Panerai .. Model selection.

[Blue Bull]

I have selected the following models :

PAM 104
PAM 164
PAM 088
PAM 090

Important are 44mm s/s case,strap and date.

Any other models that I perhaps should include ?
Any model from the selected ones that you prefer ?

I have placed my name on all the waiting lists,at all of the ADs in the country.

The 88 looks fantastic, but to me, Panerai means simplicity and a timepiece true to its roots, so if I were to only own one, I would want the 183 or the 111. But, if I were going to have two, an 88 or especially 98 would be on my wish list if I could afford another

Not sure of the model no., but I do like the one with the date, power reserve indicator and on its original fabulous steel bracelet.

That bracelet itself is just so superbly constructed.

My list:
1. 104
2. 090
3. 164
4. 088

But they all look great.
If you can live without the date feature: 111 and 112.

They are all excellent choices. Myself I would get the 88 as I feel it's a great all around choice. Very functional and amazing to look at. I love the hands on the 88 as well.

The 111 and 183 is nice,but have no date.The 88 is a beauty !! The 98 is too expensive !! The 88 is a strong contender,but may have to wait a while,seems its scarce.

104 with the polished case and stick markers,may be my prefernce above the 164 with arabs and dull case/polished bezel.Thats without seeing them in person.Maybe never together,stock is low and the waiting list is long,especially on those two ...
Will be difficult without a date on the 111 and 112.

The 88 is a great call, and by far my favorite Panerai!

My AD had both the 104 and 164 for me to look at as those were the only 2 on my list. I like the brushed case of the 164 better and the actual numbers over the sticks. I did ditch the gator strap though. Great watch has not left my wrist in the 2 weeks of owner ship. Looking to get another one now sights set on the 183.

the power reserve is a touch of sophistication. i'd go with pam 90.
