"Awesome, totally awesome, dude." :thumbsup:

[dman]

Thanks boys!! It really does not wear that big Ed. :cheers:

[BruceS]

Daren, I think you've fallen off into the black hole of the dark side mate. It DOES wear that big!! :dummy:

[dman]

No it doesn't wear big, but the Rolex is a bit small. :lol: :lol:

[JJ Irani]

No it doesn't wear big, but the Rolex is a bit small. :lol: :lol:
40 mm is virtually PERFECT for almost any-sized wrist!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

40 mm is virtually PERFECT for almost any-sized wrist!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Speak for your bald self JJ. :chuckle: I like the 44mm size personally. :thumbsup:

[BruceS]

I'm wearing this 39mm beauty today and it doesn't seem small at all :thumbsup:

I like the BM , the Pams and the YM. None of them seem small, there is a small adjustment period, but I like all of them. :thumbsup:

[BruceS]

The BM definately isn't small! I think you're right. There's a place for them all, and it only takes a small adjustment period. When I wore a Panerai everyday, this Breitling seemed tiny. But lately, I've been wearing the BM mostly. It's all a matter of perception. I never wanted to loose my ability to wear a "normal" watch. I do think that is a problem with Panerai, and these guys keep buying BIGGER ones, like 47mm.

Oh, my AD called to say they had a Marina Militare Destro in. They were keeping it in the safe and just calling "special customers" about it. I wasn't interested at all, but while I was there one day I checked it out. It's bloody HUGE. I just don't understand paying $9500 for a watch with the same movement as a $4000 111. I think some of these guys have gone off the deep end :dummy:

[dman]

The companies are trying to capatilize on the popularity, you are right that much premium is crazy for the same movement.

You gotta admit though, the 217 is quite a looker.

I do like all of them, I just happen to reach for the Pannies 5 out of every 7 days or so. :thumbsup:

Speak for your bald self JJ. :chuckle: I like the 44mm size personally. :thumbsup:
That was a generalised statement, Daren. The 40 mm size is somehow kinda universal.....good enough for most wrists - large or small!!:thumbsup:

[tpearman]

Great looking new watch, Daren. I like it a lot (especially because it's a GMT, and you know how I love the GMTs!):thumbsup:

[dman]

Thanks Tim!!!:thumbsup:

[mailman]

Awesome watch and pics Daren. :thumbsup: I always wondered how the crown guard on the Pannies is on the wrist?

[dman]

It is never a factor Paul. That is the beauty of the straps, you can keep them tight enough so that they don't slide around, yet the band lets your arm live.
