[Need Help] Want to buy Panerai watch

[watchnewb93]

Hi guys,

I am new to the rep watch world and too young to afford gen watches. I have recently fell in love with Panerai watches. Below are links to four models that I am interested in. I would appreciate if anyone could give me an honest opinion on quality and any advice what to look out for. Also, is it safe to buy from intime01 or should I message a TD? Thanks in advance!

I've purchased from Intime before -- all our trusted TDs are safe to order from though.

I would do a little more research on here, and about Pams in general, before purchasing. It seems like that might be better than anything any of us can recommend in this thread. Ale has a wonderful guide that is stickied here, and there are tons of other places to learn about the features of each model in gen.

I would recommend the Pam111, just because I love mine. It's the only modern Pam I have.

Ryan at InTime is great, so you shouldn't have any problems there -- just be aware that its the Chinese New Year and you may have to wait 3-4 weeks for a response. My advice would be to use that downtime in order to read through the PAM Section, ALE's PAM Guide and figure out where you want to be. Even going through the 'What PAM are you wearing today?' thread can help give you some ideas of what you like. Happy Hunting!

First watch, it's relatively new so you won't read any reviews on it. But basing on the feedback on its brethren the PAM1312 and PAM1359, replication seems pretty good. Just make sure it's the new case (thickness is 15.8mm not 18mm and lugs are long not short).

PAM563, read the reviews on this section. Main issue is the 8 days movement

PAM111 V4, well it's excellent if you can get it as availability and consistency in parts is its main "flaw". You can read about this issue in this section as well.

PAM366 DLC, it's what you would call a bespoke (customized) PAM as the original is stainless steel. Even gen owners have their PAMs DLCed so this isn't outside the realm of possibility.

Spend the downtime to read the PAM bible. It's a must read.

By the way, Ryan (Intime) is a TD here as well.
