Icon10 Now I'm 100% Sure, I Turn To Panerai!!!

Now I'm really sure, I turn to Panerai 100%!!!
I don't interested with other brands anymore. What can I say? Should I change my logname? From Trurolexer to TR or TruRadiomier?
Even I think I want erase Daytona from my lists.
I'm not a chrono Guy.
With Panerai I feel more FREE. I don't really care what people thinking about my watches. I like Panerai not because they have a famous name. I like 'em because they wins my heart.
Beside that straps make a new addicted.
Not because other brands is not good, many many brands is more good than Panerai. But I think I don't care about that.
That's what I wanna say to you Guys. this is my confession.


Best Regards, TruRadiomier aka TR aka Heru.

Very true statement.

TR, I have been there as well...after my first 111G back in 2004...my Sub never got any wrist time.

None. And the obsession began....panny this and panerai that...its okay as Rolex has stood the test of time...

you'll come back to the Rollie because that is just the way it is...I am speaking from experience and I have been through a 111, 113, 112 and a 252....

You'll find that love again for your rollies...eventually.

Enjoy your Pams in the meantime!

Maybe someday, I don't know when. But for now I enjoyed my Pannies.

Yes,once you slapped a PAM onto the wrist,its all over for the little ones !!

You wont believe,I was still hunting "very soughtafter watches" and I already knew that I would buy a PAM.It was just a question of when.
What I didnt know was how soon after that 104 arrived,the others would go !! All replaced by various PAMs.

Panerai .... I just absolutely adore them !!!

It's true though, now I can't even think about another watch unless it's at least 40+mm preferably 44+

Guys,

I know what you mean, and Ive only been a PAM owner for about a month. Until a few days ago, I was sure that a DSSD would be my my next purchase. But now i'm torn between a PAM 292 or a 287. Rolex is a great brand, and for me the Submariner is the true iconic Rolex to have. I've got that and really enjoy wearing it. But now I want style, elegance and simple sophistication. And there can only be one brand that can meet that criteria.
As Chris says "PANERAI : So Much More Than Just a Watch!"

I know what you mean TR (TruRisti) I still love my 16610 and wear it often. That said, it just doesn't get my heart beating like PAM does. Respect is there, but my love lies with another.

TR, since your switching to the Dark Side - you must change your avatar.
I love Pannies too - although I only have 1 (PAM 104), I was thinking of trading my SS/PL Yachtmaster for the PAM 210 Radiomir. Am I crazy??
