I need the truth before buying mine. I'm getting close!
My lifestyle-
Daytime = lawyer
Evenings = dinner out, movies, hanging with friends, and of course wife and kids (4 and 17)
Weekends = anything goes
Vacations 4x year = Hawaii to Carib to Europe, etc.

Can this watch hang? PAM 359

Thanks!

very much so..but you gotta get your cuffs altered or wear the piece on thin oem croc...
for your lawyer duties..

rubber for your water sports/vacations

nice calf/ammo for everything else...

that the beauty of PAMs..the straps make it comfortable in all settings...

Thanks! I hadn't really considered the rubber but it would be a replacement for the normal sports stainless.

Panerai watches can be worn for any reason you like. Won't harm the watch, imo (save for construction or ditch digging kind of activity :D)

mfer · 8 October 2011, 08:23 AM

Ha! Any watch with your lifestyle is fine...

marcinthemiddle · 8 October 2011, 08:38 AM

Of course it is...why wouldn't it be?

I think the main thing is sometimes they seem more dressy than sport, maybe because of the leather strap as opposed to a ss bracelet.

brkanand · 8 October 2011, 09:08 AM

All watches are made to be used daily. Why fear? Go, buy, wear and enjoy

Well before the Pam I was considering the djii 41mm, and I didn't really think in the end that it was a daily wearer- hence the Pam

I wanna reiterate what some of the other guys said- the rubber strap and calf straps definitely give it a more casual edge!

No standards .... Wear what you like.

nauticajoe · 8 October 2011, 11:25 AM

Definitely a daily wear. No worries.

Good luck!

Mine probably gets 80% of wrist time. But, there are some times when a SS bracelet feels good.

HL65 · 8 October 2011, 09:20 PM

For me -no as I wear suit and french cuffs--and my passion is for 47mm Panerai's!

BigMac53 · 8 October 2011, 09:38 PM

If its what you like than go for it! I wear a Breitling SO steelfish as my daily, and its a pretty beefy watch. And i also wear a sportshirt to work everyday (almost). I think size is relative on a watch. If its comfortable and it is what u want than why should anything else stop you?

ofcourse it is !

632627 · 9 October 2011, 01:29 AM

The only issue would be the size/height of the case fitting inside your cuffs. The watch itself can be dressy on an oem croc or casual on an ammo strap and is definitely a daily wearer.

johnswatch · 9 October 2011, 02:00 AM

I'll go out on a limb here and say no, not in your line of work.

The Panerai is a very large and obvious watch - not subtle and can look brash. I'd have thought it would give the wrong signals to your clients.

The first time I saw a Panerai was on the wrist of a derivatives trader in a meeting. It stood out a mile.

I love my 112 but rarely wear it for work. I have had a few comments on the size of the watch when I have worn it with a suit so it means people really do notice - and that's not a good thing.

I would err on the side of caution and wear it with casual only.

TSW · 9 October 2011, 02:50 AM

Can't see why not!

dman · 9 October 2011, 03:00 AM

Like others mentioned, it's a matter of altering other things around your watch. It was my daily wear for 7 years and no issues.

vnosh · 9 October 2011, 06:10 AM

Only problem with wearing my PAM 351 during work is fitting it my shirt sleeves.

ArcticMoose · 9 October 2011, 06:18 AM

Sort of.

I wear this for work and any activity where I expect to be sweaty.

And for everything else, this has been the default choice since I got it.

canwatchco · 10 October 2011, 12:32 AM

Get your shirts custom made! That way there are never any issues fitting the watch under your cuff.

When I got my first Pam I was afraid to leave the house with it. Now I wear them everywhere at any time. I have trained myself to protect the watch. I don't even realize that I am doing it anymore.

And, you should have 2 Panerai. One to make a subtle but reassuring statement to your clients, and the other to make a big and bold statement to your opponents!

Cheers.

drtooth73 · 10 October 2011, 12:59 AM

I find that Radiomir can go with a dress shirt.
My Luminors only go with a rolled sleeve.
