Rolex Guy Panerai Curious. . .
 
I've had Subs, SDs, Explorers and other Rolexes. Now I am curious about Panerai. Can you recommend a solid first Panerai for me?

I am not into chronographs. I like a classically simple look with a matte dial best. I would prefer somewhat of an iconic model.

Thanks.

go for 390, it's nice

if you want one more affordable, 000 or 005 are sure good choices

best

From a Rolex guy... I also do like the simple dials on these beautiful Pammies!

They re too big for me.

At least get the sandwich dial on the 005. Or the sandwich dial and display back on the 112.

Simple is good! So many good choices. Take your time and look around a bit.

rolex and panerai should be together in any collection.
as for first panerai, clean dial is the way to go. 000,111,112,005 are some refs for entry-level PAMs..
happy hunting.

A stunning collection of Panerai simplicity. Not to mention the quality of the shot itself.

Thanks mik for keeping the ABP away ;-)

cheers

I just picked up a 183 Radiomir and very happy. Simple and classy.

005 or 111 is best for a first entry level pam

kilyung 19 August 2012 01:09 AM

111, 005 for me.

Psmith 19 August 2012 02:12 AM

Another vote for the 111 or 005

Be aware that these models do not hack

If you are a fan of dive watches I can't praise the 243 enough

Moved from a sub serti to a pam 111 and now a pam 351. Don't regret it, a 111 is the best entry level pam IMO.

seattle1978 19 August 2012 05:04 AM

I would recommend 233 as a first Pam

HDHNTER 19 August 2012 05:34 AM

The 111 would make an outstanding first PAM.
