All are priced around 14k, thoughts and opinions would be appreciated. I am still searching through many brands to see if there's anything else i should be looking at, so suggestions are welcome but nothing above 14k

AP Rubberclad:



White Gold Daytona:



Panerai 286:

 

OUt of those I would go with the PAM! For sure.

 

Pam

 

Personally, if it were going to be my only watch, i'd go with the AP.

 

I second this. The Pam and Daytona don't do much at all for me.

 

If it was me, it would be tough between the Pam and the AP.

I probably would be coming home with the AP though.

 

It's going to be what i would classify as my only "nice" watch. Others that i own are:

Tag - not worn very often.
Cartier - Tank, current daily.
Limited Edition Swatch (actually very nice watch, bought at David Orgell years ago and haven't worn it more than twice).

 

They are all nice watches. My resoning behind choosing the AP is that I would prefer to own an SS Daytona over that specific white gold model since it has the same dial as the SS model. The newer white gold ones with the red dial accents are very nice. As for the Panerai, I have seen that model in person, and while very nice, it wasn't really my taste. Can't go wrong with any of them really, but I think the AP is a great all around choice.

 

Pam

I like the AP but not in rubber....

 

Personal preference:
AP > Pam > Rolex
