Panerai Comments

[writer]

I have been wearing my 210 for a couple of weeks now.

Totally different comments from co-workers compared to when I wore a Sub.

When I wore the Rolex, I heard the following:

"How much did you pay for that?"
"How can you afford that?"
"Is it real?"
"Did you buy it in Canal Street?" (street in Manhattan where fakes can be purchased)

With the Panerai, I have heard the following:

"What time is it? I can't quite see it."
"Why are you wearing a pocket watch on your wrist?"
"That thing is huge!"

No one at work has a clue that Panerai is a luxury brand. I kind of like that.

Ain't it cool? :thumbsup:

So far I've only had two unsolicited comments. One from a guy at a party who said, "I guess with that watch you can't use the old "I didn't know what time it was" if you're late for a meeting."

And the other was at my AD when the sales guy pointed out my watch to a guy who was considering getting a PO but was unsure of the size. He said, "you think the PO is big, look at that guy's Panerai."

Otherwise, it totally flies under the radar. I love it. :smokin:

When I wear a Rolex I usually get comments like "you must be rich" or "is it real?" When I wear a Panerai I hear "nice watch" or "thats the biggest watch I've ever seen" or the request " can I try it on?"

I have had the above comments on both.
In Disneyland, on one of the dark rides, I heard the people behind me ask each other " What is that glowing thing on his wrist?"

I had a "client" comment on my Panerai, just in general, so I take it off & show him.
About 6 weeks later, I meet this fellow again, he has taken the time to research the brand, the history etc. I thought that was cool
