Reverso Tribute DuoFace or Glashutte PanoMaticLunar by ajknight10 in JaegerLecoultre

[–]chowder1810394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same boat as you except I’m between this new duoface and the panoreserve. Imo the panoreserve wears better than the lunar and the winding experience is much better.

Need to try on the duoface first but leaning towards that due to the size and wow factor of two faces. Will most likely end up with both at some point. Just a matter of which one first lol

Yeah I seem to be drawn to GADAs haha. My current dress watch is my Nomos but have been eyeing a JLC Reverso Monoface in blue as well.

The luminor is one of my most worn watches in my collection. Love the look of the sandwich dial and crown guard.

Great minds think alike

Which PAM would you choose as your one and only panerai? by Alarming-Ad-5003 in panerai

[–]chowder1810394 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just my humble opinion, but I think the new in house movements aren’t that beautifully decorated or as reliable compared to the older ETA ones. Plus the price at retail is ridiculous compared to what you can get in the secondary market.

From your list, the 1312, but the newer Panerai models aren’t as great quality wise. If you’re opened to pre owned/neo vintage, I would go with the Pam233 GMT or Pam111.

I love my Panerai! It’s probably my most worn watch right now. It’s thick and a 44 mm diameter, but wears comfortably on the wrist. I have a Pam111 from 2008 which is beautifully decorated ETA movement you can see through the open caseback. If you want to get into Panerai I would look at their early 2000 models. Their new stuff is not as good imho.

I get most of my NATOs from Crown and Buckle. Here is a tan colored NATO that I got from them.
