Hi guys, wondering everyone's thought on top Panerai models. Most Paneristis will say minimal dial and base models like the 111 but curious to what others think.

dnpina · 6 May 2019, 01:46 AM

I dont have one yet, but I would think PAM 233 should be on that list along with the 127. Great topic. I'm curious what others think.

From Vendome/Richemont, I would say the following 7:

000
111
127
232
233
360
372 (plexi)

If it “needs” to be 5:

111 (372 takes the “base” icon, so this is the Bettarini icon for me)
127 (Fiddy is king)
232 (pure Rad perfection)
233 (1st in-house, 8 days)
372 (base Luminor icon)

For before, I’ll leave that to the vintage guys.

I am no expert of Panerai, but I am always on the impression that bronze submersibles are very iconic

Close enough.

I’ll say also 217 as well.

I’d go with these

111
203
232
233
372

Though I’d mix the materials a bit to make it more interesting

292
368
372
375
382

ajas · 9 May 2019, 05:10 PM

I stick to models you can still obtain for reasonable price , but gives you all Panerai can offer

1. 000 - 44 mm
2. 233 -44 mm
3. 190 - 45 mm
4. 232 - 47 mm
5. 372 - 47 mm

YasserHaider · 11 May 2019, 03:30 PM

I own a 372 :D

brandrea · 11 May 2019, 11:22 PM

I too love the 233, will be biting bullet soon. It’s that linear PR indicator, everything works so well on the dial

The linear power indicator works well in balancing the ‘Luminor Panerai GMT’ text. I also agree that it would have been better in the back of the watch, but where it’s at right now isn’t all that bad.

Cryten · 20 May 2019, 06:21 AM

372 for the win, even though I don't like plexi or the lack of a power reserve.
