Which Panerai?
I need a little help from the experts. I have had a few PAMs in the past and I find myself wanting to buy another. My favorite was my 372. And while I may just buy another I thought it would be better if I found something a little different. I really like the 368 but the price is a little to much at this time.
Here is what I'm looking for. 44 - 47mm Handwind Plexi crystal if possible or at least a domed crystal Plain dial, 3 -6 -9 I really like the case of the 372 do they make the same case in a smaller size? Thanks for your help JC |

I like the 372 but prefer the 422 or 423 as an alternative. I like the second hand. You can look for a classic like the 233 which has a domed crystal and is beloved, for good reason, by collectors. So many options.

587 would be a good choice if you can live without a crown guard.

With the criteria you are looking for, the 233 for sure.

For domed and some additional functionality, the 233. For the simple, clean look, the 372.

372/422/423 have a unique case, slightly different. If that’s what you like best, a base 372 with plexi is hard to beat.

What is different about the case? The 557 looks the same as the 372. Please show me.

Can’t go wrong with the 233. That’s what ticked all the boxes in my case, until I came across the 335, which is pretty much has the same functions as the 233 but with a 10 day power reserve and automatic movement.

390 is 44mm With a Luminor case that people often compare to a 372.

You could also consider a 213 or 212 with domed crystal and 1950 case.

I always suggest a wire lug radiomir. The case wears better than the luminor case (especially at 47mm).
The obvious choice for you is the 720 or 721. Or you can begin a never ending search for one of the 49 294s produced: Good luck!
