Love the 422, however love the 372 more :p jk

Congrats man

BTW JV looks great, however not such a big fan of the tapered version !

What do you mean the 'holes' are too small?

You mean between the lugs, Aziz.

I have a feeling that the JV is 27/22 for 47mm Radiomir's and not 26 for 47mm Luminor's that's why.

Return it to your AD and ask for the proper one , if it's possible.

Congrats on a great choice. The few i have seen, mine included, have serial #'s under 200which tells me that Panerai is slow to release these. My OEM strap sits in the box as I don't like the 26/22 taper at all on that size/weight watch. I don't see why they did not release the watch with two nice leather straps like with the 372.

Enjoy the new 422 !

sorry i meant the strap holes are too small the size between the lugs is perfect ! but i agree this strap might be made for a 47mm Rad.
ill pay the boutique a visit tomorrow and see if this can be adressed or change the strap,, i saw a few vintage ones i liked !

i meant the strap holes were too small kind of like the strap was for a radiomir and not a luminor ,, im going back to the boutique and fix the situation.
