*** 372 / 422 Picture Contest ***

I've recently caught the Panerai bug again. Rather than wade through a gazillion posts for pictures, I've decided to host a picture contest for the most compelling picture of a 372 or 422.

Rules: It must be a picture of a 372/422 or exemplify those models. You do not need to own the watch but you must be the photographer. We'll run the contest until midnight EST (-5 GMT) 25.06.2013 to allow those with travel or busy schedules to participate.

Winner: At the end of the deadline, I will select the three most compelling pictures (IMHO) and post them in a poll for general voting over 48 hrs. Simple majority wins.

Prize: A very cool OP Service Case. No 'Risti should be without one!

Very cool idea Mike
Unfortunately I don't have access to one or the other to participate, *sniff...* but I do wish everyone luck - that's a nice little prize Mike has waiting for you...

What a great idea Mike...

Anyways, these are of the 422 that I tried on as you know... but both the 422 and 372 are winners... For me the more I think about it I would probably get the 373 only cause I love Plexi and have a 233... so 372 is something quite different!

Good Luck mate...

good luck choosing the pix and watch, mike.

i don't have any pictures to add of my own, so i'm not entering the contest, but, i just came across this picture on the internets and thought i would share.

i didn't think i would see a PVD 372!

Keep it up guys! Some awesome pics here!! Quick question: does the 422 have a domed crystal?? I believe the 372 plexi is pretty flat as well.

It's a different kind of dome than say a 233 or 127 but the crystal on the 422 is identical in shape as the one on the 372. Only difference is obviously the material. Here's a crystal shot...
