What Rolex owners think of Panerai?

[kennethchia]

It's a beautiful watch. But from my personal experience the smooth bezel onto Panerai has so many scratches unlike my fluted bezel Rolex

Rollie too common... got a Pam ahead of a Rollie, no regrets!
But with PAM... argh, they all look the same! every year, different models, looks pretty much the same like the APROO ;p

Some how, Rollie has always been inmy want list, but forever @ no 2....
some others always swoon in an take the no 1 spot!

Got 2 experiences with Rolex but NIL with PAM.
Will like to own a PAM someday.
Meanwhile, am confused with the various models....

i would still prefer rolex compare to panerai.

Haha, no point to argue. Both are good watches.
When you want to look young, wear the Pam; when you want to look mature, wear Rolex

Nice thread to read

Hopefully I can get my first Rolex Sub & in future a pam

I started with Rolex but my collection is base on design and my likes.. My PAMs is nothing special. 111 for it's sandwich dial and strong look of the 299 bracelet.

Pam is trendy, rolex is more classy.

I think both are nice watches. They each have their "lovable" points.

PAM is over rated and over priced, while Rolex although a little over produced(IMO), still price in reasonably.

rollie to go. pam also nice but rollie still top list

Both brands has their own specialist in it... e.g rolex has a more classic feel.. and panerai has a more retro & trendy feel...

[Grave65]

Both are nice watches.
But a nice watch tells your character not brand not status.

Nv had a urge to own a Pam thou

[Dfc]

Both equally nice...

I would say its 2 very different style! Leather strap Pam looks good.. But some Pam models are very difficult to get in retail and official panerai shops!
