Questions about panerai!

[Sean.c]

I recently had a panerai and sold it! I dont know much about the brand. I was wondering what the difference was between the pam 000 and the pam 112 apart from the obvious dial difference. With the 000 I think you had to wind it manually every so often or else it died?. Is there a similar looking panerai to the 000 that you dont have to wind manually, somthing that winds itself from the movement on your wrist? Appreciate all help

[Wristmaster]

Yes there is. Look for automatic PAMs, some of the choices are, 312, 320, 359, 351,etc..

Is the one with the brass case self winding?

You mean bronze? Pam382? It's a 3-day reserve automatic but good luck finding one.

[Acro-Pilot]

No doubt... The 382's are out there at about double the original retail price.

thanks !! that was the reply i was looking for !!!

[Sean.c]

mind telling me what the difference is between the 312 and the 320 ?

[up2nogood]

320 is a GMT, 312 is not.

[Psmith]

Also the 104 and 164, which have the same case as the 000, 112, etc

The 312, 320, etc have the '1950' case which is a different shape and sits up higher on the wrist

Check also whether or not the models you are interested in have the quick-change strap system (rather than screws), and which are titanium (such as the 351)

Yes. Wow that looks awesome.


I guess they are pretty rare?

[nick c]

got the 312 its nice

[rulessapt]

Any of the automatics are a little taller than the manual wind models.

The 1950s 47mm case with domed crystals also, as mentioned sit higher.

Best to try one on and confirm the fit to your wrist. I have a 287, which has a cushion case, whilst a heavy automatic, it sits comfortably.
The 287 is similar to the 164, but different case and series.

Limited production and all sold out. Selling on secondary market for 2x retail price.

so the manual wound models... you have to actually wind by hand every few hours to keep them running?

Hi Sean,

No not every few hours.

If you google the model and movement you will get the specs.

Sean...is that an Irish name?

[Wristmaster]

I think 312 or 320 are the safest auto pams to start with. Otherwise, go manuals.

Is this the watch you recently bought for somewhere around $1000? Curious how you made out on the sale if you don't mind sharing..

[Benjamin Choi]

i'd check out the 111 - the 112's a lil plain imo. i had one and sold it for a 233.
