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 |

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

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. |

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.

The 111 would make an outstanding first PAM.
