Funny........I felt the same way when a buddy of mine got his 112......something happened over time..and now I've got 2 and love em!

dman · 6 July 2008, 01:00 PM

There was a time I didn't like or get Panerai at all.....now I have owned most models at one time or another and have four in the current rotation with two more due to land soon.

I used to wear nothing but Rolex. My everyday watch is a Panerai, now. Hmmm...must be the bug!

No No, stay away...don't do it...close your eyes...forget about what you saw....trust your initial instincts.

The virus is very contagious......

Hey...all I can say is that you have been warned....

daytona_mania · 6 July 2008, 07:29 PM

X3 Big time!!!

I want a PAM292 so bad, but on waiting list for another 6months am told!! One of the coolest PAM's I've seen LOL......Stealth....

skeen · 6 July 2008, 08:26 PM

I really like the titanium Luminor Marina. I believe the retail for it is £3,000 - I'm surely going to pick one up as soon as I can, after my GMT II 16710 purchase!

Thani · 6 July 2008, 08:54 PM

i still think they look terrible, thats why i have 2..

SSD · 7 July 2008, 12:58 AM

Well, I might as well admit it. I remain a fan of Omega, love my Sub and will never part with it, want more Rolex period. And, there are a number of Panerai I still can't warm up to. However, I finally found one that I really like: the 210 and its yellow gold/ pink gold cousins. I like the wire strap "lugs", the thinner "dress" style case, lack of a crown guard, the dial, etc..

*WHEW* That was something new to admit. Sorry for the hijack. Anybody got 210 pics?

Well Cousin,here are a few pics of the rosegold 210 cousin .... (Pink is not the word to describe PAM rosegold,its not pink at all.Its a deep,deep golden colour.Its absolutely brilliant

)

vh_bu98 · 7 July 2008, 01:49 AM

I only like the ones without the crown guard. Of course, some may argue that the guard is what makes a Panerai.

boa2 · 7 July 2008, 02:20 AM

It seems that if you look enough, you'll find at least one model of Panerai that lights you up. Like Mark, I too am a big fan of the sandwich dials.

Wow- those are outstanding!

GMTJOHNNY · 7 July 2008, 09:00 AM

I really like the rose gold model. How much do they typically retail for? [I know...if you have to ask....]
They are my favorite for leather straps.

BigHat · 7 July 2008, 09:47 AM

Panny is an interesting brand and they make some very nice watches. It's good to see people deciding what they think about Panny AFTER being exposed to the watches as opposed to those in other parts of TRF that trash them and no ZERO about them.

I think all watch nuts should own at least one. Both the Lum and Rad are nice.

aristal · 7 July 2008, 02:31 PM

i was successful in converting my dad into liking PAMs too :)

stuttgart · 25 July 2008, 04:18 AM

I like Panerai because of the size, it looks very sharp.. but movement is not as good as Rolex.
