Never. Not in a million years. Even longer. Perhaps forever. No. Nope.

I actually started with more Panerai and switched my favor to Rolex. I still enjoy wearing all the Panerai I own but the Rolex tend to get more wrist time.

Bought my first Panerai in 2001. Still only have one. I like them, but they would never be my only brand.

Because my Oldman gave it to me, I never ever flip it in million years.
And for Date 1500, my Grandpa gave it to me. Never flip too.

I traded my Submariner away for my PAM 24...but I'd consider the new SS in 2010 as long as there are NO polished center links!! I think there's room for both - but I think I might prefer the size and look / feel of Panerai.

I started off buying Panerai in 2002, then bought some Rolex Models, now am happy to sell all my Rolex and stick purely to Panerai and my Heuer Carrera Re-Ed.

I enjoy the variety of both brands and would like to add a few others to the mix down the road (Ulysse Nardin, IWC, Hublot, BR, and a few more)

I did flip an Exp II for a PAM Zero so I guess my loyalties lie with PAM...for now.

I have a PAM48 and thinking of buying a PAM88 in the future. But I would never let Rolex go for Panerai.

i got to up my score on the pam. got my eye on the 305. might get it before the 312.

Sorry, got it wrong....8 rollies and 3 pannie only. Must be getting sleepy and typed in the wrong no. But then, again, why did I keep thinking 4? hmmm.....must be power of panerai calling me to get another one quickly!.

+1. I sold my Sub to fund my 111 and couldn't be happier, the Pam gets so many compliments. No one ever noticed my Rolex. But I'll tell you now if they increase the case diameter on the SS Sub and use the Deep Sea bracelet/clasp I'd be all over it!

The only other one I really want is the 190. I like the 243 as well, but I prefer to wear less chunky watches now.
