Panerai Guidance

[Doofus]

I've decided that a Panerai should be my next watch (apart from the watch have on order )

I want a Luminor, not a fiddy, with the small seconds at 9 o'clock, and no date. Sandwich dial. Auto or handwind doesn't really matter, and I don't want it to say "Ferrari" or some other toss on the dial. New or pre-owned.

Which model numbers does that cover?

TIA

PAM111?

[Doofus]

Oh. Is that all? I thought it would be more complicated than that.

PAM510. I have one and love it. It has a display back but I'm not sure why as the movement is nothing to look at. It's a cracking watch though. I've got a few different straps but I've had a tan alligator strap from peterwatchacc for about a year now.

I can't recommend a particular model no. however if I was in the market for a Panerai I'd go for the same spec. Unless I'm missing something there doesn't appear to be any pattern to assigning model numbers i.e. they're random regardless as to case material, movement, dial type and so on. That doesn't make a task like this any easier when you have a particular spec in mind.

Cool, thanks.

Any ideas on how the numbers in that table relate to actual model numbers?

They are the reference numbers but without the 0’s so a 00372 is on that list as a 372 or the 00002 is on the list as 2 HTH

Not really, because where's the 111 or the 508 mentoned earlier in this thread?

The Paneristi list needs updating as the 508 is quite new.....the 111 is on it though

So it is, sorry.

Given there's no logic to the numbering system, I take it that I can't easily tell which ones are missing from that list, so I can look those up elsewheRe?.

The list linked is all the models, you can filter the 'types' in the banner at the top.

From recollection there aren't many that missing,

But how do I know which ones are missing?

Tbh it’s quite an old list, only just realised it’s from 2012. The Panerai website has the ability to search via features, so you can put in case material sub seconds etc.

[Doofus]

I hadn't thought of that. I'll have a look.

All the 2012 - 2017 models here:-
