The Panerai box is unbelievable!

hng · 27 October 2011, 03:56 PM

I'm too old. PAM dial is much more visible for me :D... No, love them both really. Which one to put on depends on my mood. Today is GMT2C. Tomorrow is more casual which is my 367 turn.

They are nice. But how often do you see people wearing a Panerai watchbox on their wrist?

Andad · 27 October 2011, 05:41 PM

I only have one. I would buy another if I could find one I liked better.

ExpII · 27 October 2011, 09:23 PM

I haven't pulled the trigger on a PAM yet (soon) but the brand appealed to me in terms of both style and history. The cases are distinct and I do love the variations. While I love my Milgauss, I feel like the Rolex line is a little stale.

I have yet to buy a watch based on what the box it comes in looks like.

If I could I would. When asked about the watch, I speak about the box:)

I dont buy based on the box, but it sure does help me appreciate the contents:)

I feel like I'm a tough guy when it's on my wrist. :)

yeah that is a superstar!

im in a 210, the base rad style just nails it for me as well... hits all the right buttons:
*uncluttered
*matte dial
*domed crystal
*way cool strap retention
*sandwich dial

+you've added some precious metal, classic!

Win23 · 28 October 2011, 12:21 PM

I like them both. I like the feeling when I wear my Pam 312, it just oozes with sex appeal and the obvious wrist presence. I also love my Daytona. I think they compliment each other well and will always have a place in my wrist. It depends on what I feel like wearing on a particular day or occasion. Both are keepers :)

rr-nyc · 28 October 2011, 12:42 PM

I've wanted a Daytona as long as I can remember (1984). I love having it and owning it. Its my most comfortable watch I own but... My 328 gets the most wrist time.

I can't get enough of it. Add another strap and you feel like you have another watch. A 233 is on my list but I might get a vintage sub before

seattle1978 · 29 October 2011, 01:39 PM

I love Rolex but I cheat with Panerai more and more...

I get a lot of compliments about my Rolex watches but usually its "nice watch" or "I like your Rolex"..
with Panerai I already heard it twice: "wow, sexy watch!"
honestly!!

andrew79 · 31 October 2011, 06:48 PM

hm... i dunno, i started this whole pam mania from TRF... Rolex is my root... but somehow, Pam caught my attention more... simplicity of the dial, the brotherhood of the ristis.... just different experience...

We basically follow the same routine.

Rolex and IWC for work days

and PAMs for weekends to play with straps

kilyung · 31 October 2011, 11:35 PM

I have to admit my passion for Panerai has been waning recently. Maybe because I've tried all the ones that interest me or there are so many other brands to sample? 40% of my collection is Rolex but that's going to come down as well. Regardless, I'll always have a Rolex and Panerai in my stable.

B. Doggy · 1 November 2011, 07:53 AM

I love both, but Panerai is just more fun to wear as a whole!

Nica64 · 1 November 2011, 09:08 AM

Love them both, but there's something about Panerai

prullo · 1 November 2011, 09:20 AM

I Wear the deepsea about 70% of the time. Once I pick up a 312 I will have two Rolex and two panerai. I would say at that point I would wear the Pams the most because my 14060 will start to feel small again in comparison to the others.

MrTito · 3 November 2011, 05:02 AM

I often think the comparison is a bit like a German car and an Italian car (yeah obviously Rolex isn't German!). You buy a Rolex for its absolute efficiency, reliability, quality, badge and functionality, whereas you buy an Italian car because despite anything, it makes your heart beat faster.

Only my opinion though.

rad87gn · 3 November 2011, 04:36 PM

I think Rolex, PAM, and Omega are hitting the upper core of expensive watch collecting today. These guys are getting pretty serious and make very fine watches. Eventually, I think they will be pushing in the upper crust of watch making in the next few years.

PAM wise. I love my 112. Great watch. Flawless and is great to wear.
