I'm thinking of buying my first Panerai and i am hesitating between 3: 390 H factory v3; 164 or 299 or Noob Noob and. It is that all three are Super replicas but in vuesta opinion, what is more similar to the gen?


Thanks!

Can't go wrong here, i have the 299 and 390 both are awesome in their own ways. I went with a 359 imho more elegant than the 164, so many awesome Pams that are repped so well...why get just one?

Oh that looks great! I'm currently trying to decide on 2 things myself: 1. to get a manual winding marina or an automatic one, and 2. to get a strap version or a bracelet version.

My theory so far: buying a bracelet version means I can just purchase various straps latet, bit that is assuming the bracelet is any good.

Decisions decisions...

I love Pam only with strap.

Isn't pam 111 a better option?

Unfortunately I just write the dealer and told me not to have the watch in stock. I'll have to look for alternatives.

The pam 299 is the only I wear on a bracelet and it's one of the most comfortable ones out there. A leather strap is always easy to find but try finding a bracelet once you bought one with a strap :whistling:

I'm also looking for my first Pam. Can someone school me on the movements? It seems so overwhelming just to pick a Pam let alone the movements too! Is one movement more reliable than the other? Would like one with a PR. Any help is appreciated!

Edit; I am interested in the Pam510 8 days

Thanks.

My thoughts exactly.

Go with the PAM328 on SS bracelet. Add straps later but you'll have the bracelet to dress it up.

Three watches with differing features.

PAM390 - Manual, leather
PAM299 - Auto, bracelet
PAM164 - Auto, leather

Pick the feature that interests you. It would go a long way in helping you make a decision.
