Shopping for the Panerai

Now I have been checking these out for A while they just look nice and have A younger look about them . That being said I like the Rolex Submariner and would like to get Panerai’s version if they have one ..The watch would be water tight and have the date with cyclops if possible what models have these options? I don’t dive but I do on occasion swim with the kids .

Have you tried any Panerais on your wrist? I'd recommend stopping by an AD and seeing if the 44mm size is ok first.

I could be wrong here, but the only PAM that has a rotating bezel and cyclops (ie. like the Rolex sub) that I know of is the Luminor Submersible range, ie. PAM00024, 25, 243.

Having said that, they dont come in a 40m like the sub, but in 44mm and that is quite a large-ish size.

Mike's right, you need to try them on for size 1st see what you think.

Panerai 104 has cyclops and whichever model you choose you cant go wrong with a pam, they have a new 42mm model also but dont know the no and they also come in 40 mm

Pam24 is probably the closest. It is a 44 mm watch, but wears very nicely for a large watch. As suggested, try it before you buy.

x2. They are discontinued if I'm not mistaken though. I think you could still find one at an AD...
