Panerai - Health Warning Required : May Seriously Dent Your Wallet
So bought a 112 to compliment my rolex lvc a fortnight ago, as I've been hankering after a Panerai watch for a little while.
Did the inevitable and visited my local Panerai stockist to order an additional strap (assolutamente). Helpfully and suspect cunningly, the very helpful sales assistant let me try on a 422 to see what the strap looks like in the flesh. After a week of deciding and having my wife pinch my 112 as she loves it, I bought the 422 today. I know they said buying a Panerai could be addictive for the straps but this is altogether a different proposition. Both watches are great by the way and can't see the rolex getting much wrist time now - just looks too small now. A true Panerai convert

I don't blame you. I couldn't resist the siren call if the 422 either. Welcome to the club!

If only those 47s looked correct on my 6.75 wrist. I would be rocking. 373 or 422 right now...
Congrats! |

If I think my 6.5" wrist can manage a 47mm, then you can. It's all in the mind!

Having said that ... After wearing my 210 for a couple of days, which is only 2mm smaller .... The 372 felt huge for a couple of minutes ... Especially with a suite and tie for work ... But after a very short while it was fine again.

These days I think anyone can wear any size watch, no matter wrist size. Especially Panerai... The purpose of Panerai from the start was big legibility. It was never designed for civilian wear anyway... a completely specific utilitarian military purpose. We wear them for our own love of the designs and the history. Even with my 7.25" wrist, I'd rock an Egiziano proudly if I could afford it. Wear whatever, it's all fair game.

I need to stay out of these threads. You guys are a very bad influence...
So many great pieces out there. I know it isn't popular but the 393 looked like it was meant for me when I tried it. Just not a fan of the date complication. |
