which one would you get?

[ikiestik]

I have a budget of £200 I would like to stay under this budget so I can buy an aftermarket strap, but not essential.


New 111J with rubber $218 + shipping
New 177L with rubber $218 + shipping
DSN 104 with rubber $280 inc shipping
DSN 164 with rubber $280 inc shipping

I really dont know which one to go for.

The lume issue with the 111 isnt a problem I can relume it, also crystal and ar are not as good as 177L.
The 177 has the mvt issue with no bevelling on the bridges and no dagger.
DSN 104 will have a blue ar which I'm not to keen on same with the 164. Lume should be good on both of these maybe a little inconsistent as its DSN sausage dial.

Any other suggestions are welcome but no daylight, rads.

pre-v, pre-a and subs are all ok as I prefer the simple look.

I like the combo of titanium & polished as well, so what about a DSN 165 ?

Is wait for the new 005 to see what it turns out like but who knows how long exactly an option? I probably wouldn't be able to wait either.

All nice.....probably 164 though.

I love the 104

 

[ikiestik]

Lots of 164 lovers here, I love all of them but only one gets to pleasure of being ordered by me this week.

I really wanted the 177 but I love auto watches as Im very forgetful and often forget to wind a manual.

I dont want to and cant justify spending more than £200 on a rep.

And DSN comes with 2 straps and free shipping and Iv wanted a DSN since I got into pam's.

111J all the way. It's the rep of the year if you ask me!

 

[ikiestik]

I saw a 104 last summer, obvious rep with short second hand and really blue ar while shopping, didnt like it much.
Then saw a gen 164 while at work last week made me want an auto pam and most of my watches are auto i just like the convenience of not having to handwind.
Might wait for the 005 but im not holding my breath if its like the 177 and 288 then I will buy it as they are both visually amazing front on

Im considering waiting for the 005 now. no idea when its going to be released im waiting to hear from a dealer when its coming hopefully soon.

Why do there have to be so many pams that are so similiar that are all awesome looking grrr damn you panerai lol

[ikiestik]

Decided! considering no dealer has the 177L with rubber Im going to wait for the 005 a better idea me thinks. closed cb so no cosmetic mvt issues, just hope they get the sausage dial right with c1+c3 and the correct logo tilt and font.

Hont has the 177L on rubber.
I just ordered one.

 

[ikiestik]

Sometimes it can take a couple of days for him to answer.
Write a new email and ask him.
Make sure you tell him that you want one if he has it.
I think the 177L on rubber cost $200 at Hont.
