im starting to get interested in Panerai watches..

my question is:

1. whats the best starter Panerai..( price wise)

thanks in advance.

cavalomendez · 5 March 2015, 07:07 PM

tough and water resistant

My first real watch was a steel GMT-Master II (ceramic) and I did not like the Panerai look at all. But your taste changes over time, and so suddenly... I fell in love and decided to buy one!

My first Panerai was the PAM183, and I quite like it! Plain and simple, and look good on all kinds of straps.

I bought it "pre-loved" for $4,500.

111 unless you particularly want an automatic

Sam Philip · 5 March 2015, 09:01 PM

000 or 005 will be a good starter. However my first PAM was a 424

If you want auto, then 312 (which is in-house = more expensive) - or maybe the 104 (Eta movement) - but has date with inverted cyclops.

overthehill · 6 March 2015, 02:17 PM

budget is around 6k.

overthehill · 6 March 2015, 02:23 PM

kindly post pics of panerai that you recommend..

nick c · 6 March 2015, 11:06 PM

I vote for the 000

s802487 · 7 March 2015, 09:44 PM

My vote would be the 005 or 177.good pieces to start with and long enough to hold on to

I was looking at 000,005,111,112 177 and other recommendations. All of them looks good. I guess It will now come down to the price.. I'm planning to buy from a trusted seller here..

arizonaboy · 7 March 2015, 11:39 PM

Looking at your list, I would go for the 111. Sandwich dial, sub seconds, polished case, simple, elegant and reasonably priced.

Any of these can be your first....and last. I landed on a 111 after exploring many references.

thanks!

I wanted an automatic with an uncluttered dial and date. The winner was a 312. It has good resale potential if it comes to that. Check it out.
