I've noticed PAM wearers are more discerning WIS types in general. Not taking anything away from my Rolex bretheren, but a lot more people wear Rolexes who have no passion for the brand unlike PAM owners who generally know exactly why they're wearing Panerais.

That said, I'm still sticking to my oysters.

Ahh I hear my Sea Dweller calling............. can I say that on the Panerai forum.

I must admit I like the blue face Regatta shown in another post maybe the SD can go on the back burner until I grow older.. :

Can the Panerai be worn on suits? For some reason the strap makes me get the feeling that the watch is more suited for social occasions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I wear the Omega Moon manual winding watch presently.
Im got my first pannie at the age of 27 2 years ago (and wants to buy more) ....the best thing with a pannie as compared to a typical luxury watch is that its so easy to change the straps and is readily available in the market. and a wide selection too

Change the strap of a pannie......Boom! You got yourself a new pannie!

I'm in my late 20 and just picked up a PAM 312. I love the versatility of being able to change the strap for a different look. What Carlo said :)

Cheers,

I find Panerai's design to be more catered for the younger generations, and Rolex for the older..
I'm not sure what it is, maybe the size?

Don't get a Panerai... Rolex is much better... plus if you ever need to sell your watch for cash... trying selling a Panerai in a secondary market... its tough.

My thoughts exact - I joined about a week ago and was surprised to see the "Panerai's are junk" post and now this....
