If I had to go for a SS case, it would definitively be a Base. But I don't like the sandwich dials. Why don't you look for a LNIB 112G. Wouldn't be too hard to find and would probably be a bit cheaper then a 112H.
I'm still saving for a 177G, my ultimate Pannie.
Good luck and enjoy your future Panerai!
I also wanted to order some watch tools, but mailed them first. Haven't had a reply since, so I guess you're scammed.
I always contact the seller before purchase. How much did you order?
I'm also thinking of adding a 217 to the collection. Only thing keeping me back is that the 'Officine Panerai' engraving isn't correctly upside down.
Should be an easy fix, right?
'm currently unable to decide wether to go for a PAM 61 or PAM 177 (no sandwich).
How are the numbers on the 61, they look a bit yellowish compared to the white of the 177 ?
Does someone have pics of these, the dealer pics look nice, but I want to seem them in 'real' everyday style pics.
First Panerai used the Rolex movement based on the Cortbert Cal.616 (15 jewels). Later on they used the Rolex movement based on the Cortebert Cal.618 (17 jewels).
Laco, one of the brands who manufactured the real 'B-uhren' during WW2 is coming with a new 55mm 'vintage' model.
Only 500 will be produced and will cost about €2500.
It's $15 well spent, really nice vintaged look. Thinking of getting a B-uhr myself. Only problem is finding one reasonbly priced which has the correct looks. A gen costs way to much.
