I don’t own one but that one always struck me as classic OP and is probably the one I would get.

If you had to recommend

If you had to recommend a model, which one would be the 2-3 most iconic and classic Panerai? I have PAM312, bug at times I don’t feel is iconic enough, I don’t know, maybe is the case proportions, maybe the dial or the cristal. ...

The 312 brings back a few memories…

That model seemed to have the internet lit up, and it still is a very cool Panerai. Regarding your question, I agree with vitalsigns and expect many of the experienced members here will mention the 372 as a modern icon that faithfully represents Panerai D... 

agree

In addition to other good suggestions, I vote for the 422

And any of the 47mm sizes are iconic IMO. Both Luminor and Radiomir models. I Love those big Panerai (espcially since my wrist can handle the size).

A Panerai with the date....

cannot be iconic, period The models that would fit: 000, 002, 009. 372, 232, 249 off the top of my head. Less IS more, in a Panerai. Start with 3-6-9-12, manual winding. Everything you add to that, makes the Panerai less and less attractive. I.M.O. of cou... 

You're not alone 😉

Except - for me - the 670, which I love immensely although… LOLLLL

The key word: ICONIC...not how much I love MY Panerai.

 
 By: sergio : June 7th, 2023-21:16
it can't be a 312, it can't be the 670 etc etc An ICON of Hollywood cannot be Raphael Joaquim Ortega (if an actor with that name has ever existed). You have to go to Gable, Wayne, Stewart etc

Amen again! 🙏

Therefore my „…although…“. „…although it’s just my personal icon and for sure not a classic.” LOLLL Ciao Thomas

Iconic -- 372 or 249

My favorites, still somewhat attainable: 587, 673, 249. If 47mm is too big, there are many nice 44mm Luminors (e.g., 176)

3 6 9 12.... 390 292 687... 44mm 45mm 47mm

390 292 687 ...  

yes indeed. I've sinned

372 587 662 1080 (owned by Ahoi) 721 (not loved by everybody): and the good old Fiddy (127): Enjoy your hunt ☺️ Thomas ...  

372 is fantastic as long as the large size works for you. My wrist is 6 1/2" and eventually I felt mine was too big. Looking for something similar but smaller I ended up with a 562. 44mm

titanium cushion case, tobacco brown sandwich dial, 8 day manual movement, no date but all the numbers. ...  

1080, 721 and 662/587
