perfect clones/joshua offerings are a great place to start your panerai collection. i was never a panerai brand/model fan until i saw them at a local AD. i will warn you once you go down the panerai slope there will be no turning back. you will want a 111h, 127/Fiddy, a submersible, destro (crown on the left side of case), a gmt.
i have a pam90 on bracelet and love it. it is a substantial looking watch. however the Fiddy or 127 on bracelet is a monster at 47mm.

oh by the way, panerai enthusiats also go bonkers with straps, modifications, crown, crown guard, lume, buckles, homage dials, customization dials and all the fine scrutiny of how we want our reps to look like the gen.
good luck ... i went done the panerai slope last november and now have 6 pams (111, 212, 90, 232, 2 fiddys), custom painted dials, logo cufflinks, 10+ straps and a whole assortment of buckles
here's a pic of my 111 customized for a NYC tribute dial on light tan buffalo leather strap
post pics of your panerai once you get it!
