I'm looking to get a new watch and this model really caught my eye. My main daily watch right now is a Rolex Submariner SS w date. As far as a Panerai goes, is this a good model to start out with? What else should I take a look at? What are you thoughts on the manual vs. automatic models?

thanks!

WELCOME To PANERAI Side...

111 is a GREAT choice, and I more choose for manual for Panerai.
Good luck!!!

I much prefer a manual wind to a automatic. Auto's are great but the joy of winding my watch makes me all warm and fizzy inside. It is fun to flip the watch over and look at the gears as you wind them up, you would love the 111. IMHO, true mechanical watches should be manual winds.

David,the PAM 111 is a great choice as a first PAM !!! Highly recommended !!!

Sandwich dial,classic ss polished Luminor case,Manual wind,crystal back .....and strap options by the dozens.

I am wearing mine right now on a Julien Landa Tan 2,with off-white stitch,GPF mod buckle
