That is what I said, then I got the 372.
Shop around and see what looks good on your wrist.
Cheers!

so many to choose from, but you gotta try them on, 000, 005, 111, 112, 176, 177 to give you some examples.

372 is a well over $5k --but worth every penny. I've been eyeing PAMs for years and the 372 is the model that convinced me to finally buy.

Enjoy the search!
In that price range, I like the 111. 000 and 005 as well.

I would strongly recommend a 000. It's evergreen and versatile. And I think you can get a pre-own one at less than 5k.

Enjoy your hunt and post some pics once you net it!

I" was looking at a 000 and 005 when I was shopping, found a 005 and love it, overall I like the 005 over the 000 due to the seconds hand.

I went through this same decision a few months ago when I bought my first Pam. I ended up with the 183. First, you need to decide do you like the Radiomir or Luminor style. Once you make that decision do you want the complications of second hand, date? Do you ,like the open exhibition back, or is that not important to you. What size, do you like and what fits your wrist best 42-47mm? Once you have thought through these things, after looking at them and trying some on, your decision will be....probably more difficult because you will want several. Best of luck and make sure you share pics when you find and buy one.

It depend on which line you like (luminor or radiomer).

Lum,,,, 111, 112, 000 or 005
Rad.... 210, 287 or 380

Or try get the Dubai edition.

Good luck.
