I think I still love this baby

at least for now. Since last thanksgiving day I bought first Panerai, which is 88, then bought 328, 270, 359, 305 and 351. Only two left now 270 and 305. 305 is daily beater, and I think it is a bad boy, because it makes me feel every other watch is too small.


This is the bad boy:

Sweet looking 270

I love the 9 on the dial. Gives it a more historic look

Have to agree. I love my 305. But you're right, it made all my others seem too small. So I sold my 233 to get a 217 to have another 47mm. Congrats!

I do like the 305

Can I ask why you got rid of 88?

After I got 270 - it has 12 hour GMT, I also have Rolex GMT2C with 24 hour GMT, I let 88 go. Too many watches, most of them don't get much wrist time, let someone else enjoy it...

Thank you very much for saying - you're right, it made all my others seem too small. Because few days ago, when I was selling my JLC NSA (44 mm), I said I felt it is too small, someone accused me lying - since he never heard someone saying 44 mm is too small.
