My thoughts...
I've been lucky enough to own all 3 watches you are considering. The 127 flew the nest but the pre A1 and 201A remain. I love the 201A for it's historical value and it just has that something special that's hard to describe. It's got soul. The pre A1 is a daily wearer for me. Other than the 201A , I'm not a big fan of bases. I love the sub seconds on the luminors. It gives the watch more of a military feel to me and the watch face doesn't seem so empty. The pre A1 is just a classic panerai and it's got the thicker numbers as oppose to a 1A. I'd say go for the preA1, less money than the 201A and you get the tritium dial and it is a rarer watch than the 201A. Just my 2 cents.

Great watches to be considering...
If it was me and I had the funds, the 201A would be my choice. It is the watch that started Panerai's foray into the public arena. The tritium dial is fantastic and it is a watch that is extremely wearable. If you were looking to save a little money, the ...

A part from a money aspect, the choice is simple
Out of all PAMS the Pre-Vendome watches will always procure you feelings and sentiments that you will not find in any the Post-Vendome watches. PAM 00001 is best chassed in the Pre-A, but A series is fine too, sort of easy sourced and tends to be an easy ...
