I present my Panerai 753

I couldn't stay without it. Anyone who owns a Panerai, I'm sure, will understand. About a year ago I sold my 590. The reasons? Simple, vintage indices and I needed to finance another purchase (Sub 114060). Not much time has passed, nostalgia and desire surfaced more and more intensely, the pleasure of having a Panerai on my wrist is something unique to me, but I've always known it. However, I preferred to change models, I wanted a new experience and therefore I began to look at Radiomir with greater interest. Case 45, dial as clean as possible, no second hand, screw-down caseback, manual winding, non-vintage indexes were the characteristics I was looking for. I would have clearly preferred the sandwich dial as well. I saw two Panerai watches, the 992 and 753, but the simplicity of the 753 captured my interest more and more. Less is more. I ordered it without thinking much about it and above all without ever having tried it on my wrist (common denominator for all the watches that I eventually bought). I knew I could trust my instincts and I did right. And now here it is, after a few months of waiting for delivery, I present it to you together with a few in my collection. The watch has a clean dial, very pleasant indexes, even if slightly less recessed than the 590 (in my opinion one of the most beautiful in the current collection), superluminova of the same effectiveness. I find it even more pleasant to wind up the 753 than the 590, both for the daily operation. Having a Panerai again was first a desire and then a pleasure that I can't describe, I'm sure anyone who loves Panerai will understand me. It is a watch with which I have full identification. I don't think I'll buy any more... even if I wouldn't bet on it!IMG_0916.jpg

Like you, I lasted less than a year without a Panerai. 3 years later I have 3!! Nothing feels like a Panerai on the wrist. Congratulations

Congratulations! I recently have developed an interest in owning a Panerai. To me it is this clean, retro, kind of quirky look that now has me captivated. I may try to find a dealer this weekend and try a few on.
