For me, it's the AP hands down. Perfect style.

The Daytona in that configuration doesn't do anything for me - I would much prefer a regular SS bracelet model with black or white face and no diamonds.

The PAM doesn't do much for me, either. I think Panerais look best when they are kept simple. Maybe I'm weird, but I would much rather have a base model PAM than the 286.

I have the 253 and it is a beautiful watch...also had an AP Rubberclad with white face...I actually prefer the rubberclad with the white face...

Not a daytona fan.

I'd go with the 253 but I am biased...

I have owned that model Rubberclad, a Pam 213 (and multiple others) and a SS Daytona (white face).

I would take the AP hands down, the others aren't even in the same league quality wise.

Pams have become too much of a fashion statement. I loved them 3-4 years ago when no one knew what they were. IMO they whored the brand out and the watches aren't as unique as they used to be. Daytona is a classic and always will be, but the ROO is the pinnacle of the sport watches (under 20k) to me.

I think the Daytona would suit you the best Josh or maybe the regular RO Chrono or dual time?
This is based on how you dress from what Ive seen.

AP's are becoming more and more popular...

The top two choices are the AP and PAM, i'm going to take a look at the PAM on Wednesday night, we'll see what happens...

AP Rubberclad:



White Gold Daytona:



Panerai 286:


out of those, hands down the ROO.... best all around piece..... the rolex wont be good for sports stuff, and the panerai couldnt take a beating and theyll have a new one that will take its glory soon.. versus the AP which is an iconic sports piece

That pams a 253 not 286 !

Out of those 3, would be very tough. Between ap and the panerai regatta for sure. Being that I love the 253 and will get one some day, it would be that!

Nope, it's a 286 - has the extra button and blue on the dial (not to mention different movement).
