My 1st PAM - Help!

Okay, 1st post so go easy on me guys!

I'm in the market for my 1st Panerai, and there's a specific model I'd really like to get (see pic below)

I've checked some of the preferred sites on Repgeek but havent seen this model for sale. I'd like to buy one with a nice strap and and really bright lume. Can anyone offer any suggestions to me as to where I might find something like this at a decent price?

Also, what movement would be best? Swiss, Asia?

I'm sorry if any of these questions are stupid!

Thanks for your help! :)

Hi Upnya ...

Welcome among us!

Model that pleases you is beautiful ... one of my favorite ... ... ... But unfortunately for us at the moment is not yet repped!

Will you choose another ... you will see that when you have between your hands you will be very satisfied!

These replicas are really drugs!

this is one of my favorites also nya. Unfortunately its not repped yet, well not a wearable rep anyway, due in part to the working 8 days power reserve. (I dont foresee a working 8 Days pr rep ever being made) There is a good gmt available, but it does not have the date or power reserve.

You can get a good pam in the Members Sales Section often, keep an eye in there - of course any of the dealers will have a whole slew of pams for you to choose from.

cheers and Welcome to RepGeek.

I am 99% sure this model is available without the scroll bar I think I have seen them GMT 47mm with a handwind movement. Maybe someone else can confirm

I too am waiting for this one... (but not holding my breath!)

Great taste BTW :cheesy:

There is a version of this you can get on Ioffer. I have only seen pics of it and have never heard of anyone buying it. IMHO not accurage enough to get. Plus its a 44 mm when the gen is a 47mm.

How about a 253 instead?
