What is the best panerai right out of the box with no mods?

I would have to say its a tie between DSNs' Ultimate 111h, and Ultimate 127 (1950). I have them both, and they are both always on a beautiful Savage strap. Showed the 111h to a Paneresti just tonight, and it blew him away. I had to tell him it was a rep. I took it off and gave it to him for his inspection. He just commented on what a nice choice I had made, and how good looking and soft the strap was. I came clean with the fact that it was a rep. His only comment was, "you know, I thought the AR was a bit different for an H model". :lol:

Take a look at DSN's offerings. His new 10D looks fantastic.

Have to agree with Domega.....Can't go wrong with either one of the above.

I think one of my next is going to be a DSN 111h. I have spent an awful lot of time researching this and this has been the conclusion I have come to.

Pam061 seems to be damn accurate out of the box also.
The dead on closed case back hides the movement... :wink:

Agreed with the 061 suggestion. It is REALLY close and that caseback is fantastic.

It would need a relume, though. Having said that, DSN's 040 would also be really accurate if it was sent off to vac for a nice "aged tritium look" relume. DSN's lume is too yellow and not glossy enough. That might be my next "project", actually.

I'll add one more to the mix and recommend Angus' ultimate 111E very nice aside from perhaps a relume.
