372 or 587...

Mar 25, 2015,13:52 PM
 

Does the 587 have a sapphire crystal?  Because the 372's lack of a sapphire crystal would bother me.  


But after trying to be a 47MM fan, I realize that I don't lift enough weights and the 44mm model works better for my wrist.  It's not the historical size, but it's the best one for me.  So my favorite 44mm that's in production now is probably the 590.  Which is awesome because it has a sapphire crystal!

Panerai PAM 372, 557 or 587?

 
 By: amanico : March 21st, 2015-05:23
Three strong offers from these 4 last years. Three 47 mm, two different cases. Which one do you prefer? PAM 372: PAM 557: PAM 587: I would say PAM 587 first, for its no crownguard case. Then 372, and 557. The epitome of what a Panerai Watch is, which is g...  

372 for me

but we know the Purists choice ;) Your D

I changed my mind more than once, with these refs.

Waving between the 372 and the 587... ;) Best, Nicolas

So you must follow your old rule

Both! :) D

If I could only have one....

it would be the 587 for me. ...  

For me, definitely a PAM372

But one thing I never liked about the Panerai 1950's is the "REG. T.M." stamp on the crown guard. I really wish Panerai would either get rid of it OR stamp the "REG. T.M." on the underneath of the crown guard, so we don't have to see it. This is why the H... 

The hands of the 587 are what make the 587 the champion that it is!

In December I had both the 372 and the 587 in front of me, and I must say that the 587 made the 372 look contrived with its short stubby hands and big lettering. But I walked out with something totally different... perhaps I'll make a post about that ;) S... 

Agreed. The Hands of th 587 are THE killing detail.

I am just curious to see what you Grabbed, instead of the 587! Best, my friend. Nicolas

587....

without a doubt in my mind. The "transitional" cases 6152-6154 (small egyptian) are unbeatable. The impeccable Panerai DNA, underlined by the vintage hands, compared to the stunted/truncated ones of the 372-557, and the Marina Militare on the dial, make i... 

Psychologically tough...

You know my situation. I lost the three last Panerais I had... Getting one may be the cure, though... Best, Nicolas

you can choose to live: in the past, in the today or looking forward to the future :-) Unless you believe that a Panerai will...jinx..you, I would put the past behind and strap this absolute beauty on my wrist...hahahahaha

The 372 looks good on you.

Looking sharp vlad. The 587 has a lot of charm. ...  

Looks so good!

That's Vlad? That watch looks like it grew out of him. And even the braided leather strap bracelet adjacent to the watch. Perfecto!

372...

I actually prefer the "truncated" hands and the crown guard. Take that with a grain of salt as I have yet to own a Panerai. If I had the wrist for it, I'd get this in a heart beat. Best, Echi

Thanks for your feedback, Echi. For sure, when you want to get your first Panerai...

The iconic crownguard is so much part of the brand DNA... Best, Nicolas

A tough call, but the iconic 372 just gets the edge ...

over 587 for me. I actualy turned down a 587 and still have some regrets. Will only get 587 if I trade in my 372 for a 'Fiddy' or Pre-V piece. I agreed with you about the crown guard resonating Panerai's DNA. By the way, can you tell me which three Panera... 

Tough answer...

I've been burglarized and lost my Logo Pre V, Mare Pre V and PAM 249... Hence my psychological " reticence "... But since the unveil of the 372, I am tempted again... Best, Nicolas

372 or 587? No way to answer to this dilemma... except you follow...

... the old rule: one of each! 587 has an special charm: the big crown without protection, the hands, a beautiful case, the great neat dial with the Mamma Mia inscription... All this plus the whereabouts of its purchase in Paris makes it a very special wa...  

372 for me.

The sexy plexy, and sensuous nature of the watch are too charming to pass up! I wouldn't kick any of the three out of bed, so to speak, but the 372 embodies the best of Panerai IMO. Cheers, Daos

Wish I could pull off a 47mm

All the models mentioned here motivates me for a wrist implant! :) They are pure Panerai DNA. Dogu

587 all the way...
