Searching after the perfect Panerai Model (to me)

[iSoft]

Hi guys,

I did search for 2 weeks now but can't find any PAM that is perfect to my eyes.
To let you know what i'm looking for :

- 47mm
- Three lines writing (like Luminor-Marina / Panerai) or else
- Tan lettering (no greenish Luminous as on the Fiddy)
- No complications at all (no seconds, etc...)
- Steel case
- I 'm not really into the vintage "Fiddy style" (i'll get haters on this)

Actually it would be a PAM372 but with a third line down (cause i find it unbalanced when hands are above 9:15 on the 372), or a PAM 422 but without the seconds...
The only one that has everything is the PAM605, but i'm not really sure about the grey Dial :/

Do you know a model that fits all my "needs" and that i don"t know or haven't found online ??

Thanks for your help !

No.
I actually lost the will to live when you said.....
(cause i find it unbalanced when hands are above 9:15 ......)

There are no 3 liners without small sec.
Maybe a custom dial made by one of the dial experts here on RWI but that will be not historically correct!
So forget the 3 liners without small sec! :bye2:

Haha, each has is own tastes

Ok, thanks PAM_BOY, i'll so have to decide between the 372, 422 and 605.
Tough choice, i don"t know which i want on my wrist !

Or a PAM217 :matty:

Haha, no, no left handed for me and the Fiddy style is not what i prefer

 

[PAM_BOY]

Ok if you like the sunburst dial a PAM605
And as far i know the KW 605 version did not come with any sunburst at all, but that will be not correct to the gen.

Btw destros a very nice to wear because the crown guard does not press in your wrist (if you wear it on the left hand side) :bigwink:

Thanks, but i prefer authentic

Ok, so it's between the 372 and the 422 !
As i'm a newbie, i don"t really know how to proceed with the TD, are there any recommandations or specialists in those models ?
As lots don't have websites neither stocklist, should i send them all a message to see if they have those ?

Sorry for those questions that certainly are dumb to you, but really don"t know how to proceed and looking for advices

you will have to scour the m2m I think for a good one.

I wear all my right handed watches on my left hand because of the crown digging in. Plus it was a patrol habit from my army days.

I prefer having something authentic, so i'll deal with it and still be very happy

you need to do some research then, the Noob 372 was the most accurate in terms of case and dial etc but has long been out of production, hence me saying watching the m2m for somebody selling one.

Oh, sorry i thought m2m was for "made to measure" like for Gibson Guitars, meaning that i should order a custom one to a builder !
What means "m2m" so ? (i'm from Belgium, french speaking so don"t know lot of those abbreviations !
I understand that i should check the second hand market but M2M is mystery to me

Thanks for the tip, but I prefer having something "authentic" than on measure
