One PAM to rule them all...

[Teris]

There are so many beautiful PAMs and I'm curious about your take on this: If you could have just one PAM rep, what would it be? (Please assume for the sake of this question that the rep will last a lifetime, so don't feel obligated to give extra consideration to models that have more robust movements.)

good question

111 no wait 005 er i mean 390 or maybe the 113 or the 243 or 312..

jeez honestly probably 111

 

[erekose]

111.
Luminor case
Sandwich dial
Small seconds
Display back
Handwind

All are quintessential Panerai elements IMO.

I agree.....except 112. Don't like small seconds.......

Depends all on what you like, imho go with the 243 or 364 if you like big junkie watches. Otherwise the 111 will be a perfect joice.

What do you mean by "junkie"?

 

[PAMaholic]

Big bad ass watches

I thought for sure I'd say the 111 but I'm gonna go with the 243.

Pam 312 for me with reasons being:
-Sandwich dial (amazing lume!)
-1950s LM case with beautiful CG
-Small seconds
-Exhibition caseback
-Quick release strap change
-Brush and polish case

Proud to say it was my first Pam purchase that originally all got me into Pams

[Cheesemonger]

Tough choice, but right now I would have to say the 346.

 

[pm-guy]

Too many to choose, but for me 372

I could not go on without my Bronzo....... ;-)

Hard to say JUST one model

Better inform about your taste or ideas to make a choice

Size, case, colour , material, Sub, sporty, dressy...

Thanks, Ale. I know which ones I love, but I'm not sure which I'd go with if I could only pick one. I'm curious about other peoples' thoughts about choosing one. It's definitely a VERY hard choice!

 

[Teris]

How about guys like ALE? Kilowattore? I suspect there would be a lot of PAM 111 answers.

 

[ALE7575]

PAM 111 is the most popular PAM rep
But it is not the most accurate of them
IMO it is even boring due to its diffusion and popularity. Indeed I gave away my PAM 111 to a friend almost two years ago and I have not bought another so far.
Due to that I don't recommend this watch, but I admit it is a very good choice

ALE, thanks for the insight on the 111. Which would you say is the most accurate rep? And you still didn't answer the original question!
