First Panerai…loving it
I have always been interested in having a Panerai because of the distinctive look but thought the 44mm is too big on my wrist. The smaller PAM sizes don’t do anything for me! Having going through a current health issue, I just wanted to get a new watch as my new daily to cheer myself up. Owing 4 Rolex and being a fan, I was hoping to get an Explorer II but completely forgot the idea after talking to a few ADs since my AD which I acquired all my Rolex pieces is no longer a Rolex dealer. Last week my wife convinced me to try on a 44 mm Luminor in the Panerai boutique and the rest is history. Walked out the store with the new Chrono 01109…just loving it!!

I made an appointment and was greeted promptly when we arrived at the Officine Panerai Toronto Yorkdale. Since I have done my homework with the brand and have already narrowed down to a couple of models, sizing of the watch was more of my concern. The SA who I was dealing with is very friendly and attentive but her product knowledge is not the best. Their District Manager happened to be there who helped her answering a few of my questions. I only tried on 4 pieces before I decided on the Chrono and overall a pleasant sales experience. Got a complimentary brown gator strap and the watch comes with a black rubber, will be ordering a Bespoke orange gator one later today!! This 1109 is my first but I can see more PAMs will be added to my collection!

Congrats, I love it. I used to own a 212 which I regretted selling several years ago. This reminds me of that.
