Well, having lost my watch mojo (I believe thats the technical term), I'm set to pickup a pair of beauties on Saturday.

Couple of short flights required, but gonna be a there and back in one day

I seem to have a love-hate relationship with Panerai, but I haven't been this excited about watches in over 9-months ...... we'll see what the weekend brings.

xbox · 29 March 2012, 08:52 PM

Allow me to share some of my purchasing criteria, as you may be able to guess what'll be inside the boxes....

- Have clean looking dials
- No GMTs
- No power reserve indicators
- No bracelets
- Ideally 1950 cases
- Ideally display backs
- Ideally made from something a little different
- Nice if at least one could be an SE

Feel free to guess away

texex91 · 29 March 2012, 09:38 PM

351? The SE...Oro Bianco 376??

topgear · 29 March 2012, 10:04 PM

Would love it to be a 375, but I do have dibs on a 386, whenever it get released.

don't know if it's sufficiently "clean" for you, but, hey, since we're playing, the 382 would check all of the other boxes......

Yeah based on your hints it has to be that or the 368. But you got the 372 which is very similiar, so 382 would have been my guess as well. Major congrats. I don't get the bronze craze, but it seems to be very hot!

I wanted a Submersible 1950, so was looking at the 305. Loved the colour of the 371, but not the GMT hand, then along comes 382, along with all the craziness. Its coming from an AD, as no way I wanted to pay overs for it.

from what i understand, it's not a "strict" 1950 case, but, rather, a new case meant to be a transitional case between radiomir and luminor.

Thats a fair point. Panerai call it a 1950, but it does sit in-between

ocwatching · 30 March 2012, 02:33 AM

huge congrats on the two pieces..enjoy!

texex91 · 30 March 2012, 03:15 AM

Something to keep you going...you are going to LOVE the 372.

Thanks Paul - I'm a little worried about it size, but I must say, it sits perfectly on your wrist

TSW · 30 March 2012, 04:07 AM

Well done buddy, you will love the 372

B. Doggy · 30 March 2012, 04:08 AM

Congrats! Glad you're back in the "watching" spirit!

psv · 30 March 2012, 04:27 AM

Hey, I was going to guess 372 but as I scrolled down the thread...

Congrats on the incoming! It is a beautiful piece with huge presence.

Do NOT be worried about size. Have a 6.25 wrist and it sits MUCH better than my 312 or 351. This 'modified' 1950 is amazing how comfortable it is. I had the same concern but went away as soon as I put it on.

You are going to

it!

xbox · 1 April 2012, 10:49 PM

Sincerely, thank you all for your positive words.

I'm back after a gruelling 4x flight trip that started at 3:30am Saturday morning, that got me home at 11pm, bearly the same day.

Wonderful AD, exhausting trip and thanks to the big-box 382, I now own another piece of Samsonite luggage

Pics to follow, but allow me to say that the 382 is a ridiculously sick piece that I've worn all day today (Sunday)

372 was the box I went to first in the AD - it is captivating without question and somewhat of a sleeper purchase in company of the 382.

I honestly feel stupidly lucky to have bought both at the same time
