Been on this forum for a while now and have picked up some Rolex and Tudor reps. I am really getting interested in Panerai watches but am baffled at how much variety there is out there. I have exhausted the search engine trying to find my perfect Panerai with no luck yet. Here is my wish list:

- 42 or 44 mm
- Blue sandwich dial
- minimal complications
- prefer brushed steel over polished but either is acceptable

Basically I would like the PAM933 but I cannot find it anywhere. Anything similar or close to that you guys know of? Thanks

Pam688 or pam927 44-42 mm., Blue dial, sandwich, polished if only gmt is fashionable to consider it a straightforward "complication" ... An exclusive, I do not control the actual availability of TD, but I think they should be available.

PAM688 will check as it's 42MM with sunburst blue sandwich dial and no much complications beside GMT. Case is polished however but since you said it's acceptable, it's fine.

The one by VSF is a great one and I have myself.

The closest thing to 933 is 960 but it’s 47mm. You won’t find rep of 933 or any other rep in stock with blue dial that is 44mm.
I think closest rep to your wishlist is VSF v2 Pam688 which is blue sandwich dial, 42mm, it has gmt and date complication.
