505 Opinions
I'm working with one of the well known sellers on my next watch purchase. I'm considering a 505, which would be my first Panerai.
My primary concern is durability. I'm active, and the watch will be exposed to the elements. I've read early reviews discussing possible discoloration attributable to salt water or sweat. Ive also read about concerns that the composite might bubble or chip. Do any of you have real world experience or opinions regarding this reference? |

Congrats in advance,the 505 is great,I never went swimming with it or did crazy sports,I'm sure you can do all that stuff but I recommend to take different watch like a Rolex sub for swimming and activities cheers

Beautiful and unique watch!
Probably not the most durable as a scratch to the aluminum is impossible to repair, but that would take a major shock (I don't recall seeing photos of such scratches). Just enjoy and, as Nick says, wear something else for highly physical activities. |
