Hi everyone

I recently i bought my first PAM, a 111 v3. I love it, has made me forget all my other watches (breit, longines, hamilton, seiko) includes some GENS.
Now, in the dark side, i need a next PAM.
Please, your recommendation are welcome. Looking for a totally different PAM that is appropriate for a small wrist (6.4 inch)

My candidates are:

PAM 183: Pretty same dial, but different case shape
PAM 243: Maybe a bit tick for my skinny wrist, but a small dial may help
PAM 390: Tobacco dial, gold hands. I think maybe it would be different enough to my 111
PAM luminor 1950: 312, 351, etc. Mmmm beauties but tick case and thin bezel maybe not work for my girly wrist :cheer:

I listen to their recommendations

Thanks in advance

Sorry my poor english

:RWI:

You cannot go wrong with the 390. The H-Factory version (older version) is gorgeous but the new Noob release (coming soon?) might be worth giving a shot and waiting for. It has a sausage dial (not the sandwich dial like the 111) which gives it a really elegant look (in my opinion).

The 390 is probably in my top 3 for next PAM purchase.

I wouldn't discount the larger pams because of wrist size. For example, the PAM 127 ("fiddy") is a pam with a ton of character and, while big, wears smaller then it's size because of its lower profile.

You could also take a look at one of the radiomirs...288, 388, etc.

Here's what I would look at.....

PAM 127
PAM 390
PAM 372
PAM 388
PAM 288


Good luck and please post reviews/pics of any watches you get for us all to see and marvel at!:cheers:

390 is the best choice within your option imo follow by KW312, there are currently 3 makers for 390, Noob, H and KW which I prefer Noob more than the other 2 makers.

Be careful if you get the 390.....I got one recently and my 111 seems to have been boxed indefinitely. I love my 390. I'd also take a look at the 388 or 505 (while its a 45mm case, it feels smaller than the 44mm luminor case on the wrist). Also take a look at the 000.

If you like a different watch go to PAM 388 or PAM 505 from KW
PAM 390 Noob is a very good choice too. AWESOME watch
Don't forget an impressive PAM 088 Noob, PAM 089 H maker or the magnificent PAM 253 chrono

243, 312, 351, 359 are good but they wear a lot for your wrist size. Maybe a bit latter when you get used to big watches

No Ale, soy chileno. Creo que me decantaré por un Radiomir en acero, aun los PVD no me llaman la atención. No se si la diferencia de grosor entre uno mecánico (183) vs automático (388) sea demasiada, creo además que el 388 está mejor acabado (olvidando el calibre imposible de imitar). Bueno probablemente a la postre caerá un Luminor 1950, un submersible, etc. Así es este vicio jajajaja


either 243 or 390

I love the look of 243 with a vintage leather straps, i like the brushed bezel and CG, but the tickness :arghh:

Bienvenido entonces.

PAM 388 is awesome, the difference of thickness is not great and you can enjoy the Radiomir cushion shape. The finish is impressive (one of the best ever seen) and the combination of colours in the dial is very smart and nice (slightly greenish lume and creamy inscriptions, very last Panerai look)
You will not get disappointed with this watch

+1000000

I followed Ale's advise and bought a kv 388 which I received just today...

The finish of the watch is superior to any noob one(!!!) and the watch screams "I am a gen"

You have to see it to understand what I mean..
Even the strap is great...

Thanks Ale..:):):)

If you already have PAM111 (Luminor case), why don't get the Radiomir case for the second one. 45mm Radiomir case wear smaller than the 44mm Luminor case.

I would definitely add a nice Radiomir to the collection, say a thin 380 or a bit thicker and more 'complicated' 288, both being super reps and whatnot ;)

H Factory 380N is a great watch and not expensive. The 029 is also an excellent choice.
