What model Panerai is this?

[maxse]

Okay guys so I am shopping around for the most accurate Panerai.

Could you tel me if a gen model like this exists at all? There are so many it's a bit overwhelming.

Basically I would like a couple of things:

1) Sandwhich Dial

2) Closed caseback since the current movement is a dead giveaway.

3) Polished CG.

4) Base model - meaning I just want it to have a second hand no chronos. But it has to have a second hand.

If one doesnt exist like this, I guess the painted on dial is acceptable; But the only one I know is the 005 but I do not believe it's supposed to have a polished CG.

Also it's annoying to me that the logo arrow does not point wear it should like on the gen.

I would be willing to have mods done to it so flavor flav can do his thing with it. But I would like it to have the correct font (I believe the 005 has a thicker than 111H)... Anyay let's here your recommendations/suggestions.

Also I would like it to work with a SS bracelet one day so DS is out.

sounds like you're looking for a luminor marina from the historic collection, not a base model. the only one they make with a solid caseback is the 005 (logo). i'd go for the 111 if i were you. i'm not sure who has the best rep out there but that is a realistic panerai to own as the genuine retails for around $4,000. much more believable than say a special edition panerai for over $10,000. i hope this helps.
