coolfreddy 0 Posted March 28, 2011 So I was at work today and saw a guy with a Panerai. I love the way it looked and it got me thinking...Hmmm.. I dont have one and maybe I should get one. The problem is I dont know a single thing about Panerai's. Im an expert on Cartier, Rolex, and Chanel, but haven't got a single clue on what type of Panerai I would prefer. Please help me I need some guidance on my first Panerai. I want it to have the following: Leather strap Preferably gold casing NO CHRONO!!! Simple design Simple bezel and one that is automatic and keeps time good. Thanks B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 996 Posted March 28, 2011 Not that many gold Pams to chose from mate, I'll leave this one to the Panerai experts. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balad1 0 Posted March 28, 2011 You might consider buying a few of the more reasonably priced Pam reps and get a feel for what you like. I would recommend Robert at PWC. http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=6194 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted March 28, 2011 coolfreddy: not a lot of gold PAMs around - possibly one of the 45mm Radiomirs might suit you, though. This is an example: http://www.timeshops.net/product.php?id_product=1607 bradweesner: I'd just leave it alone for now if I were you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple design Simple bezel and one that is automatic and keeps time good. Thanks From the list of watches you are "expert" on, in particular Cartier and Chanel and to some extend the Rolex President, I assume that you like what is pejoratively known in the watch community as "jewelry watches." If that's the case I suspect that the Panarai may not suit your taste at all. These watches tend to have Spartan design and construction. There are few gold models with the genuine PAM and fewer still among the rep PAM--as a matter of fact, I cannot remember any real gold Panarai rep. I have a gold plated Radiomir but it looks more like copper! I think someone said it best: you ought to get a relatively inexpensive rep and see if you like it first.
