Icon12 New to Panerai

I am getting Panerai bug.
I currently have one Panerai which is PAM48-40mm. But I am looking for a one w/ more vintage feel to it. 002A o B w/T dial, new 372,127,232,are the ones I am interested.
I would appreciate your advice on those pieces about pros and cons ,also any other models that you would recommend .
I love 021, and 30-50's originals but I cannot afford it. Thank you.

Try to get one of the new Boutique Editions......can't get much more vintage looking than those Dirty Dial, worn looking leather strap, "pig" logo........it just scream vintage!!!!!! If you are lucky enough to get it straight from any of the Boutiques $5,100......that should fit your budget

And oh, did you get OEM gold hands, or those ones off eBay? I've been meaning to get a pair, let me know if you can hook me up buddy. :)

I did a lot of research. PM pending on my source.

The hands are not OEM, but I actually like mine more as they are a little bigger. The lume is 100000% match. You can't tell the difference. c3 super.

My local watchmaker serviced and swapped out the hands for me. I don't want my case polished.
