Visit to the Doctor's office

Yesterday I went to my Doctor's (sports medicine) office to follow up on a sports injury... I was wearing my 233. While I was in the waiting room two other patients walk in both of whom were wearing Panerai's as well! One was wearing a 112 and the other a 111. Then a few minutes later a 3 man walked in also wearing a PAM Luminor...

We are all sitting next to each other in a row... all wearing Panerai's... It was really funny...

Nobody said or commented anything about each other's watch....

That's the first time that I have seen so many Panerai's in a room and not be in a GTG!

Oh and the doctor was wearing a Sub Date!


Here's what I wore yesterday....

Perhaps watch forums are responsible for bringing in more business to leading brands!

Hahaha...crazy!! That may strike up an interesting conversation if someone brought it up!! Panerai's have really caught on and sales have skyrocketed exponentially!! It has also attracted so many loyal followers over the years.

LOL. I had a similar case in my work place. The colleague (who I don't know well) was wearing some Luminor and I was wearing my 233. He kept glancing at my left wrist, I was casual sneaking a glimpse at what he was wearing too.

Interesting that when I have my Pam 88 on it always, I mean always, gets stared at. And from time to time I get asked what kind of watch it is or a comment like they've never seen anything like it before. I don't wear it much anymore and thinking of selling or trading it for the 40mm version at some point.

I can see now more and more people wearing Pam in HK, lots of men of course but also a lot of woman too. One day I was in a restaurant and there was a table of 4 young ladies wearing all Pam.

That is crazy. Maybe people who wear Panerai are just clumsy and need to see sport doctors?

Pam owners are sports-freaks yet prone to injuries?
