Panerai 112 owners?

[Angryrodent]

whats it like? looks great, very simplistic.. big enough for some strap collection? anything bad about it? is kinda cheap so i dun expect the greatest movement.. but still not just pocket change...

[TheHobbit]

I don't have the PAM00112 but have played with it. It is a nice watch being a base. And yes you can have a large strap collection with the PAM00112 or with any Panerai. It is powered by the ETA64XX hand wind movement, so in reality, it is not really cheap.

5k us less.. if i find a used even less when you live in the freaky strange world of watches anything can seem cheap hehe

[Godzillaz]

I would hunt a PAM 00000 instead. About the same price if not cheaper.

Much much coherent to the Brand history because of the logo.
Then maybe I would add a 210 later.

Then you are all cover. Luminor and Radiomir. Sandwich and FATs

well, i have talked to many first time panerai buyers, and most of them have the tendency to want all panerai features in 1 watch.
typical ones they want are : sandwich, display back, LOTSA strap combos.

if those are what you want, then a PAM112 will fit you.







but if you don't really fancy the sandwich or display back, then you can save RM2900 (off the list price between PAM112 and PAM000) and go for the zero.

as an owner of a 112, I would recommend 000 instead. Just because it's cheaper and rarer.

Unless you "die,die" want the sandwich dial and display caseback then get a 112. There's nothing really interesting inside actually if you think abut it.

I agree. But i was the owner of the PAM176 which is the titanium version of the 112. After a while, it is not that interesting. But it is still a PAM though.

  if the clear caseback shows something like this than i would gladly "climb up sabre mountain and go through fire sea" for it 



to throw in another into the fray. have you considered a 005 as well?

112 does looks bare after a while. the zero fills up the spaces well with the logo and if you want something moving..the 005 does looks handsome as well. not to mention the 005 is a more rarer beast. would save up some money for some straps.

I would prefer 112.... Because
1) sandwich dial
2) display back
3) cleaner dial
4) cheaper than 390....

[takashi78]

I'll choose that Chopard over any PAM anytime hehe....

BUT, my vote goes to the 111. Just me though

[shamtv2555]

im a 112 owner n aso 0005 n 249.....112 classic , sandwich , transparent back case......nth to complain......in the end it still a pam n very comfort to wear.....

[taibtariq]

I would suggest PAM000 instead and later PAM210 or PAM183

[Henry133]

I will throw another spannar into the equation..

PAM 111..at least got the seconds ticking..

But ...if its me.. I will go for the 005.

Zero hero...unacceptable cause no sandwich!!!!!!

[TheHobbit]

Want something different and hard to get and see (unless Scott brings his), go for PAM00219. Sandwich dial and destro (left hander). If you want the sub-dial, spend a bit more (well lots more) and get the PAM00115.

[Alvin-8880]

+1 for PAM 112

I would prefer 112.... Because
1) sandwich dial
2) display back
3) cleaner dial
4) cheaper than 390....

[Godzillaz]

Sandwhich dial is nice but I think they fit nicer to a Radiomir case. Of course that's only my opinion.

I think the dial of the Luminor Marina (small second) by itself is stretch to the max. Adding the logo would seem too crowded.

Beside you'll have plenty choice adding a small second model later. They are many variety you choose.

But the logo(PAM000) goes back to the root of the Pre Vendome era. The original PreV model of course is the best but the price is not 

So a PAM000 is quite nice and the price is in human figure.

Will get the titanium of that watch if i have the $. Less shiny and blinky compared to SS version of the watch. Forgotten the Pam number of that model.

Yup that was it.. Thanks for telling me.. Too bad my wrist too small to wear it 

[SonnyCooL]

thanks guy for great input .....
eying for my first pan, just too many choice and huge prices range in between (means a lot of study), anymore input ?

prices range should be < 20k, for daily use and prefer something hardcore or tahan lazat type cause i'm hardcore outdoor person ....

[G.MAC]

PAM104. Luminor marina auto. If not 112,000,111,005 for manual. These are the more popular luminor models.

20k watch that tahan lasak and for hardcore outdoor person?  Bro, get a g-shock for your hardcore activities... and a pam for casual wear if you desire....

[TheHobbit]

If you guys look around, you can find some bargains out there. The PAM00367 for example is not a popular se/le model (at the moment) and can be had at perhaps RM2 to 3 k over retail, which is not too bad as it is about the PAM00111 price new. The PAM00199 is also selling at about it's retail price and it is a SE model. Just not very popular. Have to look and sometimes be there at the right placec and the right time. Like I said, there was a PAM00024 that sold for RM 10k a couple of month back.

I think i will be crossing this 112 vs 000 bridge ..am enjoying all the different views here.

BTW, anyone here knows if there's difference in the intensity and longevity of the lume between the sandwich and painted markers?

[Fei]

The painted dials have a brighter and longer lume, but that's what I have read and don't have a painted dial PAM to verify. Only have a sandwich dial PAM, still trying to get funds to get a painted dial PAM Radiomir.
