convince me

probably a little silly to say on a rolex forum, but i've recently started lusting over panerais.

your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to convince me to go panerai.

Best Regards,

Matte

Simple, bold, different, and dare I say masculine design. I will let the photos do the talking.

They just offer a totally different look over a Rolex, I love Rolex, but a Pam is something special, just a nice looking well built watch, plus you can change the look so easy with straps

Can't argue, Panerai's are great looking watches. Can't seem to take one over a Rolex but I'm sure I will in due time.

Far fewer Panerai sightings than Rolexes.

I think there is no other watch make that has as great a camaraderie and "fun factor" as a Panerai.

Pictures say thousands of words.. Panerai is the first brand that interests me into watches..
Try to Put one on your wrist and let the watch speaks for itself. Luminor or radiomir.

so i've decided that in the coming years i WILL get a luminor base, sandwich dial, sapphire sandwich, no logo. the only question is whether i'll go ss or titanium.

that reminds me, i'll be making a short trip to see some friends in the East Hastings, UK and Paris near the end of the month. are there any Panerai boutiques worth visiting, or any places where i can look at some preowned PAMs?

thanks in advance for your consideration!

Best Regards,

Matte
