Here is my favorite shot of my 372 (on a gunny 74).

Great contest. Seeing some great pics and getting some good ideas for future pics.

Great comparisons. Really shows how the simpler dial (and slightly larger dial font) of the 372 makes it look bigger than the 422.

I gotta say, I tried on the 372 at the AD today and the dial is just killer!
So simple, so balanced, so symetrical. Loved it...
You leaning one way or another yet Mike? Or does it change every hour?

For some reasons or just my eyes, 422 looks a lil bit smaller on the wrists than 372. i have to go to try it on (have not tried it on yet, since my AD don't have it in stock). They're both very beautiful watches. i have to own one of them soon.

Mike,
While waiting for my phone to get fixed today, (mandatory 2.5 hrs@ sprint) i had some free time, sooooo....to get out of the heat i wandered into the local Panerai boutique to try on some things, my impresions were:

1)the 372 dial was cleaner & more balanced.
2)the 422 was noticebly heavier (sales person said it was due to the saphire crystal & i guess a bit of the slightly more complicated movement)


But here is the monkey wrench, i also got to try on the 127....
3)the 127 won me over! Dont know if you have one or considered this, but it was lovely! And is now occupying my daydream time

Awesome pics folks!

I'm leaning towards the 422 because of the sweeping second & sapphire crystal.
