I narrowed my hunt for second Panerai

[clocking]

Yup...same composite material use on the 504 and 505...

Dont know if Panerai have resolved the issue with the composite material when they created the 504 and 505...

Alright just back from viewing the 505..
You full lah can't pm you hehe!

Bro ... tough decision indeed !

Since you already own a PAM312, go for something very different one .... PAM 505. But this 505 actually without the most important DNA of Panerai, crown protecting device.

Decision not yet, only narrowed my hunt for second Panerai. This is what I finalized, 305 SUBMERSIBLE hope not that big, then again my 312 already looks rugged, that's why I add 505 in my list, then again DNA of Panerai..

Have you tried on the 305? Maybe it will give you better idea the different feeling of both...?

Pam505

I will vote for PAM 505. Love the vintage looks! LOL but like what most bros here advised, check out the composite material buying committing to one. Heard loads of horror story of all these specially coated watches, eg, PVD etc.

take care and love PAM LOL

Since you already have the 312, I think 505. One look and nobody would think it's the same as your 312.
Only concern I have with the 505 is whether there's any issue with the composite. Better read up somemore and see if there are issues with the material...
For the 305, it is usually compared against the 243, and I actually prefer the 243, esp those with the tritium dial...
Have fun!

I am looking forward to hearing from anyone about the material issues, so far the bad review only on 339, 505 that's is no review..

I would go with 305 pam is not a pam without the "Ears". I am not a a radimior fan anyways

That's is the main issues.. sound like "RADIOMIR" not part of pam family..

305. Personally Quite skeptical about black pam, be it composite or ceramica. Any hairline or scratch on case/ bezel is very obvious...

I have no ideal, if hairline or scratch can't polish or can be done??

Pam 505 but think of the material.

Hi there,

312 was my first Pam years ago. Bitten by the Pam bug,I proceeded to buy the sub 305 and base rad 210.

The 312 is still my fav. The feel for the 210 is growing stronger but lost my love for the 305 and traded it for base pam55. Sold off the pam55 at huge lost and now I m happy with 312 and 210 and lots of straps! Currently has no urge to buy another Pam but can't say for the future.

I can see you part of RADIOMIR fan. The think is that you agree with 505 looks..
