First Panerai!
Hello there, my first post so go easy on me please! ;-)
I'm going to buy a Panerai and have narrowed it down to 2, the 000 or
the 112.
I have four Breitlings but have been hankering over a Pam for a while
now. My other watches are quite busy in terms of the dials and I just
want something clean, simple and elegant which I think the 000 and the
112 represent.
Anyway I have a couple of days to lay down a deposit so I need to make a
choice. I like the 000 because of the logo at the bottom,simple! I like
the 112 because of the open case at the back and of course because the
dial is very clean again. I'm probably edging towards the 112 just now
but just wanted some of your experienced thoughts.
As I'm not on the mainland I have to pay the deposit then collect the
watch when I'm at the AD in 6-8 weeks in which time he has told me they
will have a 312 in stock!!!!
I really like the 312 but have not tried it on so I'm not 100% sure
about it. I have tried on the 000 and the 112 but I've been told the 312
is slightly thicker and the case and glass are shaped differently which
I have trouble seeing on the pics of the watches so I imagine these
differences are very slight.
Oh well, choices choices.
I would be glad to hear of your thoughts on this.
Thankyou
Andrew

The logo is a great piece as is the 112. I have a 177 that I love for the sandwich dial and display back, pretty stunning to look at. That said, the 312 is a great ref because it has the in-house movement for really not too much more than the 112. If it w...

You can't go wrong with all three of them. But I agree with Anthony, to start it with the PAM000. Then you can choose the 312 because it has different case from the Logo + it has an in-house movement which I think you will appreciate. Good luck on your ch...

Thanks for that chaps and thanks for the welcome! I know what you're saying about getting the 000 now and then the 312 later but I find that the Panerai in the range I like are quite similar so I don't think I would get the 000 then the 312. Please don't ...

Get something that your heart tells you. You won't regret it. As for the 000, if I'm not mistaken, Panerai produce around 1000 piece every year. For the experts, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm really glad that you like this site. I hope to read more ...
Thankyou

Firtly thanks for the comments they really helped in making my mind up! Well i totally changed my mind at the last minute! I've decided to go for the 000 and have paid the deposit. I'll be on the mainland in 7 weeks time to pick it up and if they have a 3...
