Hi Arn777,
I have a 184 that I love and for me the size is not a concern, I like the 42mm Rad case. What drew me to this watch was the JLC movement, the GMT function and the easily swapped straps for a different looks.
That said I would not mind adding a bigger 44mm Luminor some day to have a totally different Panerai look in my small collection. I would say pick the one you are most drawn to, I doubt you would regret either choice.
Good luck deciding,
Mark V
Dilemma (PAM 111 or PAM184) - advice for a newbie
Hello, I'm new to the world of Panerai, have done some research but would value advice from fans here. I am looking at 2 pre-owned watches a PAM111 J-serie (at £2.5k) and a PAM184 (H) at £3.5k. I like both of them for various reasons, but I have to decide...
As per forum rules, we don't discuss prices, here
Well prices and value apart, these are 2 different watches, very different, indeed. The 111 may be the one ot go, for its simple, strong and elegant look! Then, if you're hooked, then ...You may consider the 2d! Best, and welcome! Nicolas

No problems,
And good decision! Let us konw what you finaly decide, and once on your wrist, don't forget the pics! Best, Nicolas
You can't go wrong with the PAM111 as your 1st PAM
It's many people's 1st Panerai, and you can dress it up and down with different straps. Cheers, Anthony
I got the PAM111!
Bought it today and love it! Now I need new straps. Do you have any particular strong recommendations? Cheers Arnaud
In terms of OEM straps, many like the Riva and Jules Verna strap
If you do a quick search in this forum using our search feature, u should be able to find lots of pictures of these straps. Otherwise, if you're looking for non-OEM straps, I suggest buying a 4mm or 5mm thick beat up calf strap for the vintage look many p...
