What are the most popular PAM models in order?

[pedalpower]

I know ALE has said that the PAM 111 is the most popular Panerai rep, but what are the other leading ones (in rank order)?

Read some of ALE's threads and find the best model under your criteria.
Some models will be better for you, some better for me.
Find the size that suits you better, search for model you like more.... read the forum & use the search option.

I assume you are JUST talking about the MOST POPULAR not the best replicas of nicest watches

IMO:
PAM 127-390-005-000-292-243-380-104-029

But it would be better to open a Poll with 20 models, with free number of models to vote, and you will get the solution very soon since ypu are talking just about popularity

I suggest you the models for the Poll as follows:

PAM 390
PAM Boutique
PAM 111
PAM 000
PAM 029
PAM 177
PAM 005
PAM 104
PAM 299
PAM 312
PAM 127
PAM 217
PAM 088
PAM 243
PAM 382
PAM 288
PAM 388
PAM 380
PAM 292
PAM 448

Please other members add or delete models and you will get the final list to make the Poll
Poll will allow only 20 models

Good luck
ALE

Sead told me a few months back it was 359 followed by 312 and 351. But it'll chop and change depending on what's released when. It's not just the vocal forum members buying. There are a sh!t tonne of silent members buying watches too. So hard to poll.

 

[rhaykal]

I'd also go through the thread of daily worn PAM /strap combo. You'll notice a trend of what watches pop up the most. (ie. 111,312,390,127,359)

 

[Frikman]

Surely the 346 deserves a spot in that list?
It is a firm crowd favourite for good reason!

I would include it. 346 is one of my favorites. Plus the 183, but I know that is not a crowd favorite over the 380 (I prefer the 183 myself over the 380).

 

[ALE7575]

We are not talking about YOUR preferences but the MOST PEOPLE preferences

Of course, I like a lot PAM 346 but it is not POPULAR. The same with PAM 183, people prefer usually PAM 380

I have never been sure why the 346 is not one of the better sellers. I am guessing with the tobacco dial, the luminor case must sell better (351)?

Tobacco and Titanium is not easy to understand for many people. PAM 351 is the same
Both are between my preferred PAMs but I think people don't think the same in general

[ozon1969]

huh? not the 389 or the latest versions of the 508 or the 441....?

 

[evilpenguin]

I think in general, the pam111 is the most common thing I see (at least on instagram). I'm sure it's no coincidence that there's a super rep version of it.

 

[pedalpower]

Yeah, it looks like the 111 is the winner, although I wouldn't wear it. Which is the super rep version of the 111? The V3 Noob or something else?

I totally agree with the appeal of the 380 (one of my top two), but I don't see that one often in the 'what PAM have you chosen today?'

 

[MiguelS]

I like the PAM 380 too, but maybe people overlook it cause the gen is/was pretty much the base model Panerai.

IMO this is not the reason

PAM 380 is a good "OLD" rep, maybe surpassed by the more gen-like "NEW" generation reps

The flaw PANER_ AI inscription is too much known
Rep sausage dials are less accurate than sandwich ones

 

[MiguelS]

Yeh agree with the flaws and also the crown tube length.

I guess you're right about the newer and better reps ones available now. Is it from like 2011?

All this Panerai talk makes me want to buy another one

Hi guys, ALE made a really interesting point about getting the most popular PAM's via the wristshot thread, so i downloaded the entire thread and then ran some regular expressions on it. Now I'm sure that the results are somewhat skewed due to repeats on replies, some of the models not getting counted correctly, etc, but it should be reasonably accurate.

10. 346 -> 71
9. 388 -> 74
8. 312 -> 82
7. 389 -> 86
6. 382 -> 101
5. 005 -> 110
4. 390 -> 153
3. 243 -> 198
2. 372 -> 212
1. 111 -> 266

I am quite new to the Panerai's so this data may be quite flawed, in case someone wants to help me with a better extraction / collation, let me know and i don't mind trying this again.

 

[dan89]

no poll for these?

I would say that's a pretty accurate list, since most of those are super reps. Nice job!

Ah that makes sense, probably explains why there are so many sellers selling reps of these models everywhere.

I'd add the 372 as I've seen it a lot on this forum. A beautiful piece, just too big for my tiny wrist.
