Chronus Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 PAM192 is handwind, the other is automatic. maybe that will help you decide. PAM192 is also titanium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I personally prefer PO over 192. It is much closer to genuine and much more believable as gen 192 is in 20 000 price range.... Maybe you should think about other PAMs? A classic 111 or 212 chrono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbody Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 another thing to say .. is that ill get a leather strap asap for the watch i finally buy ( ... any ) i love leather straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much closer to genuine and much more believable as gen 192 is in 20 000 price range.... Maybe you should think about other PAMs? A classic 111 or 212 chrono? yeah.. i was thinking that too the "believable" part .. but im pretty sure here in my country plp wont know much about panerai .. those who known them i doubt they will know that this an SE and cost 20k ( dont think we are old fashioned island we are as a friend say : "top-of-the-line") Thats a good point really and also how close is the PO to the gen ... it with a cool leather strap ( black ) it will rulz *Should i start a poll here?* Edited May 12, 2006 by warbody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 PO is really close... try and search for some reviews either here or at TRC. But honestly if I was to choose I would go for PAM 111. BTW you've got a cool member number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 For your own safety just stay away from PAMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGambleur Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 True that! PAMs are a serious drug, once you get a taste you´re hooked for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehtolcad Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 warbody, i'll put it to you this way - i got back in to rep collecting in search of a PO. i currently own a 192, but not a PO. do the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no PO in the market ? or what ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehtolcad Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 no, it's just that the 192 is THAT nice. and i keep waiting for a better PO. i was tempted and tempted and tempted along the way, but the panerai 127 and 212 experience were fresh in my mind. if you don't know what i'm referring to, it's when the generations get updated a number of times in a short window of time. i'll have that PO, but believe me the 192 is great. plus i'm confident that the PO will continue to be made, the 192 on the other hand may not. i haven't heard anything either way, but it is my speculation. so the idea that one would get it while it can still be gotten applies. the bottom line is that you've gotta select the one that YOU like the best.

Interesting , very .. ! ehtolcad . thanks One thing i have to admit is that i have never used a PO nor a Panerai .. in my own hand . Got it ? i guess i shuold wear both ( at least in an store ) before decide .. and its damn right what you say about the future of the PO yeah .we are sure in a near future we will see even better reps ... ! To all guys who visited/help me : Im thinking more in a Panerai ... now not exactly the 192 ... but .. Panerai is seducing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Im thinking more in a Panerai ... now not exactly the 192 ... but .. Panerai is seducing me The End. You are lost. Paneraitis in phase 2 (according with Esmarc's staging): Phase 1: What is a PAM? Phase 2: Wow, a PAM! Phase 3: Where is my PAM? Phase 4: Where is my next PAM?!?

Chronus Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 It's true PAM192s may be out of production soon... but POs will still be around. With the PO I prefer the orange bezel with the orange band... stands out And it goes with my Cruyff 14 Holland shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
