Hey guys,

I am thinking for 2 weeks now and cant get to an end. Which one would you recommend? I like big watches but the 243 v2 seems to be of better quality...I'm going to get insane...

Both watches are great(as gens)

But noob 243 is by far a better rep..

Some rumors say that there's a 305 coming but it's not for sure....go for the 243...:)

In the end, buy what you want. If you prefer bigger watches, then a 47mm will be better. The PAM305 as panasol mentioned, is rumored to be undergoing replication. If you want a good looking 47mm submersible with first class or super rep status, I recommend the PAM187 or the PAM389.

The 243 is one of the most substantial reps of all time. The wrist presence and heft cannot be understated. I would go for the v2 noob 243. You may want to wait for a 382 from zf maker, it will be one of the hottest panerai reps of the year.

Slightly offtopic but here´s my 47mm PAM 193 "Tunacan" on the wrist, big, heavy, lovely would go with the 243 V2 because it´s better, if I didn´t have this already

The PAM193 is a looker I have no doubt. It's unfortunate (though expected) that the rep does not have the depth gauge memory function, hence the low rating on the rep accuracy scale.
