It's never too late

Coming from Rolex ,I'm glad I opened my eyes and bought a Panerai. Such a beautiful watch. I'm enjoying reading the history and stories about the watch. I'm hoping to learn more about the brand from you guys. Thank you in advance.

Both the good and bad of the brand are equally interesting, but for me it always comes down first to the beauty. Enjoy and welcome!

Love all my Pams. Wear / look way different then rolex and have a feel of their own. Tons of strap options to play with! Welcome aboard.

I started with panerai and worked my way backwards to Rolex!

I personally love Panerai for it's great and simple design and because of the fact that it's not so recognisable like other brands. I'm being different and standing a bit out of the crowd that way :)
I also love Panerai unique history and heritage. You can find more about it on these links:
- Panerai History
- Panerai during World War Two
