Thinking of my 1st panerai - ideas needed

[Maccaknight]

Hi folks, brand new to this forum and looking for some good opinions.....

So I am thinking of purchasing my first panerai.
I like the look and detail of the luminor range.
My budget for a pre loved one is circa £4500.......

I have few tags, a omega and some retro Smith's....looking to step up a little.

Has anyone got any recommendations along the above lines or any recommendations for any reputable sellers

I just picked up a gently used PAM 90 and am really loving it. I have a 111 as well and was skeptical about the power reserve and added "details" to the dial, but I'm really really enjoying it. It keeps excellent time and have gotten many complements on it from non ristis. Alternative you may be able to find a 111 or 112 in the price range.

Oh man...lots of choices. Start with the preowned 000 and work your way around until you find the one.
The zero just might be the one for you. I love it. Logo, classic look, price is right.
Also, you might only be a few dollars shy of a preowned 372! Another classic look.
Enjoy looking around

Solid advice

372 = Pure Panerai DNA. Everything else is a derivation, which is still good, but just different. However, as with all watch purchases, you must get the one you love, no matter what anyone else says. Good luck

So many great options....and then there's the world of straps!

I would go to a boutique and/or several ADs and try on as many as possible. You'll soon find the many differences and eventually find the perfect one for you.

I think the 372 and the 000 are ace! I might wait another month and save for a 372......nice!

389 or 662 best looking ones

[socialpro]

I recommend a titanium 177, the 000 is never a bad idea, and I LOVE my 114 with the white dial!

Tons of great choices - can't go wrong with many of them! Good luck

Welcome

Start by looking at the 111

[red1108nyc]

45mm range.. go for a 233. It is sleek and can be had for 7k USD area so it is somewhat close to your target price.

[fullcourt]

....so many choices, try doing a search, seems this topic comes up every week.

not 1 thread starts with, i stfa and found....lol

[Benjamin Yair]

112! Can't go wrong with a base!
