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.

Just Got a 112 today and love the sandwich dial and the simplicity of the dial!!
I was between 000 and a 005 but the ran into a great deal on the 112 so had to go for it.. And Ido not regret it at all its perfect to me... |
