I've always wanted a Rolex and a Panerai. I knew which model of sub from the start.
My first Panerai will be a 112 :) |

I wore Rolex exclusively for about 15 years, then I found PAM, and that made me look even further into other brands. I still LOVE Rolex, but I am venturing out and loving it. You can get a bit boxed in only wearing Rolex.

I'm thinking about it now.
Deciding between Pam 88 or 111 or 005. Classic almost plain or chronograph PAM. |

I'm sorry I don't follow. Chronograph? The 88 is a GMT model and the other two Base 'Historics'.

I was wondering the same thing. Also, kinda tactless to say something that brusque in a PAM subforum.

After years of owning Rolexes, I bought my first Panerai (PAM292) last Christmas. I love it and it fits nicely into my collection but I don't see myself flipping.

Legibility
I love the legibility of Panerai, day or night! It bothers me that my SD is not legible indoors. But once outdoors and especially on an overcast day or at the beach the SD shines. I think the new EXPII is Looking good on the lume and legibility front.

I started with Rolex and still intend to keep the ones I already have. But I have since acquired an IWC, a couple of JLC's, a Speed Master, and my latest a Panerai.
I think there are alot of brands out there that bring different things to the table. I like having a bit of variety.

Simply put YES... Although I must say I had some prodding from a couple of friends here on TRF I had eves only for Rolex for the last several years but have needed to broaden my horizons. The more I learn about Pam the more I like them However thats not saying much because I know next to nothing at this point

I started out with a few Tags then moved to Omega. After a while I moved to a Rolex datejust then PAM 111. Now I am looking for a submariner for my next watch. I often find myself looking at IWC and JLC watches from time to time. I am very happy with my PAM 111. My 4yr old son chose it over the submariner. I told him whichever watch he chose would eventually be his one day. He liked the see through case back of the 111. It took me a little while to get used to winding the watch but overall I am very happy with it. I wear it on the weekends.

Just switching strap back to bracelet tonight on my PAM. I got to admit I just love the mechanical and aesthetic look of the PAM. The movement, looks and the ability to swap straps really make it an incredible watch.

Was given a Rolex when I was young.
When I got Older I was attracted to Panerai (among others) and went anti-Rolex. Then sold all my Panerai and now built my Rolex Collection. Coming full circle and want to buy 1 Panerai (again) to round off my collection.
