Nothing beats the Fiddy sold it in 2007 to fund a Patek 5070. Afterwards had some other nice variants including the 372, but finally got another one last year.
I really miss this Panerai a lot. Yes even though I do have the PAM203, this PAM127 I still miss dearly. If I remember correctly, the PAM127 is the original and the first Panerai that housed, at that time in moment, the "new" 47mm Luminor 1950 case and al...
To own this beauty, as I chose the brother, PAM217 instead.. Even though the 217 was a rarer, more intersting with MM dial and being a destro, I find that it lacks the charm the fiddy has.. The more old-school movement finish with "PANERAI" stamp instead ...
For me, back then I had my 127 & 203 & 217, when I wanted to reach out for a 47mm Luminor, I would ALWAYS pick the 203 or the 217 hence the 127 hardly get any wrist time. That's essentially how I justified passing mine on to another good home and ...

If I ever get a PAM372, which I REALLY REALLY want to get one day, I know I won't miss the PAM127 at all. Why? Because I feel the PAM372 is a better looking Panerai than the PAM127. Cheers, Anthony
Strange that the topic of the Fiddy has come up - I have one on my wish list .... Just trying to get my mind (and my wallet) around the big numbers they are going for these days..... Seeing that the 372 has in some instances been compared to a 127 - is it...
Same boat, Nothing beats the Fiddy sold it in 2007 to fund a Patek 5070. Afterwards had some other nice variants including the 372, but finally got another one last year. The perfect Panerai! Regards Rene
