If you could only have 3 (modern) Panerai watches, what would you choose..........?

I had quite a few Panerai watches in my hands. This is where I will stop for the moment since I believe these 3 will fill my needs.

These are a Noob Pam 111J (modded with Chief AR crystal), H-Fac Pam 380 unmodded and imo no need to mod at all and a DLC Pam 000 Logo (made of H-Fac 026K and 000N).

very tough decision, only 3 pams... actually I want to figure those 3 for myself :)

390M for sure as she is one of the best looking watches ever

029M I've been in love with her for some years (love started from 029B)

and as the 3rd one... there are many candidates- 288, 292, 026, 024, 359, 217...

Actually, I would only need one: the 5218-201/A. (Assuming, of course, that "modern" means anything made after the original Panerai factory stopped producing for the Italian armed services.)

As much as I love the brand (and I've had up to six Panerai at one time, both rep and gen), the look is very...unified. One is really all you need. For other types of watch functionality, like GMT watches or chronographs, there are much better choices.

Among post-Vendome buyout pieces, I think the 360 and the 000 are 'essential' pieces, as are the 232 and the 127. Anything with too many complications or an automatic movement just isn't "Panerai" enough for me.

I have them (mostly since one is a Franken genstein)

Franken fiddy , gen 296 and gen 087G if we are talking more contemporary Pams I guess G series is contemporary

My genstein 003A can be the old timer bridesmade
