Anything equivalent to PAM104 with an exhibition case-back?

I don't know how to make heads or tails of all the Panerai models versus the simple Rolex model number setup, so after fruitlessly searching for this answer I realized I should have started here to begin with.

I like the PAM104 because I am in the RARE minority who appreciates and enjoys the cyclops and the little seconds sub-dial too. However, is there anything equivalent to the 104 in price and appearance that has an exhibition case-back? Current or discontinued does not matter, but I do prefer automatic. Also, I seem to recall that you can purchase a Panerai exhibition case-back separately too... is this still the "case"?

Thanks,
Ian.

Hi Ian - the 312 is an auto with a display back and a date (but no cyclops). Apart from the other current Manifattura models, the only Luminor auto with a display back that I can think of (off the top of my head) is the 121, but it is a chrono, has no cyclops, is discontinued and very rare...

I doubt that a display back from a handwind model would fit an auto, due to the taller movement in the autos.

Cheers

Check out the 111. There's no date and it's manual wind, however.
