372 and 422

mborkow · 11 August 2013, 02:47 AM

Which did you get first? What motivated you to pick up the one you got second?

372 first.Love it ! Plexiglass not that practical for work.Got the 425,love the strap....422 has the strap and the crystal.372 for informal and 422 for work...and 425 for whenever Radiomir mood sets in.

Those darn Panerai all look alike.

Love 'em. You have a great collection. Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great taste!
Love all 3 that you have.

The side by sides will be helpful for those deciding on "which one"..

U have a fine taste my friend !! All Heavy Hitters in that trifecta of yours ..

However, those comparison shots help confirm why I went the route I did ..

Can't beat that dial ..

I think having a plexi base and sapphire second-hand in 47mm is a great combo!

Great side by sides!

I guess I might feel different after my first serious scratch, but the plexi makes the watch for me. I've come to think of it as a replaceable element of the 372; hopefully more durable than a strap but not intended to last the life of the case. I've purchased a tube of polywatch but so far the swirls and light marks on the plexi are fine with me: worth the additional warmth.

Anyway, a nice pair of watches you've got there :-)

Very nice, thanks for posting the two together.

Correct,there is a certain warmth and" look" to the plexiglass.Very nice !That combined with the 372 dial and case,makes for one special watch.Polywatch takes care of the scratches.Small dents may remain but you will have to go and really look for it.

Interesting,the 422 and 372 do have quite a different look on the wrist.

422 is a beauty

Ray6Chan8 · 11 August 2013, 02:03 PM

Now, you have the best of both worlds. A perfectly balanced dial on the 372 and that "second hand & power reserve" combo on the 422. Such a lucky man you are,

congrats again
