Dreadful.



I’ll take them though.

Lol...I'm similar, only my Panerai appreciation was originally fuelled by seeing pictures nick c posted on here of his beautiful 372... Cheers nick

Only slight difference for me though is I still love Rolex too dispute my continued frustration at not being able to simply walk into an AD & purchase the watch I want....

Anyway sorry to digress...

You’re absolutely right! Nick and that naughty Mr Jones are lethal when it comes to enabling.

Luxury purchases are an emotional purchase so you should buy what you love.

Perhaps I'm wrong but doesn't Rolex do the same? How many variations are there for the DJ and Daytona? I'll take a new Pam over investing in the stock market right now!

That’s your heart talking and not your brain, which is precisely why we buy and love Panerai
