So are there any Rolex owners out there that...
can't stop thinking of getting a PAM!!!!
OMG, I'm so in trouble. I told myself not to buy a watch for a year or two. There are no Rolex's I'm dying to have right now (that I can afford anyway), so I just keep looking around and these damn Panerai's keep popping up. ARRRRRGH!!!!!!!! There, I fell better.

I've got two nice classic Rolex watches, but my next is definitely going to be a PAM 98......I blame Launch Mini for that !

You are a wise man. I too was never a big fan of them until I saw them in person. Whatever you do, don't look at them in person and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER try one on.

Bluesy Sub, GMT-IIC and a Millie all purchased AFTER my Panny 233. Still think everyone with more than four watches should have a Panny.

I started out with Rolex, then Dman influenced me, now only Panerai, but would like to add a Rolex back into the lineup.
Blue Sub or maybe the LV. Trip to AD tomorrow is in order.

Looking at watches on the internet and seeing them in the flesh and putting them on your wrist are two different things, Panerai are starting to really spread out a bit and gaining a very good reputation, when they first came back out i didn't really like the crown guard look, but once you slip one on at the AD and start thinking about them you're going to be a lot poorer
Oh and buying a Panerai isn't the end of it, you then move onto the strap buying, which can end up costing you a fortune!

I've the Pam 48 - steel with black dial on a brown strap, 40mm. Every time I think I want to go bigger I try a larger Pam on and decide against it. I'll keep the 48 - it's a great look and a great watch. But, frankly, I think Rolex is more my taste....

While waiting for a white faced Daytona and the DSSD, I bought a PAM 111. I have since got the DSSD and several other cool Breitling watches, however I believe the 111 is still my favorite. It gets noticed more than the DSSD.

I love PAM's - I have a 177ti but, think about getting others all the time... The only watch I ever even get complimented on is my 177ti...

The 177 is probably the best watch Panerai ever made IMHO $ for $.

My 104 gets more noticed than a Daytona I used to wear.I am not kidding. Most commented upon Rolex,was the Blue TT Sub.Thats what I found.It was and always will be my favourite Rolex that I owned.The most striking Rolex of all. Most commented on PAM,the 231.The 289 I dont wear often enough to get any comments .. |

I actually cannot believe how many PAMs I have acquired over the past year. Oddly enough I still have several on order. I almost agree whith whomever said never try one on. The watch I get more compliments than any other by far is the yellow faced ferrari watch. It seems most people have no idea what a daytona is or a PAM 270. I never want to attract to much attention to a watch because I really do not want to get robbed in the parking lot.
