His appreciation for the smooth bezel and a preference for a dateless design resonate with the community, highlighting key aesthetic considerations for this iconic reference. This thread delves into the nuances that make early Panerai models particularly desirable.
The first gen bezel is my favorite too. Interesting fact early ones had 5 min bezel rings as well (1 click=5 mins rather than 1min on later models). Same feeling about the date.
Lucky me, cause those, are quiet expensive still.
The all highly polished case is nice and would be also nice to add the 25 same series too. They both complement each other nicely. One all shiny while the other all brushed. Iām currently on the hunt for one. Already have the 25 but need to add this 24 to my collection. Laurent.
I like to have at least 2 pieces per brand for some reason... And I was hesitating, to start with a wire lugs radiomir or a luminor with Pam signature crown guard. Was thinking of the 372, but, i sure it is for me... Maybe a 422 or 423, both also quiet iconic!
And.. I think I want to add one with the small second.. I am so not used, not to have the second hand on a watch, I know it's very "Panerai DNA", base model, and I went for it with the 424, so the next piece with small second, is what I think for now... The 372 is such of photogenic piece! Really gorgeous, the King!
..5218-304 NM Slytech but a very close second, no?
