answer these questions....
do you need a date on your watch?
do you want a historic or contemporary pam?
do you want an auto or manual?
do you thinK white wont bore you after a week?
and finally, do you need to be concerned w/ resale to either trade up or bailout?

I think 104.... I like the 113 but, it is lower priority. 005 is well though of because of logo. Out of these 3.... 104 for me...

Good Luck - jump in - You won't regret it.

For every day ease of use 104. But I like the 005 better. I just depends on what you have and what you will be getting.

this will be the first PAM. the rests are Rolex: Y series DJ, F series bluesy, M series GMT II and M LV. and SMP for daily.

i agree with you guys. i like the 005 best but it's hard to get. 104 is readily available now. so maybe i jump that one.

Since you already have all those auto/dates, I'd really get the 005. Something very nice about the manuals and lack of date. The heart of Panerai.

The 104 is a favorite but it all boils down to which speaks to you. Best of luck and keep us posted.

I own and love the 104 so my vote goes there but for simplicity and price point the 000 is a great buy too. Check it out...Simplicity at its finest...no date, manual wind and the LOGO...

My vote is for the 111, which has the display back. However, the 005 with the logo is very cool. Can't go wrong with either. I would choose either one before the 104 but I still like that one.

I just picked up my first Panerai - a 024H in mint condition and I love it. My next PAM, years from now, will be a 111 or 112.

Among the 3,I would have chosen 005.Availability is indeed a factor in getting a Pam.Usually it's what you really want which is not available
