Would love to hear from current or former owners on their experiences with the 422. I think it's a beauty and am in the process of getting one. Please share the good, bad and ugly!

Travelller · 15 November 2012, 07:46 AM

6154-like case, gorgeous dial, small-secs is

in my book and so is the "sleeper" power-reserve indicator...

If it had a "9" and 8-day PR I'd be in seventh heaven

Glenn, who's about the only member here that owns one, will fill you in

Cru Jones · 15 November 2012, 07:53 AM

What's not to like? Gorgeous case, great movement, small seconds, nicely balanced dial, PR on the back, ecru lume, sapphire (unless you NEED plexi). A great piece.

gregvisser · 15 November 2012, 10:20 AM

One of the nicest out there at the moment. Get it now.

422

Goodwill63 · 15 November 2012, 01:21 PM

Thanks for the positive comments. I'm pretty smitten with the watch and pulled the trigger. It lands in NYC tomorrow. Always a great feeling of anticipation knowing a new watch is on the plane/truck heading toward its new home. I'll post my thoughts tomorrow nite and do the unveiling.

nishant · 15 November 2012, 01:35 PM

Congratulations Dude !!! 422 is one fantastic timepiece ..

red1108nyc · 15 November 2012, 02:00 PM

travisb · 15 November 2012, 07:22 PM

Congrats! One of the best recent intros.

2 Days ago i met a german Paneristi in Berlin and he showed me a few pic`s from the 422 and he told me the saphire is designed like a plexi. He said the watch looks live much better .

Glenn422 · 15 November 2012, 10:24 PM

Greetings from a fellow 422 owner :)

Congrats! You can't go wrong with the 422, I get lots of compliments on it! It feels nice in the hand and very wearable for daily. I love every bit of it. It's on my wrist most of the time lately.

Goodwill63 · 16 November 2012, 11:16 AM

Ok, so first time uploading pics to TRF so I hope it works. Just got the 422 and wow, what a watch! Much better on the wrist than in photos. I am a happy guy.

Cheers! Wear it in good health!

Goodwill63 · 16 November 2012, 12:17 PM

Thanks Rich. I looked at the 372 and liked it very much. The 422 sang to me though. Would have loved to get the 233 but that was out of my price range.

Palmasea · 16 November 2012, 12:45 PM

Congratulations. 422 is one of my favorite Pams. The distortion from the sapphire is quite alluring- similiar to a plexi - but its very durable and hard to scratch!

Wear it in good health!

Glenn422 · 16 November 2012, 01:40 PM

Wow, looks great on your wrist! Are you liking the assolutamente oem strap? I changed mine to a Mario Paci Originale 1938 and it seems to be a great match. Here is a pic of it:

Everything about the strap sings 'vintage' to me and the stitching matches the lume :)

Wear yours in good health!

Shrinkdial · 16 November 2012, 08:14 PM

To the OP.... I love your OP!!

And Glenn nice collection there, and always like seeing Perth across the Swan (??) river

travisb · 16 November 2012, 08:22 PM

Simply stunning!!

I absolutely LOVE the 422.
Congrats again..

One Ping Only · 18 November 2012, 02:25 AM

Great watch. I tried one on the other night an was truly tempted! Enjoy it!
