Hi,

I have seen DSN offers mostly manual wind movements but i would prefer a auto movement.

the models i am interested in are:

PAM 111H
PAM 112
PAM 005
PAM 02a

can anyone recommend a dealer who does good quality replicas with reliable auto movements.

thanks

If you want a Panerai with an auto movement, then you'd do better looking at Panerai models where the gen is auto - the ones you mention above are all handwind - you will not find auto versions of these.

Currently my favourite auto PAM is my 233 (the watch in my avatar), which I picked up from T4D a month or two back for $149, but there are plenty of other auto models to choose from. Have a browse through the Panarai section here and have a look at some of the dealer websites - particularly watcheden's, as they have a wide selection - to see what's available in auto movements.

Get the luminor automatic, they are mostly 40mm.. the handwind movement is a classic for the models you mentioned above. They are very reliable movements, so not worries..

how often would the movements need to be wound to keep them going?

i do like the watches i listed :D

The power reserve on these handwind watches varies from 36 to 52 hours depending on your luck ( remember that they are replicas).

i think manual winding would be worth it for the watch i like best...

Good choice I have one of these but I removed the wordings as I wanted a homage.. pictures for you later...

I might decide to change in to a 176H by popping in a base dial :)

I currently have 3 handwind PAMs with that movement - they all average 2 days on a single wind.

They're gorgeous things - here's one of my favourites, my 111h:

There a few good auto options. Just try to get one with a solid caseback.
