First Panerai
I've never owned a Panerai and I am looking at purchasing my first. I was looking at the Panerai Ferrari Scuderia Chronograph FER 008.
Any advise on the watch?

First Panerai
I've never owned a Panerai and I am looking at purchasing my first. I was looking at the Panerai Ferrari Scuderia Chronograph FER 008. Any advise on the watch?
Welcome here Barrieo
im not so sure that they are considered a pam as they are exclusive watches made for Ferrari by Panerai i could be wrong but im sure someone will clarify this for us, as for the watches they seem to be made well made and some actually do have some strikin...
feeling very welcome already :)
Thanks for the warm welcome gazoz I'm not too sure as well but a friend mentioned they are very much considered pam. Based on Anthonys feedback I'll be doing some home work around other models then deciding from there.
My thoughts is a Ferrari Panerai isn't ideal as your 1st Panerai
because the design and look of a Ferrari Panerai watch isn't the same as a "regular" Panerai watch. What's important though, is that you like the watch. So if you like the FER008, then I'd suggest getting it. Then maybe for your 2nd Panerai, I'd look into...
ideal
thanks Anthony, quite a newbie here What would you recommend as a first Panerai?
For an entry level Panerai as your 1st
I would suggest a Luminor so the PAM111, PAM112, PAM233, PAM312, PAM0, and PAM5 come to my mind. It's difficult to give any suggestions without knowing your preferences and what other watches you have in your collection, but the main thing you should deci...
(panerai) For an entry level Panerai as your 1st
Thanks Anthony, I am looking at the 44MM. Just need to do some serious home work now thanks again, really appreciate the response.
NICE...but to be honest that would not be my first PAM
They are really NICE...and they are Panerai inside, but I really dont find the FER as ¨real¨PAMs...Thats my feeling. I would go for a BASE model of the line up (111, 177, 005 or 000, or 210) or even a 312. Thats the real feeling of a PAM. But in...
the idea of a Panerai it's very good.....
to start with a Ferrari, though, I'm not sure it's the way to go. Nothing wrong with the Ferrari's models but, they have very little to do with the Panerai "spirit" and feel IMO... Cheers
PAM111 it is
Hi all, Thanks for the sound advice, really appreciated it. In the end I decided on a PAM111 and thankfully there was one unit in stock and I picked it up. Really loving the watch so far!
PAM
thanks! almost a month out and am loving my PAM. Btw, the wife asked what PAM stands for and I couldnt answer
Easy. Pam is the Reference on Vendome Panerai Watches.
Followed by a number, for ex PAM 000, PAM 64, PAM 127, and so on. While on Pre Vendome, it was a code number almost always followed by a letter ( A ). For example 5218 - 201/ A, 5218 - 301/ A... The only watches which didn't get the letter after the numbe...
