PAM 243, 24 or 25.... Which one and why?

[deepcdvr]

I've had all three - the 025 was my favorite. I like Ti on big watches and the 243 was a bit plain to me, the 025 had character

The 243 was a little large on my wrist. The 25 with a little mileage on it gets some marks and TI is not easily polishable so the 24 was purchased and I'm still in love!

I've owned the 243, 24 and am pretty familiar with the 25. Of those three I'd absolutely say 243. It's a gorgeous watch, and the details are wonderful on it.

The 24 and 25 are to me non-starters. I owned the 24 for one day and sold it. I know people love them, and no offense to owners but for me the 24 and 25 feel like a standard Luminor (think 112 or something) with a funny bezel, they don't really IMO have their own personality so to speak. The 243 is all personality.

The one drawback to the 243 is that it's pretty tall. Honestly I prefer the 305 over the 243 now because the 305 carries its size better, being Ti and also 47mm so it's flatter. The 243 is indeed a tall, heavy watch. But it's super cool, I wish I still had mine tbh.

I agree on the 305- it's big, but it wears great...

25 is nice but I hope to own 243 one day.

I tried a PAM on for the first time yesterday. I was considering buying one in the past, but I was told they are kind of bulky and uncomfortable, so I slowed my roll.
I was surprised to find the I liked it so much after I put it on.
So I am back in the boat with you, trying to figure out which one it will be?

Get the Breitling model.

243 is the coolest of the three, but is thick and bulky, and harder to roll with as a daily wearer IMO.

Total one trick pony, but it's an awesome trick.

Had all 3. There is a steeeeep rise in quality from the 24 to the 243. More $ too.

243, tough to wear as a daily due to its size; but undisputed best of the bunch. Miss mine.
