What would you recommend for my 1st Panerai Watch?

What would be a good introductory watch in the PAM series. My budget is $5k. If you can post photos of your suggestions, that would be great. Thanks everyone.

111 is my first and only (so far); I love it and would recommend it.

By the way, I have a small wrist so a 40mm or a 42mm is what I’m looking for.

Any base model is a good start.

005 for me

My wrist is 6.25




Best regards,

A 000, 005 or 111 are all great places to start. Pre-owned and complete with box and papers is the way to go. Save some cash and be ready for a future flip.

I went with 390 limited edition. Base, 44mm and flatter as manual wind. I have small wrists and it fits well. I felt that as it was a true limited edition (2000 only) I could sell on quite easily if I didn't get on with it.
