Advice for Pam newbie

[jack81]

Hi All Pam lover, I recently want to buy my first Pam, but with so may model ref I couldn't decide which to be my first Pam. I own several Rolex for my daily wear but always wanted a panerai.

I was wondering maybe one of you guys can maybe give me directions for my first Pam. I saw a photo of 352 which has A very nice gold hands. So how many Pam has a gold hands like 352? Maybe with bracelet and luminor case because I prefer it than rad case.

Thank you all

For a bracelet and gold hands you can't go wrong with the 352. The tobacco dial looks amazing as well. There are other bracelet models but if Im not wrong not with gold hands. The 352 is made out of titanium however which is lighter than stainless steel.

If you want a non-bracelet gold hands luminor there are many other options such as the 372,422,423,351,127,217,390 etc..

372 enablement.

[jack81]

wow what a stunning piece Stuart, but i think 372 is way to big for my tiny asian wrist. i'm looking for 44mm case as i think it'll suit me better.
huge congrats on the 372 btw

[jack81]

you gotta love that gold hands

[Glenn422]

Hey, I just noticed you're an Indonesian as well :) Greetings fellow Indonesian from Perth

Some people do say that 47mm seems big but it actually sits on the wrist very well. I remember someone able to pull off the 372 with 6" wrist..I forgot where but I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere...

[jack81]

Wow greetings Glenn, i used to study in perth 10 or so years a go, i still have my brother n my nephews living near garden city mall.
i wish to visit australia again someday maybe when the AUD dollar weaker

Well i havent really understand the brand panerai yet, but it def growing on me, i just got back from singapore n try the 328 at panerai boutique in ion orchard, well its nice but felt very heavy on my wrist, being used to my exp2 weight. i like the new bracelet design compare to the old style. maybe i should just get the strap model.

I did some reading on the forum n see 351 with tobacco dial gold hands n sandwich dial which i think is awesome. thats why i'm making this thread because PAM is something so confusing for newbie like me with so many ref model. Thanks for your input, I need to look for those ref number you gave me n do some homework.

Hey I live near garden city as well! Is your brother studying at Curtin / UWA?

My brother have the 351 I wish I could take some pics of it for you but he left it in Indonesia..

My older brother with his sons who live in perth at the moment. i believe my neplhew is taking college at tafe or something. maybe one day if i do come to perth could look you up Glenn

Here is my 372 on the bottom, and the 390 which is a 44mm on the wrist of another member here I happened to meet while out shopping.
Can you see much of a difference in size? I think they are pretty close.

[jack81]

wow that 390 looks very sharp and it has gold hands. i'm sorry but does it have a sandwich dial? because i couldnt really see it clearly. i did a search for the price for 390 and i came across this link http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=194705
does this price correct? thank you guys for great pictures, keep them coming

Don't forget the 359! Sandwich "dirty" dial and arabic numerals!

Sounds good

Love the 351, but personally I'd rather have a black dial than a tobacco dial for a 1st PAM.
