what you think 192 Tantalum, 225 Slytech Sub, 332 Regatta DLC Would like to get the Mare, but the 300 is simply too big for me, and for the Pre V I like the 304 but the premium is a lot........ ...
192 Tantalium is a great watch...
Love its vintage look, and its greyish blue case. The blue hands are the cherry on the cake. Between the 3 you mentionned, it is, by far, my favourite. Another option, which won't cost you more than the 192 is the Mare Pre V Ref 301/A... I would prefer it...
yes the 192
Thanks vm Nico! I have not been able to see the 192 in person, but just by looking at some of the pics the luminova seems to be particularly green for some reason. Perhaps it is the lighting but I would like it to be more brownish. I tried to look up the ...
Correct about the greenish luminova.
But have an eye on the 301/ A, it is not more expensive, and, to me, it is an even better purchase, closer to the roots of the brand. Best, Nicolas.
Hi Stephen ,from your list, i will choose 192...
as i like the blue hands and a simple dial but a very strong body. Well, end of the day, its still your own likes, choose one that you really like. All the best in your hunt and post some pictures when you have got it. Regards John
thanks
Sure, the important thing is to see it in person and follow what I like the most. The difficult part is to find them and try on. Thanks for your input! I am surprised to see the 192 is getting so much compliment Cheers! Steve
All those are different in characteristic...
Although that they all have chronograph complication... 192 is simply most unique because of the material 332 is a really cool looking Panerai But I'd pick the 225.. The Slytech Sub Best, Sam
WOW^2
What a difference it makes with the blue croc strap! Thanks so much for the pics, it ROCKS!!
Definitely the PAM192 Tantalum Chronograph for me
I was close to pulling the trigger on the PAM192 when it first came out, but the high retail price was the deal killer for me. I still love the PAM192 very much though. The PAM225 Slytech Submersible doesn't really float my boat because of the white dial....
the 192 is slowly winning me over indeed
Thanks Anthony! But I do like the Stealth look of the 332, particularly the blue hand really stands out. I managed to see it in person, the green luminova is throwing me off a bit though, perhaps it is just me? cheers
It should be the same green as on the PAM192
It may not look as green on the 192 since the 192 doesn't have the all-black look. - AT

Pam 192 is a beautiful watch
I have owned one and it is the best looking Panerai to me except T dials. I no longer have the watch and the only reason I sold is to buy a Pre-V. The other great thing is that it does hold value. Not all Panerai do this. Bill
