Which Panerai to get around 20k?

[ndtaan]

292 with SLC is J series and the price is above 20k

20-25k or higher at 25-30k?

You may do a search. Should be on 25-30k range.

oh,the "O" series ,they quoted me 22k

ndtaan, check out more shop. I remember BSC having one shop do carry a lot of PAM also you can check that out.

Another place should be Sunday Giza. Good luck.

Thanks eltontan,
I'll keep posted.

Try to get a use PAM 390 . Hold it's value pretty well. Nice tabacco dials too. Here is a review made by our merchant and a friend of mine too .

Thanks.
Actually I've contemplating about getting a Panerai for quite awhile now.
But it's actually now after being active in this forum that I've finally get myself "wet".

Many thanks to all you guys who took the time to give me your opinions and advise.

All the best with the hunt. Can't go wrong with most of the models in the Historic range, but you have to enjoy winding your watch (on a daily basis). As for the 292, it is ceramic case and the crown is also ceramic. It is scratch resistant, not crack resistant, so do be careful if you get the watch.

Just to add more poison into u...



My 292 says hello....

Saw a post in a HK Penarai topic, an owner paying a premium to replace the crack crown, he was mentioned the crown was crack by itself without sign of knocking. Really think twice for ceramic stuff.

I guess owner don't admit he bang it
Or mayb he didn't notice

Ceramic is hard...
Yes is breakable.... Can b scratched by harder material as well... Diamond... N dog teeth ( my Fren experienced this with his top gun)

But if a force that can break the ceramic case, I believe if it is steel also... It will be dented badly!
Dent is non repairable as well

Nothing perfect... Looking after our love on wrist also show u r really appreciating watches

Make sense, buy and wear it with care

Actually steel cases not too bad if dented or badly scratched. There are techniques to restore the case. You can use laser weld and lapping grinder machine.

Saw a post from HK mentioned about laser weld, but is this technique available in KL?

[RaymondT]

any idea how much it will cost to replace the glass on a 177 ?

[STT1987]

The PVD and Ceramic black watches may be nice looking and all that but they are nowhere near maintainable as traditional chrome/brushed steel watches. For these, Cape Cod cloth and fine nail polish board is all you need for minor touch ups, something not so easy for the black watches. A factor to consider if the watch you plan to get is a "wearer".

When I was looking for my first Panerai - I have decided to go for the classic DNA of Panerai with crown guard and simple dial. Maybe PAM111 or PAM112 for sandwich dial or PAM390 for sausage dial. And, a little complication for the second Panerai.

My First.


My Second.

[Timeless]

try hit the base models.


"Less is More"

[garethxh]

Well, if you could stretch your budget a little you should be able to get an absolute modern classic in the PAM 372 (biased as i just got mine), on the secondary market. Trust me, you wouldn't regret it! Some visual encouragement, LOVE IT! Definitely the base model to go for.

get thos base model like some of members mentioned like pam 111,112, 0, 5 I think those are now easier to get compared to few years ago where grey dealer are selling at premium and ad are hogging those stock for their spendy customers

[aceventura]

Hi all Panerai sifus.
I really need your help.
This will be my first Panerai.
What's your proposed model and why do you think that's ok.
Appreciate all your input and opinions.
Thank you so much.....

ps. even a pre owned one that cost more than 20k new,but now going for around 20k is also considered.

First get yourself thoroughly confused with ALL the models on offer then work through the labyrinth of designs before deciding. I presume once you get bitten by the bug you will be going for a second Pam then a third....... and until your gf/ wife screams at you....you wake up to reality and realize perhaps the obsession is not worth it after all ! Or perhaps you are forced to make hard choices, search your soul as you are constantly between a rock and a hard place.

I assum that is the difficult part that the thread owner is seeking help. many models are too "look a like"

This kind of Pam (000 & 005) will pop us once in a while in the pre own market be it from gray dealer of from direct owner. Just need to be aware from time to time. Unless u only want the new one there's nothing much u can do..

Dear raymond,

If i have 20k to shop a panerai, i would wait for a while,
The pam 510 is coming -
A new inhouse caliber P5000, 8 days power reserve, luminor -
I think its really value for money.

handwound 8 days PR
