Panerai Addiction - please help!

Am I just the only one here? I'm addicted to PAMs for sure. I'm reading more Panerai posting that Rolex. Don't get me wrong here, Rolex is nice to own and collect too. My heart is split into: 60% Panerai & 40% Rolex. Everytime I see a Panerai in person, I have this urge to get it now. I think part of it is the BIG "3, 6, 9" DIAL really make me look at PAM much more than a Rolex dial. Can someone help me here?

Sorry, cannot help you.
I was bitten by the bug just over 2 years ago. No cure.
Appears to be highly contagious, Dman , pretty sure infected me.

Not crazy or uncommon. I still own a Rolex, was a gift and is very special but nothing floats my boat like Panerai. I've also become a fan of IWC as well but Panerai always makes me smile. Have four in the current rotation but will do some reshuffling soon as I'm expecting one or two pieces to land soon.

Pride and passion. :-)

I have actually put up my Rolex GMT II for sale so that I can finance my new PAM 000. I love Panerai!

i dont think there is a cure for paneraitis. apparently your only hope is to buy more panerai in order to keep things in check. ive been suffering pretty badly myself lately :)

I like Panerai also. If the the new Deep Sea was not introduced I would be buying a PAM submersible
