Who went Panerai and never went back to Rolex?

[Kevin of Larchmont]

I’ve been a Rolex owner for about twenty-five years. When I first got to TRF around 2015 there was a lot of Panerai abuse over on the Rolex General Discussion Forum. This chatter was integral in the opinions I formed about Panerai even though I’d never encountered one in person. Fast forward to 2021 and I saw a PAM 111 in a Rolex AD of all places. I was transfixed. It took me about twenty-four hours to realize that I needed it and now it is an absolute favorite, so much so that I bought two more Luminor Marinas. I still have Rolexes and don’t prefer either brand or rather I prefer them both equally for different reasons.
