In continuing my previous thread, "What do you think of the Panerai 104":

I bought it!

I put it on my wrist again, and I knew that if I left the store without it, I would regret it for a very long time.

I came to this forum for a Rolex, and I still intend to get the GMT Master II 16710 at some point. But taking the Rolex guys' advice, "What smiles at you", I knew this was the right decision.

This thing kicks! I am simply delighted.

I didn't want to not post any photos, so I took these two with my iPhone. I'll have much better photos for you tomorrow, or the day after.

Thanks to everyone for all your help, and assistance in finding the right watch, be it a Rolex, Panerai, or whatever. Your advice has been invaluable, and if it were not for this forum, I might not have found this watch.

Excellent choice,good luck with it.

Thanks everyone! Today the AD told me that 3 people had requested it today alone! I'm real happy with it - I'm stunned by how incredible it is; and no photo I've seen does it justice!

I will however post some great pics within the next day or so. :D

EDIT: @mfer: I have no idea what size wrist I am. Pretty small I think! I shall measure when I get the chance.

I'd appreciate it. I think it looks great on you btw. When I put on a 44mm Luminor, I think it looks big on my 6.5" wrist, but the sales guy says it looks great (of course he would).

All the best with your 104....congrats

pwrslider · 12 July 2008, 05:04 PM
