Hi I know there is a thread with master knowledge of PAM stuff. I read it. Anyways looking for my first PAM. Dunno if I will buy it used or from TD. Don't care for 1:1 perfect noob H fac etc. my priorities are these
1: 44 mm with 11mm thickness? 11-13mm i'd say.
or 40-42mm with 13mm thickness. (6 inch wrists)
2: Strap to fit 6 inch wrists possibly :( or if not possible some recommendations for good custom straps.
3: I dont care if sandwich or sausage, but i dont want it to show date. I am conflicted between the lever mechanism or the pull out and wind. I dont care as long as it fits my wrists.

Can you fellow pam lovers just shout out a few model numbers, as recommendations? What are your favorites and whatnot. Thank you so much :thumbsup:

may i suggest u to check PAM112N ,PAM111 v3 ,PAM117
all of em same case same spec and no date showing,
111 and 177 got second hands
112 doesnt
:)

i got my latest PAM112N with my 6.5inch wrist on 2nd hole in my 115/75mm strap.
for 6inch wrist, i think the 1st hole on the strap will fit you with some room for the wrist to breath.

Well I am only just beginning to research on reps, so I can't give you advice as to which one to go for, but I CAN tell you my favourite gens by preference:

http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-col...56-chrono/55-luminor-chrono-daylight-pam00356

http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-col...1950-3-days-chrono-flyback-automatic-pam00524

http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-col...luminor-marina-1950-3-days-automatic-pam00359

http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-col...r-1950-3-days-gmt-automatic-ceramica-pam00441

http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-col...luminor-1950-tourbillon-gmt-ceramica-pam00396

http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-col...marina/20-luminor-marina-1950-3-days-pam00422

http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-col...21-luminor-1950-3-days-power-reserve-pam00423

http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-col...sible-1950-3-days-automatic-ceramica-pam00508


These are the ones on my list, but for some of these I expect it would be unrealistic to search for a good rep.

Also, as I understand, you are better off staying away from chronograph movements as they tend to be unrefined, not well tested and can compromise your entire movement if things go wrong.

Good luck in your search!

Dear murkness
I don't understand your question if you have already read the PAM GUIDE
You have there indicated all Super reps with all data.
You should be able to make some choices before a consult.
Please make some choices and start a more concrete new consult

The rep PAM190 chosen is no worth. Try to save money for a good Super rep. Don't spend money in low grade replicas
