kramerica2 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Up until today, I've been an Omega and Breitling person. My favorite watches are the PO and the SOSF. I'm looking to expand the collection, and try other brands. I'm basically open to any brand except Rolex and Tag. If I ever get a Rolex, it would after I could afford a gen one, and Tags just don't do it for me. Anyway, after some research, I have my eye on 3 watches: 1. The new PAM 250 (does it come with a tan strap?) 2. AP ROO 3. Ebel 1911 discovery "panda" I know that I'm the only one that can make the choice, but I'd like your opinion. Assuming that eventually I'd get them all, which would you get first? Excluding Omega, Breitling, Tag and Rolex, is there another watch you would get before those? Bear in mind, I plan to buy a watch once or twice a year, not more than that. Thanks a lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's best to get a strap elsewhere. check out the Straps section, sometimes they are some really nice straps selling for good price.

turnipz Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I like the discovery, anyways I would get whatever is farthest from your last watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I second the PAM 250. Beautifully done piece needing little to no modding. My second choice would be an AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Although I agree that the 250 with A7753 is an awesome watch OTB, if you go for that then watch out for the newer ones and the lume otherwise you may need to do that as a mod I never thought I would say this but why not go for the Radiomir 288 it is a fantastic OTB rep !! Best so far IMHO There I said it still cant believe I did !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerica2 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thank you all, I'm now pondering between the PAM 250 and 288.. I have a couple of questions, but I'll ask them in the Panerai forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipSlap Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 The Ebel Panda is really nice. I wear it for my dress watch ever since I got it. Good factory AR too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
