Panerai Luminor

[jimmyVX]

I have always been a fan of this watch but having tried a friends one on recently it has confirmed my love for it. Something along the lines of the image below would be ideal. I must confess that I haven't really spent this kind of cash on a watch and would consider a second hand option. I have reservations about ebay so am really looking for the best place to look for something like this?

That's a 372 - you won't get much change (if any) from 5k.

Blowers Jewellers always have a great stock of used PAM watches and Blowers themselves are a great company to deal with.

Have a look here

You seem ro be looking at the PAM002 Base, very nice. Also look at the PAM00111, which has aseconds counter at the 9, very nice as well.

I'm not into watches at all (just spotted this on the main Pie & Piston page) but a friend of mine is, he's got two Panerais, one identical to this.

Whilst I could not in my current circs justify the outlay I must admit I do love it, the only spendy watch that I do really like. It is neatly mentally filed under 'Euromillions win splurge'.

As I said above, OP's picture is of a 372.

I have 3 Pams now including a 389 which I purchased from Geneva 2 weeks ago.

Luminor's are lovely, they will be changing the movement in the base range soon and people are buying them as collector pieces.

Good luck with your purchase, you will enjoy it and people will admire it.

Im not set on the one in the picture shown, as there appear to be many the look similar and I must confess to being a bit naive to the differences. Im not looking for a chronograph but a brown strap and uncluttered face, being the main focus. I will have a look around and see what turns up. Thanks

They are not for wearing under a double cuff, that's for sure! I have a Seamaster pro for work.

[Watcha]

I love them, but for me they wear just too big.

You can get the Luminor in 40mm for the smaller wristed. There are quite a few 40mm models including the PAM 48 and PAM 70 which can both be purchased sub £3k very easiliy.

Like this? It's a Precista PRS-20 'Italian' on a brown Toshi strap:

No have not gotten that far , I have had a Rolex Sub for years and that looks a little small if anything
