Thanks a lot for all your replies!
I know that 243 has a Super Rep status .. But I'm more oriented for a 47mm. I'm also not a big fun of Cyclops on Pam. This is also excluding the 24A. However, There is a good chance that in the future I will go for a Vintage Egiziano.
About the 364 I should probably considering it. It is a Titanium and its only visible flow is its CP. The only thing is the bezel design.. As you could see from my original choice I'm more oriented for a bezel with small market between 12 and 3.
569 looks like is the easy winner at this point, however I'm seeing a lot of "silent" vote for the 508, in the Poll.

I have a solution for you:

Most of the guys here started your way but we all end up collecting many pieces... You will never get a definitive answer best is to save money and slowly build up a collection, only that way you will be satisfied.. my 2 cts...

Everyone needs a destro. As an added bonus, it is an extremely nice and accurate rep. You can't go wrong with the waffle dial either.

Then add the 243 to your collection. Game over.
Absolutely, you need a 1950 chase... the 243 its any good choice. Nice box guy!

You can't go wrong with either. Best option is to get them all since you clearly don't like one more than the others.
If I'd have to choose only one, I'll probably choose 382 regardless the accuracy to gen. No other watch has the same character.

Today I would answer 569, since it is the next one I'd love to get.

However, let's approach from a different point of view....
Let's imagine you are collecting GENs :)
So, let's ask ourselves ...Wich one is:
- one of the most desireable, one of a kind, scarce, dificult to get, panerai """said""" (It would not bet my life on panerai afirmations, however) they never would work with that material again.
- it was almost imposible to get one when released, and now it has rised its value by 5 times or more!, so every collector would like to have one.
- it's beautiful, unique character, one of a kind at the same time.

The answer is 382 , bronze is bronze :)

And 382 is coming back.. At the end " Bronzo is Bronzo", but it is also true that everybody deserve a Destro...
I should change the title in "Which Subs to add to my Sub Collection"?
I would probably need a new box dedicated to subs...

Well bud… Apart from the 243, you've pretty much narrowed it down to a list of must have subs. I have the 243, 389 and have the 569 in transit. I bought the 382 M2M but it never arrived and the seller suddenly went missing and the 508 is near the top of the shopping list, with the 382 (again). So, if I were you, I'd wait for updates for the 389 (case shape) and 382 (bezel chamfer) and grab either the 569 or the 508. the 569 has a bit more character IMO. Or yes, get the 438, it's awesome on the wrist too. But it's not a sub. I'd go the 438 before the 508 to be honest, which could do with a pearl update too by the sound of it.

Norrie, thanks for your feedbacks. sorry to hear that the 382 never arrived.
My choice is narrowing down between 569 (being Super Rep) and 382 (for its character). As soon CNY will finish I will pull the trigger on one of the two.
It will be also interesting to see if they will use a Seagull movement for either 569 or 382.
Do you think that the 382 bezel will be update shortly?
The 438 since the bracelet is also ceramic looks a better option than the 508.

438 ceramic for me! You are missing a ceramic watch a wonderful material that is just stunning! Go for ceramic!
Also the blackened movement is super sexy

I keep asking Sead about the 382 bezel and ask to pass the message along to KW but nothing's happened yet. My guess is if KW doesn't do it next batch, they're not doing it. In which case, just buy it. If you plan to get both, get the 569 first.

I need your help.. Which Sub to add on my collection?


I currently have:
Pam111, Pam212, Pam372, Pam388, and my two vintage 6154 & 6152





I'm looking now to add a Sub to my collection and my choices are between:


389kw with seagull movement (I miss a titanium).
382kw v3 since Bronzo is Bronzo.
508kw (I miss a ceramic)..however in the future I could fill this gap with a 438, now that they fix the hour hands.
569kw (I miss a destro).



What will be your choice?

Is that a 514 second from last on the left??
