Im quite a newbie just joined the forum I own a few fine watches a hublot and 2 rolex's but I am enamoured by the pure simple elegance of the luminor and I have to have one so it will be a preowned watch I have about 4-5K to spend can you experienced folk make any recomendation on age and model number I should be in search of.

Thanks in advance
Ed

111

First choose between Radiomir or Luminor ? With or without crown-guard ?

ejvette · 12 April 2014, 08:23 AM

I really like the crown guard

111 is a great reference and yes - you can get a nice one for $5K.

111, 112, 005, 000, 183, 210 are all great Panerais. The 111 was my first and I foolishly sold it for under $5k.

So, YES, they ca be had for under $5k.

A nice beginner Pam watch would be a 111 or 112 (if you do not like the ticking seconds at 9).

For me, it would be 005 then 111.

laphroaig007 · 12 April 2014, 06:35 PM

111 or 112 are good choices.
312 if you want automatic.
305 or 389 if you want submersible big size 47mm.

Thank you for the advice I would prefer an automatic so it may tough finding a 312 for 5K. I assume they must sell for more than a manual.

Thanks all

If you want an auto, you will probably find a 104 or 164 for less than a 312.

laphroaig007 · 13 April 2014, 06:47 AM

104 or 164 don't look as nice as the 312, IMHO...

IMO part of the charm of the 111 is flipping the crown protector and hand winding the watch.
