Enzo - you are killing me. I wanted to stop buying for a while. I was quite conviced that I did not need a black seal. However at the prices Silix has how can I stop myself.

Very nice comparison Enzo. Thanks for putting in the work.

I am planning on buying the 183G from Silix at the end of the week.

I will probably get the 111H a little later.

How is the crystal (glass) on the 183? I know you said something about AR on the mineral, but I was wondering if you think the crystal upgrade would be a good idea.

Is their 183 45mm or 44mm?

Thanks for the review and photos.

Not afraid to mention price, as Silix posts them on their website. both the 111 and 183 are $110, which is a very good price. Made me leery at such a discount, what I would get? But at 'watch parts' prices, I wasn't too afraid and took the plunge.
Holy crap! At that price, even I'm tempted to get one.

Let's just say for a minute, I were to want to get a Palbundy, what one would be the best intro? Is the Marina the best starting point? I would be tempted by the Black Seal, but think if you're getting a PAL, you need the silly crown guard thingy. One thing, though: No hockey pucks. I'd need an Art Deco chubber with nice lettering. Oh, and no mention of Sly. That would just annoy the crap out of me.

The 111 would be a good start. 44mm and it has the well known panerai crown guard. Pretty accurate rep with a great movment.

The 183 is a little different and doesn't give you the same panerai feel. It is however a very nice watch. Small size difference, it is 45mm.

I showed my arbiter of style and taste (my girlfriend) this Palbundi article today, just to make sure I wasn't going watch-blind finally thinking they're nice or something.

Her comments "They're beautiful" and "Amazing typography".

Bugger, I'm going to have to work out when I can get one.

Enzo, I was thinking of a Black Seal, but I think I need one with that crown guard. There's no way on this planet I'll get both. Nope, can't do it.

Yep, you only need one and after that, you will never need/want to get another one. :twisted: Yea, right!

Panerai are addictive my friend. I am supprised most of the dealers don't give you the first one for free.

I just received the 111H from Andrew with the unitas. That makes 12 Pams. You think you're gonna stop at one???

Does anyone here just have one?

I only have a PAM 192....this week. I just placed an order for the 183 G from Silix and will be placing an order for the 111H in the next week or so. Then is is on to an automatic of some sort with the colaberation crystal upgrade.
