Getting a new Panerai

[Badboy]

Hi Guys

I am thinking of getting a new Panerai around 10-12K range.
Any recommendation???

351 ..

Hi this is the brown dial with titanium casing.
I like this watch but would like to understand why you recommend this model?

Sorry as I am new to this.

[Oceanklassik]

Simple - personal preference . I like the ti, 44mm case, tobacco dial and gold hands combi .

Bro any idea what is the price for this one?

[Oceanklassik]

IIRC, list price is around early $11K? Don't know if discount is given because I didn't try to ask.

[Badboy]

Bro the price your quoted is from Ion Panerai???

[Oceanklassik]

No. One of the Hour Glass branches in Orchard Road.

Hiaz... really tempted to buy...

There are several models available at that price range. Maybe you could share with us whether you're looking for anything particular e.g. GMT, date, power reserve, in-house movement, collectible? Would be easier for us to advise that way.

First of all, congrats as your budget is quite a lot! IMO, get 351 or 312 as it's in-house movements and using 1950 design, if I am not wrong. I may not own any PAM, but I have been liking 312 and 351 since they were launched a few years ago. I do prefer 351 over 312 as it's using tobacco dial and gold hands. The contrasts are great. And the colour is unique as most dials of most brands are either blue, black or white. Brown or tobacco is rather unique and nice. In any case, try out the watch that you like as long as it's within your budget. There are many models that fall within this budget range. Sometimes, you will never know till you try it.

Thanks bro for the advise.
Frankly speaking, I do not have anything in mind.

I like Panerai watches but just dont know which one to get.
lol

First step is to try and read up the forums. Then do a bit of leg work and try out as many models as you can/want. Thereafter, narrow down to one/two, max at three choices and start checking out the prices. Choose the one that you like best and can afford.

Good luck!

When it comes to Panerai, "spoilt for choice" takes a whole new meaning. Good luck in your search!

look through the Panerai catalog and see which model appeals to you and what options you like to go for. then try to narrow down your choices to a few.
