I'm searching lately for a Panerai Titanium model, no chrono, with date, and if possible with that sexy back, with many little "PANERAI" engravings on the movement. I don't know its name, but it's impossible to not know it. Any suggestions? Tell me which PAMs have the specs I've mentioned...

None!
The 'sexy' back with many little 'panerai' engravings on the movement, like this:
Is a 6497 from the E to G series, and the 6497 has no date.
You could try to find a 177g but I beleive you won't.
You would have to find an 177h and switch movement and put an engraved one in it. (Careful, there're 2 kinds, really engraved and glued on plate)
On the other hand, if you're looking for a ti case with date, all the other model like the 240 (chocolate dial) will have a close case back.

I see... 
I asked DSN, and he told me that he has a PAM 240 with 7750 movement, but its too expensive, taking into account two facts: it has a closed caseback and no one won't be able to see the movement, and second, the 7750 movement does really worth when it's in a chrono watch, but this is not the case. So, anywhere else where can I find a 240 with other movement than the expensive 7750?
My second question: the 6497 movement, is a hand-wind or automatic mvt, or it can be found in both versions?
My third question: the 177G does have a date window? I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong...

No! How much is he selling his 240? What is you budget?
Only hand-wind...
No date, it has a 6497 and 6497 has no date...
He is selling it with 320$, and my budget for such kind of watch is not more than 230-240$...

at same price!
But I'm sure you can ask any dealers any of those 2 watches and they'll have it for you.

Pfff...I still can't decide which looks better for a PAM - the titanium case or the regular steel case... Some people say about titanium that it looks like plastic, and have a cheap look, on the other hand, the scratches on steel, are more obvious than those on titanium, I think...
So, what do you think, guys?

Titanium scratches way more easily. I know, I have several watches with Titanium casings.
However, the look is damn cool and it is light. I just love that.
