Hi Guys,

First time post here. I'm interested in getting a second hand PAM 183 black seal as my first panerai. What do you guys think about this watch? What do you think is a reasonable price for this watch?? Thanks for your input!

It's a great watch; however, I prefer the Luminor if it's going to be your only PAM. IMHO.

i thought about the 183 before i got my 111. i ended up with the 111 because:

(1) the wired lugs vs luminor's conventional lugs. i like the luminor's lugs better for (potentially) beeing stronger and easier to do strap change ,
(2) i like the crown lever better cause you do have to manual wind the watch every other day and the lever is easier to operate than screw down crown

i might think about a rad case later on to mix it up, but its gonna be a 190 (or the other one with the 8-day GMT manual wind with date)

i still think 183 is a great PAM, with the sandwich dial, display back, simple and reliable movement yet customized and decorated.

but that's just me. :-) its a great looking watch, you should get it if you like it. well, if one day i must have a rad and the bank account is not cooperatiing, then 183 will be my top choice, haha

Well..its all personal style if you like the Rad case or Lum case..

Rads tend to be a bit more dressy but with the right strap..it goes with jeans and shorts...

my first was a Lum and now I am itching for a Rad...

i prefer radiomir case because it is more elegant yet versatile. thanks guys :)

Reneo,

Please educate me, what is the difference between the I and G series?

Reneo · 19 May 2010, 07:57 PM

The Pam183G is the first serie from 2004 with the title
BLACKSEAL on the bottom of the dial. For Paneristi's this
G is more collectable

I'm with my Bintang Bro here...Go for 183G.

Alright. This is interesting. What do you guys a second hand 183G would cost?? I found some around $3600 - $3800.

mfer · 20 May 2010, 02:25 AM

The G would be more. If you don't care about collectability, get whatever you want. You a collector or a just a watch wearer/lover?

jappyjapz · 20 May 2010, 04:52 PM

i'm just a watch wearer, don't really collect it. Thanks for the advice guys.
