Why did I have to try one on?!?!

I've been lurking in these parts for a while now and I just can't get away. Today I went to the AD where I purchased my LV and tried on a few Panerai. I had to see if I could pull off wearing the 44mm case. Unfortunately, I could. I tried on the 049 (40mm), 111, 104, 233, and the 299. I would be perfectly happy with a 104 but that 233 kept calling out to me.

No, I didn't buy it today, but I think that's going to be my next watch. After trying on those PAM's I went to the Rolex display and everything looked small.

Against a PAM,they look tiny and lost ..

104 and 233 are both great choices.For the money spent its hard to beat a 104

I saw it at the AD in Fashion Island. Please go see it and buy it so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I was there yesterday evening. I haven't been looking that long, but they have the largest selection I have seen so far. I was just in Vegas and the selection there wasn't very good. If you go, ask for Olga. She sold me my LV. Nice lady.
