Hey Guys am looking to buy my first Panerai...

But I want a Radiomir (I like the classic look) GMT function as I travel a lot,
I do like the clean look Panerai dial with the 3, 6, 9 on the dial and preferably the sandwich dial..

not sure what the options I have... there is the 200, 235, 242, 284 etc.. which would you recommend? I love the look of the 200 or 235 but I understand they come in white gold, and I feel that looks like steel so not worth the money. And I dont want rose gold as its too bling for me... any help?

Unfortunately the single crown rads were not offered in a steel case with the GMT function. One of the 242 owners may respond or just use the search function for 242.

My favourite Panerai by a Country Mile is the one that you have pictured top left....the Pam 98.
Of the others they are all nice looking watches, but I would go for the 184. This is almost the same as the 242, but the internal bezel is slightly nicer.
Both of my favourites are 42mm and have the double crown.
Have you tried any of these beauties on yet ?

I'm dying to have the 98 as well. It is a 42mm which is just the perfect size for me, as I think the 45mm would be too big.

By far, my favourite is the 98.

allill · 10 September 2008, 12:09 PM

+1 for the 98. I love the look and the alarm is a plus.

hmmm was just about to put my 98 up for sale or trade and this thread is really making me think twice!!!!

Can you tell me the alarm sound? Tit-tit-tit or else?

Hi TR

It's a buzzing that lasts for about 10 seconds.

My Vote the 098 , just as i bought one and i just cant stop looking at the damn thing...

242

since it s your first, some things to consider is that a 45 mm is a bit large for some people. if ur a desk jockey and were collar long sleeve shirts daily, you may have issues the the fitting of the cuffs and the watch. im a GMT guy.....and vote for the 10 day!
