Daily wear Rolex vs Panerai
Curious of what others prefer for daily wear. A Panerai GMT or BLNR. And why?
The reason I asked is because I owned both and spend way too much time contemplating which one to wear every day before getting ready for the day. |

BLNR.
Simply because I much prefer that watch to your alternative and the BLNR is incredibly versatile for nearly any situation. |

BLNR because of proportions.

I have a BLNR and looking at the PAM 335. I think PAMs look more unique, but Rolex is probably more durable.

Easy algorithm for me: if long sleeve shirt then BLNR, if short sleeve shirt then Panerai.

BLNR, though I think both are perfectly suited for an everyday piece.

BLNR per my taste..
When wearing Panerai I gravitate towards the plain divers or radiomir without complications.

I've had both GMTs, and both are perfectly fine for every day. Flip a coin.

Here are the 3 watches that keeps me contemplating every morning. The Daytona is reserved for special occasions and weekends.

My dilemma is I have 8" flat wrists. I love my sub but it does look small. Bought a Sinn U212 which is 47mm with short lugs, and even that doesn't look big on me. |

Take some pictures tomorrow. Have you tried the Pam Submersible models? They're 47mm. I was thinking about getting that next. But, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wear my Rolex anymore because they'll feel too small. |

The Daytona and Pam are casual only watches and the GMT could arguably go with some formal wear. Thus I would wear the Pam as a daily and keep the GMT fresh for suit days. Personally I would take advantage of the crazy market and sell the steel Daytona to get a fairly cheap upgrade to a gold Day-Date or Sub. Daytonas are too busy for formal, so it seems like a great time to swap one for a gold Rolly and diversify your options IMO. My 2 cents. |

I much rather wear a GMT or Daytona over any Panerai.
I've since (very) long sold off any Panerai I had, it was fun for a while. |

Every time I put on the Rolex after wearing a Panerai and the Rolex feels very small. Especially the Daytona. Is the trend now to wear a big or small watches? |

I think a luminor on a black strap is more versatile than most sport rolex, but that's just me :)
