Since I got rid of the tiny watches,I have been wearing a PAM every day !!! A 36-40mm watch now looks completely lost on the wrist.

I agree TR...can't tell you how many times I've read about people thinking the DS is not suitable for daily wear...yet mine has been just that since day one of ownership w/ 100% no complaints. I don't think a watch size should be instant grounds for disqualification on the 'Daily Wearer' front.

I have tried numerous 'smaller' watches (40mm and less) and didn't thinking they were any more comfortable than some of the larger examples in my collection. As you point out, it's just a matter of taste. Personally, I feel naked if my watch is so small & light that I can't even feel it on my wrist.

X2, I can't wear any of my "small" watches anymore, all 40mm look too small on my wrist

I don't really know what the problem is?


Oh! I got it..... Panerai is the problem

[QUOTE=VazLube;1149946]Maybe 2000 is for K and 2000 (?) is for L so in theory they can release 4000+ pieces?

I think you are right on that VazLube!... Thanks...

I think DS, DD II & YM II is the future Rolex.

I'm the other way round. I bought my first panerai 2 years ago. At first I thought this is as good as it gets. I already had the next three panerai's planned in my mind. Then I went snowboarding in switzerland. Watch shops were everywhere and you couldn't help but be drawn to the rolex displays. Just beautiful. these things were like jewels just calling to you. When I got home I couldn't get them out of my head. I started looking into rolex a bit more. In house movements, a great history, honorable and very very charitable. I was sold.

My money went into a sea dweller, I'm not looking back. I still love my pannie, but my horizons are well and truly widened.
