Icon20 Seeking Advice: Help Me Find My Ideal Panerai Luminor

Hello fellow watch enthusiasts,

A couple years ago I acquired my first Panerai, the PAM00320, and while I do enjoyed it, my appreciation for the brand has grown, and I find myself drawn to their base models. After some research, I've narrowed down the features I desire in my ideal Panerai, but unfortunately, it seems that Panerai doesn't offer exactly what I'm looking for. I have a wrist size of 18.5cm, therefore I prefer the 44mm case.

My ideal Panerai would include the following specifications:

Luminor 44mm case (either brushed steel or titanium)
Black sandwich dial with minimal print and no faux patina
300m water resistance

My favorite models are the PAM00673 and PAM372 but unfortunately they are not 44mm. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you could provide. Your suggestions will be invaluable in helping me find my next Panerai.

Thank you all in advance for your assistance!

It looks like you are in Texas. Call the Houston boutique and speak with David, the Panerai representative. I'm sure he can guide you accordingly.

If you don't have a problem buying used, have a look at 111, 112, 176 and 177.

Gotta say the 2121 ticks a lot of boxes
