So a day into having the Panny strapped on... sitting at my desk reading and my watch is say, six or seven inches from my ear, maybe more and I can hear the beast ticking away. I guess thats what you get for having a watch with a pocketwatch movement inside it.

Yes agree but what a steady reassuring sound,that huge balance wheel could power a car.

Just another cool thing about that baby.

But what if you're on a secret mission? You've just emerged from the water, to sneak up on a sentry and then ....... tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. The enemy, alarmed by the loud ticking sound, turns around and empties his AK-47 clip into your wildly shuttering body. How cool is that?

Fit a goddamn silencer to that watch and let's shut down this thread!!

That wouldn't happen if you were wearing a Rolex. This reminds me of the old Rolls Royce ads which said, "At 60 miles per hour, the only thing you hear is the ticking of the clock." That's probably because they were using one of those loud Panerais banging away on the dashboard. If they had installed a Rolex, you wouldn't have even heard the clock.

Yeah, but you couldn't pick a Rolls then Ed. You would have to pick a "common" brand car for a "common" type watch.

Daren, have you noticed the display backs are louder than the solid backs?
Or is this just me ?

I gotta be honest boys, I don't often listen to my watch.

Thats because S.steel has a higher noise resistance than the sapphire glass.

Plus the "chick dig it"

Picture this, your at sitting with a lovely lady, she asks "What's that ticking sound?"
You can reply
"My dear, that is the sound of 21,800 miniature vibrations in my watch"

"OH, REALLY, Do you mind If I "try it on""

Hey now, Rolex makes about a million watches a year. Panerai only makes about 35,000.

You guys just dont realize the allure of a big, bold Eye-talian watch.
