A Trip To A Panerai AD Has Left Me Obsessed !

So I was minding my own business and happened to stroll into an authorized dealer. Always having been a fan of PAM, and having had a rep 111 for many years (of course not wearing it that day as I could never walk into an A.D. with a rep), The salesman had me try on a brand-new 47mm PAM422.

The large case and low profile of the sapphire crystal almost made me cry. Having never really paid attention to a large case PAMs, I could not believe how perfect and amazing this watch looked.

I have to have one. Scouring the Internet it appears that a gen cannot be had for less than $7000 usd. :-( too rich for my blood.

It appears that the rep PAM 422 is not yet up to the super rep quality of other PAMs.

So I ask my fellow comrades what rep can quench my thirst for a 47mm Pam with a low profile sapphire crystal that is of superior quality (No sub or radiomir)

203?

372?

127?

Or perhaps is there a 422 that I am unaware of that is of good quality?

Thanks for your help!!!

DUDE!!! I sympathise with your angst!!

I have held a GEN 422 & a REP 372 side by side & the quality of the rep is unbelievable! 

At the same time there's the "lefty" 557  (372 Destro), 127, 217, 368...

I bought a 217 many, many years ago & it was awesome!! I regret selling it - but I needed the funds...

The 422 & 372 for that matter feel "smaller" than the 47mm suggests too, so for me it's an ideal size.

good luck! :clap2:
