RADIOMIR PANERAI 449 : My First SE is here !
 In an endless sea of PANERAI SEs, it can sometimes be pretty hard to choose what your first SE may look like. Yes, I want that elusive 382 and while the pull of 368 remains strong, the only other in my wish list had been the Radiomir 449 ever since it was announced. What really surprised me was the relatively dull response to 449, contributed largely by the OP's strange marketing behavior [ release of 425 ]. While 425 is surely more eye-popping, it takes a little time on the wrist to actually appreciate the understated elegance of 449 with the cleanest dial conceivable and those mesmerizing blue hands. It took me a while to unbox this beauty .. I was in Hawaii when the watch landed and on return, was swamped with job interviews et al. So, all these weeks, the 449 just sat there as I sorted my life out. Fast forward a few weeks, life is good once more and I thought .. What The Heck !! Time to Unwrap and Wear The Heck Out of This One.  With a 47mm Luminor, Submersible and Radiomir in the collection [ along with the much-loved 243 ], I am sitting pretty happy with my Panerai collection at the moment. Hope you enjoy the pics .. Cheers Nishant  On the wrist .. it wears better than the 372. The most comfortable 47mm Steel PAM ? Likely.  And a couple of Black and Whites ..

You need to try on a 232 if you think the 449 is comfy. Even lower profile.
