The PAM25 was my first Panerai. Loved it, and wish I still owned it. Like the A series you mentioned it was also a t-dial. BUT there's nothing collectible about it.
That said, I would go with a t-dial, and perhaps some will ascribe a small premium to this. I can't remember when they changed from the t-dials, but it ran at least through E series (so 2500 of these out there at least) so the A series is not special in any way and pretty much any of the first few thousand produced give you the same thing.

Yes, spot on Sergio. I just checked the Millesimation database.
I think mine was a F series so that's what had me thinking the production was 400/500 per series.
If you have "investment" in mind, leave it alone.....
the time when every model with a T-dial was...salivated after...is long gone. The only models that might (who knows if or when) rebound are the Pre-V and the Pre-A. This because they use Panerai original "Florentine" parts. The A models are already "Swiss...
