jacobsen1 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 OK, I really want to get a panerai. I have about 10 different versions book marked that I'd like to get, but for my first one I have it narrowed down to one of these 2: Pam 172 Tantalium w/Swiss -or- Pam 009 PVD w/Swiss Anything that I should consider with either of these 2? Any other model that I should get over either of these as my first Panerai that's more classic? Also, dumb question, but why does everyone abbreviate Panerai as PaM when there is no M in the name? I'll probably be getting which ever watch I decide on from Joshua. Thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBombadil Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 If it were me, I would go with the 172, but I prefer the steel look to PVD. PAM = PAnerai Model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Tough choice. I have the 172 from Joshua and it is probably my favorite pam. It is really great, so I would tell you to get that one first and then later get the PVD. They both have a different look, but in all around love of the watch....the 172 hands down. Great first choice too BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like things "blacked out" but on a watch I think it might be a bit much... They both look so good. The more I go to Josh's website the more I find another to bookmark... My current plan is to rotate companies that I get reps of. IE my first was the Rolex GMT II, then a PAM (thank you Tom), then an Omega, then a Bell & Ross then a Tag and then back through the lineup... The only issue is every time I go look at the options the list of watches I like get longer not shorter. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobsen1 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I also really like the display back on the 172... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnixon Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I would go for a regular 111H. It is in my view the most classic of all PAM. One alternative if you like the bit cooler look but dont want to go as extreme as a PVD could be a titanium 177. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 go with a base pam for your first order...111 - 112....they are nice...you'll fall in love...definitely...and it will be a never ending story...you'll get after that a 172 and the PVD as well...(if you wanna a 172 - there is a member on RWI selling it)...
