Pick one... and plz tell me why
Hi2all,
I have two really great PAMs but there's always room for another... Actually, I've been dreaming of a 111G with sausage dial and exhibition caseback. This got me interested in all "simple" Base and Marinas (no date, no PR indicator, no mins indicies, etc and dark dial) that are out of production. Here are the contenders; please pick one* price-no-object and one that's "attainable" (for the passionate WIS): *Common, now, Let's not all pick the 9A, 036, 172, 195, 360...

PAM036 - Luminor Marina Militare, PVD unmatched, brown dial, Ti case, B(SE) PAM040 - Luminor Marina, unmatched, Ti case, B PAM055 - Luminor base, brown dial, Ti case, C,D PAM056 - Luminor Marina, Destro, brown dial, Ti case, C,D PAM061 - Luminor Marina, brown dial, Ti case, C,D PAM082 - Luminor Marina Militare, blue dial, Ti case, C *PAM111 - Luminor Marina, G< (Gs w/Sausage dial) *PAM112 - Luminor base, G< (Gs w/Sausage dial) PAM115 - Luminor Marina, Destro, E,F,G PAM116 - Luminor base, brown dial, Ti case, E,F PAM117 - Luminor Marina, Destro, brown dial, Ti case, E PAM118 - Luminor Marina, brown dial, Ti case, E,F PAM172 - Luminor Marina, blue hands, Tantalium case, F(SE) *PAM176 - Luminor base, Ti case, G< (Gs w/Sausage dial?) *PAM177 - Luminor Marina, Ti case, G< (Gs w/Sausage dial?) PAM195 - Luminor Marina Logo, PVD, F(SE) PAM219 - Luminor base, Destro, H (Sandwich) PAM360 - Luminor base Logo, PVD, Ecru, M (Paneristi 10th) *Gs only

I like the all polished case with the base dial (112?) thats the one to get. 390 is pretty sweet if you ask me...,,,

Of course the 36, I guess it's no surprise coming from me, and in second the 82, both are very limited editions and have the Marina Militareimage.jpg and in third the 26, or the 28 which is not on the list, glad I kept mine I wear it almost as often as my 233, great watch, but you wrote that the 36 is PVD, it's not, it's TI, nothing PVD there...

i have a 112 G series. its a classic and i will probably never outgrow it. the see through case back is really unique. i think panerai made these limited series with with more attention to detail.
this was also the time when pam were at the peak of their popularity. that being said i think you can still find those early series. there are probably 4500 pieces per model out there. |

G-men, I you!
390 - I left out all Boutique editions (and there are enough), but the 390 seems to be a more unique variant with it's brown dial... and lack of pig "The night is young", but still, I was hoping to see a vote (or three) for some "fat numbers" by now... Quote:
Sorry - I added both PVD and Ti to the description - obviously no such creature... ...aka typo - aka "can you find it in your heart to forgive me ???" Sorry, 28 doesn't fit the parameters and what business have our 233s in this "conversation"

111G...sausage Luminor is tasty for sure.
But, Ti + chocolate makes the 118 tough to beat. I would take it over the 111G, especially in light of the 217 and 233. Or, 009 for PVD and even greater difference with the two you have (but, for me, 118 does more). |

111 voter here
All you need in a manual PAM, although I prefer the sandwich dial version

If you have the coin....pre-a, once you see the dug out and filled dial, you'll know why.
If not....55 or 111G. Just really great combos for visual pleasure!

^^A fantastic shot of your 111
This is what I'm lusting after... just look at those numbers... 202/A and 009 (Pre-A) c/o W. Loi I've referred to this diagram by Volker before; it gives us a great understanding of the different versions of the non-sandwich dial types: c/o V. Wiegmann

I like the very clean sandwich dial matching well with the Ti case on Pam176.

I personally went down the 111G route with the more historically correct sized crown guard, decorated movement and painted dial. 176G would be a close second!
Here is my 111G saying hi! |

Of course if you're talking about 202/A, not much to add, except a big load of cash

Pam 360 or the original Panerai 5218-201a Pre Vendom Logo
the balance on the dial is a work of art.

BTTT - I'd love to see a few more opinions (please don't forget the "why")
Many have suggested the ... PAM390 - Luminor base, brown dial, gold hands, Ecru, pig on case-back (BE) ... is missing from the list.

318 Brooklyn Bride
it's a disaster for Panerai but this makes it unique and it will NEVER been done again Some might find it crazy but for me the 318, no doubt ….. at least it is something rare

Say, why do Paneristi refer to the 360 as BBQ

Bob Quapaw aka BBQ. I didn't know him but he supposedly help pick out what the 360 would look like and he passed away before it was released.
