Ceramic or PVD

[IWC Doppelchronograph]

I quite fancy a 'black, grey' Panerai and really wondering between the rad 292, Lum 026 and 360

I have read the reviews, but havent seen any of these side by side. I like the idea of 24mm lugs, so I can swap straps across my perhaps soon to be 3 PAM's but value some thinking here from those with more experience.

you have a rado case, a standard 44mm luminor, and then a destro case...

pick the case you like the most..

if you drop the 292, you're ******

If you like the idea of 24mm lugs, then you would only have two choices, the PAM026 and the PAM360 (the PAM292 takes 26/27 mm straps). And like cwazy said, if you drop the ceramic PAM292, then you're royally screwed.

I'm not a pvd/dlc fan myself, however kw just released the 386 and it looks pretty damn nice.

I like the 1950's case but they feel more retro so for me work less well in 'black'

Anyone feel that a left handed watch wearer should not have a destro, when I looked up the 026K 2008 model I see it was known as left handed which is to me at least confusing !

The PAM Destro models were designed to be worn on the right hand by left-handed people. This was for function. However, nowadays people just wear them for style.

Wear my 026 on my left hand, quite like having the CG pointing up my arm, not banging into my wrist!! Bought a 217 for this reason too.

I have decided on an 026k, hoping supplies hold up by the end of August, I think 8 straps and 2 reps in 6 weeks is probably a sign I need to slow down.....

Good decision and good speed ... LOL...
