Good Day All,

I have narrowed down my search for a new Paneria a bit; I am going to get a 44mm Luminor.

I already have this one; PAM 114

One of these 5

1. PAM 233 (a lot of cash but one nice watch).

2. PAM 177 0r 176 (Love the TI)

3. PAM 111 or 112 (I think a good sandwich dial would go with my 114 well)

4. PAM 024 or 025 (I do like the subs a lot).

5. PAM 088 (GMT would be nice).
(no photos of this one).

Thanks,

Eric

My vote goes to either the 233 or 112.

Good luck!

112 tq

dalip · 1 May 2012, 01:40 AM

233. No doubt.

psv · 1 May 2012, 01:51 AM

Well, do you really "need" one, Eric? :-)

Out of those, I'd go with the 233 or find an older Ti with painted dial.

Need for sure, that is what I told my wife.

Noonan · 1 May 2012, 01:53 AM

The 233 is the clear choice if you're willing/able to afford one. Otherwise, I'd go with the trusty 112.

BKKJake · 1 May 2012, 02:55 AM

Another vote for 233!

dddrees · 1 May 2012, 03:21 AM

Eric, I think you ought to take the Pam money and combine it with the AP money and get yourself a Patek.

I think I will need a lot more money to get the Patek

I talked with my AD and no sales on Patek

MortgageGuy · 1 May 2012, 03:51 AM

Out of what you have listed I would grab a 111, really have been wanting one of these myself again too

I am really thinking about a 112 or 176.

ghotihead2001 · 1 May 2012, 04:23 AM

I can vouch for the awesomeness of the 176

Hoppyjr · 1 May 2012, 04:28 AM

I'd go off the chart and say 114 & 312 (or 351 if you want Ti). The 312/351 is closer to the 24/25 in price - much less than 233 - and gives you the 1950 case and a different look.

I had a 351 before and I am not sure I would get a Panerai in house auto again. Love the look but it died on me in less then 2 weeks.

FNFZ4 · 1 May 2012, 06:40 AM

since you already have a 114... I guess my suggestion will be a 111 or 177... unless you want a date.

I am thinking about the 177.

It would go well with the straps I have.

I agree! If you already have a 114 in SS, then the 177 in Ti would make a great companion. I LOVE my 177 because it is so lightweight (108 grams with Micah strap). It looks great with most straps and the brushed finish looks great.

rulessapt · 1 May 2012, 08:54 AM

#177 is an awesome piece. Sandwich dial and lightweight. The Ti finish is prone to marking if you're like me, don't wear a suit and work with your hands.
Having said that not the ideal environment for most watches, but I do like them with patina!

I suppose ou could save on straps and not buy a Radiomir ;-)

cheers

watchdaddy1 · 1 May 2012, 09:24 AM

177 OR 176 Ti is soo nice

kilyung · 1 May 2012, 09:24 AM

233. Have you tried a 305?

Psmith · 1 May 2012, 09:30 AM

From your list, the 233

Hi Mike, yes tried the 305 but the 47mm does not work for me, just a bit too big.

B. Doggy · 1 May 2012, 11:14 AM

From your choices, I'd go 112.

I see you took my advice!

tomato · 1 May 2012, 12:07 PM

Would you consider letting your 114 go to fund a 233 so it doesn't eat into your AP fund as much?
