Icon7 Hi Guys, does it make me one of you guys?

I collect mostly Rolex. But I do love the style of Panerai and in the near future will be purchasing one to add to my collection. As for now, this is the closest I have hahaha.

What do you guys think abut this Citizen? I love to hear from you experienced Panerai owners.

The size is 44mm. It's called Citizen Grand Signature. I got two different colors. I believe I paid around $5xx for each approx a year ago and now the price for them went up to $8xx I think.

I wouldn't call it a Panerai knock-off, but it is a nice watch - welcome and congrats

Nice watch. Panerai is a good brand but one that is over exposed in my opinion. Too many models, repeats of Limited Editions, no availability on hot watches, most drop like a rock in the secondary market. With all of that said I purchased a 422 a few weeks ago and really like it. Got the right price, owned a lot of straps from previous ownership experiences and I am enjoying the watch. I am also looking at a 389, 47 mm diver, but two may be my limit. Do your research, try it all on and get a good price. You will be fine. Good luck.

Citizens are solid watches. Some eco drives tick forever.

Sorry to the OP, but this doesn't make you a PAM owner. It's not a PAM.
