Need Help - Panerai or B&R and Speedy
Friends,
I am in need of some help. I owned a 422 a few years ago. While I did love it, I sold it to pick up a Rolex Sub. A few days with the sub, I had to sell it. I am allergic to 904L. My wrist was burring. So now a few years later, I'm craving a new fun (weekend on leather) type watch. So I'm debating, should I buy another 422 (or similar Pam), or should I go with a BR03-92 and a Omega Speedy Sapphire. Price would allow be to do both the B&R and Speedy vs the Panerai. As I was happy with the Panerai, and I'm just wondering if I should just re-join the family, or try something new. The price retention on Panerai is one thing (not the best), but after a few post on a few Panerai forums, I'm questioning weather or not to. The forums seem slow, the outlook on new models is poor, and people are questioning the decisions of the CEO. What would you do with your money?

Pam works if you can pull off a 44

I would go pre-owned Panerai 372 and B&R. I’m not a big fan of Omega.

I've tried the "two others I kinda like instead of the one I really want" thing in the past. It's rarely worked out well for me... haha. Inevitably I end up selling the two and getting what I originally wanted.

Thanks for comments so far. 422 is 47mm, but I'm ok with it. I'm 6'2" and 265lbs with 7.75" wrists.
I'm still torn, as I don't lust for the Panerai, and part of me is saying you sold it back then for a reason. |
