Switching it up

In my opinion, Rolex will always take top prize overall. However, I recently picked up a Panerai and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Their history is really cool and I love the ease of changing the straps. It is amazing how so many varied straps look good on a single cushion cased Panerai. Funny thing is I never gave Panerai’s a real look until recently. Posting this mainly for folks that are frustrated with the the lack of Rolex sports models out there. Might want to dive in a bit with Panerai.

I agree. I too, returned to Panerai with a recent purchase. Had a couple Luminor 44mm case models 5-6 years ago and sold them off.
They were too big on the wrist for my liking. Recently found a nice 1940 Radiomir case 512 model and I love it at 42mm.
Like you said, easy to change the straps and so many options to choose from.
I am enjoying my return to Panerai.

I left Rolex a long time ago. So many other brands offer so much with Panerai being my favorite. Nothing like it out there.
