As the title says, 000, 005 112 and 176 ???

I have a limited budget though. -"-

Thank you guys !!

TAKUYA · 31 May 2013, 10:10 AM

112 from that list.

nauticajoe · 31 May 2013, 10:11 AM

Try 'em on. See what makes you smile.

Happy Hunting!

rockmastermike · 31 May 2013, 10:13 AM

You will hear from supporters of each model listed.....my (biased) opinion is the 000.
1) I wanted one without a second hand
2) I wanted a painted dial
3) good timing on a good deal presented itself and never wished for any of the others* after it arrived

disclaimer: by other I mean a base model....I did own a Submersible after the 000.

Very happy with my 111 as Panerai #1.

Pansakorn · 31 May 2013, 10:50 AM

Thanks guys. I prefer 000 too but it seems to me that it's difficult to hunt !!!

porschejeff · 31 May 2013, 11:50 AM

I recently bought my first a 183. I wanted a second hand and really liking this piece.

mlotus95 · 31 May 2013, 02:12 PM

005 or 112

Andrés G · 31 May 2013, 02:17 PM

112

kilyung · 31 May 2013, 02:57 PM

How about a 372?

Cru Jones · 31 May 2013, 04:37 PM

Seems like you want a zero (good choice!). Contact a trusted TRF seller and you'll have one on your wrist in a couple of days. Post pix!

bcacncnc · 31 May 2013, 04:51 PM

I've got three PAMs in my stable now, but I think I will eventually flip them all and keep the 000. If you're on a budget, then that would be my 1st choice.

Glenn422 · 31 May 2013, 05:27 PM

Id say 112 :)

Perilo · 31 May 2013, 06:33 PM

112 or 111...either would put a smile on your face.

I finally go with 176 from the AD. Thank you guys.

(I personally like a light weight on my wrist but I'm quite sure that I will be hunting a stainless steel one soon.)

:)

canwatchco · 1 June 2013, 11:08 PM

Sandwich dial!!! Love 'em!

Sherwooddavid · 1 June 2013, 11:17 PM

I'm kind of in the same boat,would eventually like to add a Pam to my collection. Unfortunately we don't have a Panerai AD in this part of the country....does anyone know a good AD in Canada to deal with ?

I like the 321.

Agree,that's the way to do it !
I have to purchase a lot of my watches without actually seeing them as we don't have a lot of the major watch AD's in Nova Scotia.

wingku · 2 June 2013, 01:00 PM

I got a 112 as my first! Versatile for sure!

HRFdez · 2 June 2013, 01:06 PM

I would say go with a 112. Now you could go with a G series which was the last one series with the sausage painted dial, but with the new updated crown guard. Or you can go with later series with the sandwich dial.

I own the G series model. Only 1200 made compared to 2000 or 3000 on other series. Of course this number varies from model to model, I just like the lower model.

Also, the G series engine is just beautiful to look at, nice engravings compare to the newer 112.

Good luck!

Shrinkdial · 2 June 2013, 09:08 PM

Whichever you get you will be happy.
Just make sure it is retail or from a good seller

nick c · 2 June 2013, 09:50 PM

This one

Birch · 3 June 2013, 12:15 PM

Another vote for the Zero.

Urosfan · 3 June 2013, 12:20 PM

I say 111, but given your list ill say 112

emagni · 3 June 2013, 12:53 PM

Knowing nothing about you, I would say 000 ;-)

Pansakorn · 3 June 2013, 01:15 PM

Thank you for every suggestion :)

176 will be arriving on this Tuesday.

HillDweller · 4 June 2013, 06:41 AM

Good choice, enjoy!

eric23 · 4 June 2013, 10:53 AM
