Get the 111 just ask Mike, TR, Mik, or myself...but we are a little biased.
Seriously though, try a bunch on and get the one that sings to you! |

I suggest trying on as many different cases (rad, lum, sub) and sizes (40,42,44,45,47) as you can. Once set on the case and size, you can do some research to find you perfect one!

But for the first, Luminor 44 mm is very perfect size.

i like the rad 287. to me it feels smaller on the wrist, is a auto and has a date.

When I decided on a Panerai I insisted on 3 things, sandwich dial, swan neck crown and a mini seconds hand. I'm glad I went with the PAM 111 and am enjoying all three options. I could of lived without the mini seconds hands, it's beautiful but without it, I would of enjoyed the sandwich dial a teeny bit more. :)
I highly recommend getting the 111. |

104 gets my vote. I don't have one, but It's on my list.

I just made my first Pam a 111, I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow morning. I paid for next day air so it should but I never got a tracking number from the seller so hopefully they got it out today and just forgot to send me the info.

depending on what you needed for your daily beater..for me i would want date,sub dial second (so i know the watch is ticking) and power reserve indicator.And yes pam90 is the perfect choice!

Got my 111 yesterday, its a K series and I love it! Wore it all day yesterday and again today, I think the Sub and the SMP are getting jealous. I said I would post some pictures so here are a few.
Now I'm off strap hunting, I'm not sure what to get first but I think Croc might be in order.

I had the 111 too and loved it, I reccomend that. Granted I sold it to fund my AP ROO purchase, but I am thinking that a 233 might be in my near future....

112 if you want base 104 if you want painted and date or287 torad or 183 radiomir sandwich to the first i'll go with some sandwich (111 112 183).
