Panerai Help

Recommended Posts

coolfreddy

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)

Not that many gold Pams to chose from mate, I'll leave this one to the Panerai experts.

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...

Thanks :rofl:

 

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.
