Which PAM is 44mm, Auto, no-date-window & painted dial

I'm looking for my next PAM but I want a painted dial (not sandwich), the regular 44mm case and automatic. Date would be nice but I hate the internal cyclops that PAM use on some models.

Which model is this? (don't care if it new or old)

Thanks!

Patrick

none :p

if you simply hate the cyclops, you can consider 312, 320, 270. those are 44mm 1950 case with in-house automovement, with date, but no cyclops

@snog: nope, the Panerai site isn't very well designed IMO

#2: already been there but the site doesn't have the model that I'm looking for so I asked here to see if someone with a deeper knowledge about PAM might give me some pointers.

@stockae92: I'm actually leaning towards the 351 but again, that is not a painted dial.

I think this is possible.

But a 104. Take it to a good watchmaker. Have him/her remove the movement/dial and then use acetone/light heat to remove the cyclops.

I thought this would be awesome on a 268.

You could also try and source a crystal without a cyclops.

I know 111G is not an automatic, but it has a painted dial and engraved movement. Its a lovely watch IMHO if you can find one.

111G is a nice watch, doesn't seem impossible to find for around $4K. No auto though...

If I don't go auto I really like some of the new smaller pieces, like the PAM 338 - I could use a classy piece like that.
