General PAM 311 questions (OEM Strap and K or L series)
Hello. My first post here. Enjoy many enthusiastic posts and feedbacks. Very informative.
I'm looking at 311 k in BNIB condition which will be my first Panerai. One thing I noticed is that it comes with a buffalo strap where I've seen it with alligator strap on most online retailers and official catalog. When I inquired about the strap, I was told that it's OEM. Seller is legit as I've already done my due diligence.
Should I question the authenticity?
One more question. I read up on "series". I noticed there's also L series of 311. What is that about?
Thanks in advance.

311 comes with a brown alligator strap...
I'm guessing your seller may have misplaced the strap or for whatever reason, decided to sell the watch with another OEM strap from Panerai. You can still get brown alligator strap back from a Panerai boutique store. If you must have the alligator strap a...
Does "series" matter?
As this piece is a k series which is limited to 500 and there's also an identical watch in L series, does it make it less attractive and loses limited value? Why does Panerai do this?
For the PAM311, series year has no effect on secondary pricing
Every year is a different Letter - A was 1998, B 1999, C 2000, D 2001, etc. Since the PAM311 is a regular production model, it makes no different in which series it was made from. Each year, Panerai makes a certain # of them, so technically it's not a "li...
311 vs 351?
Anthony, I really appreciate your feedback and value your opinion especially on this forum. This will be my first Panerai! I'm debating whether to go with 311 or 351. I really love how Panerai looks in brown dial. I understand they're different animals as...
Of those 2, I'd recommend the PAM351
For your 1st Panerai, I would highly recommend getting either a Base model (no seconds, only minutes & hours) or a Base w/ seconds hand. I'd hold off on a chronograph or anything more complicated till your 2nd Panerai. This will let you appreciate the cle...
Right there with you.
I 100% agree with you. 351 has all those classic characteristics of what Panerai is so loved for. What should be my second Panerai be? 349 and 386 look really tempting... Thanks bunch!
