Officine Panerai - Is there a SS version of the 273, 235 or 395?

Is there a SS version of the 273, 235 or 395?

Hi all!

Hope you can help, I'm contemplating a GMT purchase. I've looked at a Rolex GMT and Explorer and thought, nah. Given up on Breitlings. Not really interested in anything else than a Pam this time around.

I'm not a precious metal guy, I prefer my watches in SS. Which is good, as it means I can spend on other pursuits as well as watches!!

So back to GMT's, and I am looking specifically for a 45mm Rad. To explain, I already have a 312, and like the time/seconds/date format, so I'm not after a 321.

I'm not really that into the Bettarini case with modded ETA, so 237, 088 & 297 are out of the competition.

Which means I've been having a look for the model I would like, and it seems that it's only available as a Specialty on precious metal.

Say it's not so!!!

Sorry, meant Special Edition. Not specialty.

Have you considered the 323?

IMO, a much a better dial (due to the absence of the hated fangs) than the other models you're considering.. :-) Ciao - Sergio

You're looking for the PAM268 in stainless steel

Sergio makes a good suggestion w/ the PAM323 but it's a 47mm Radiomir instead of a 45mm. So if you're comfortable wearing a slightly larger Rad, then the PAM323 is another good option. more info on the PAM323 here: http://panerai.watchprosite.com/show-for...

323

Thanks guys! Truth be told, the 323 is perfect with the one exception that I'd like a 45mm version. Argh! And I need an auto as I always forget to wind my manuals, so I am down to 2 of those now. So I have a 6 and 3/4" wrist, how big does the 323 actually...

Alex, here's a video of the 47mm PAM323 on my 6.75" wrist

This should give you a relatively good on-the-wrist look since we have the same wrist size. Cheers, Anthony and below is another video of the PAM323:

323 is the way to go

You already have a 1950 case, otherwise I would have suggested a 233 and agree the 321 is too similar to your 312. As you may know the slimmer profiles of the radiomir lend nicely to wearability especially with long sleeve shirts. I have 6.75" wrists as w...

So close, yet....

Thanks guys! I appreciate the help! Sergio, thanks for pointing me towards the 323. Darron, I do love your choice, but I also love my plain ol' 312. It's the closest thing I could get to a base in an auto at the time and I've become very fond of it!!!! An...
