Thinking of ordering a Panerai REP-Want opinions

[decker6869]

I was thinking of ordering this one from Josh's, http://www.1-pc8838.com/pn029m04-ssle-swiss-p-11710.html

I dont know much about the brand but I do like some of there styles and wanted the members of this section who im sure know plenty about the brand to help me figure out which one i should get.

I was also looking at the submersible 187G http://www.1-pc8838.com/0pn187g01-submersible-chrono-ssru-a7753-p-10436.html as well as the Marina Militare's....

Honestly i don't know which one is the best for the dollar as I do like the look of all 3. Any opinions on which REP is built better or something that could edge towards one over the other would be appreciated!

Many thanks in advance!

hI, I don't owe no one of them, but I can say you that my idea, after reading the forum is that 029 should be a better choice (more close to gen.)

Experts could say more or better than me...this is just my little help. bye

The 187G, the 029, the 390, the 360 ... these and several others released in 2011 are all "super-reps" and top quality .. the best of the breed.

Don't worry about build quality with these pieces; get the one you like best.

go with the 29 the 187 is big watch

My first was the 029. It was so impressive that it has led to 10 or so more PAM purchases in just the last two months. I just got the 390, 243 and 127. Love all of them. All uniquely different.

Also have 177, 036 and 005. Love all of those too.

I would go with 029 for first. Simple and clean and very well made.

But I'm a noob so I would rely on the opinions of others before mine!

Thank you all for the great input! I have a tough decision but am leaning towards the brown strap 029... I have the 42mm Rolex explorer II so that's the main thing still kicking in my mind on getting the 187G
