Reconstituting my Panerai collection

Folks,

After a number of years, I decided to sell my small panerai collection and focus on other things... but the time may have come to reconstitute my collection.  I wanted to get opinions from esteemed paneristi with a few caveats:

1. No tritium... I know... sacrilege!  but I'm not chasing after pre-vendomes because I can't deal with the servicing issues and potential flaking of tritium dials... but yes I love the patina.

2. No plexiglass... I know again with the history... but only sapphire crystal because I just hate scratches.

3. No repeats... I typically don't rebuy watches I've sold... so no 104, 172 (I might be convinced), 190, 292J, 780 (set of 2), 127 (fiddy), 332, 390, 240, 233, 305,... I think I've owned a few others but I can't remember...

4. Nothing over a gazillion... so while I'd love a 203... I'd probably buy another PP perpetual instead...

So, where to begin...

I'm thinking:

1. 360 bbq

2. 317k

3. 26k

4. 345 (i personally love the left hand titanio w/ 8 day)

5. 339 composite

Other quintessential PAMs that you'd consider to restart a collection...

Thanks!
