When you have the watch inches from your face, it looks big, but step back and look in the mirror and it is money! I would seriously love to own one. It is supposed to be a "little" big.

On my wrist, took a few pics of the strap that comes mounted & just put on the alternate. Will have pics posted shortly. Fabulous piece & it winds oh so smoothly. Can't wait to get some nice ammo leather on her (and the 74 I ordered yesterday). Piotr is already building a 26mm coin buckle for me.

She looks great on you wrist

Now you only need a few selected straps to lift her off

HDHNTER · 20 June 2012, 03:51 AM

Thanks! I ordered Polywatch the day I got back from Atlanta, lol.. But the "plan" is to let the crystal develop a natural patina. Not sure my clean crystal OCD will be cool with that plan though...

toulouse · 20 June 2012, 04:00 AM

That looks perfect Allen!

Huge congrats!

HDHNTER · 20 June 2012, 04:11 AM

Thanks Tony.. I am thrilled to say the least.

Looks superb on your wrist, it's a special watch that's for sure. Wear it in the best of health.

Congrats again!

Great Watch...Enjoy

It was my first plexi and first manual wind...I still get a kick out of winding it...The vintage dial is a ton of fun too

Congrats Allen. Does it feel big? I saw and handled one and it wasn't as big as the 217 the salesguy was wearing.

Thanks! No it does not feel big at all. Honestly, it wears smaller than my 312 due to the thinner profile. Just wish my aftermarket straps would hurry up & arrive... OEM straps are way too short for my liking.

Excellent watch brother.. Love it! Thinking to get one also...

I have 1 question about te 372 plexi? Is it really easy to scratch? I read that just wipe it with cloth is possibble to have swirl? Hope u guys can give answer...

Just wondering if panerai discontinued 372 production and make it limited... Hahaha.... If this happen so lucky all the people bought it..

HDHNTER · 27 June 2012, 02:42 AM

Plexi does scratch easier but I wouldn't let that sway a purchase decision. The warm look it provides compliments the 372 perfectly IMHO & any fine scratches/patina developed over time will only add to the watches vintage character. No swirling noticed when wiping mine down but Polywatch works great if you want to keep the plexi looking pristine. A spare crystal also comes with.

No, it's not discontinued... O's are shipping now, 2500 in this series if I remember correctly.

Guys, how do u set the signature?!

BUT I am a more educated strap addict now & have found my preferences. I could be quite happy with 5 or so straps for the 372 vs the 13 for my 312. Atleast that's what I'm telling myself.

Clicker User CP upper left corner & then Edit Signature under the Settings & Options tab.
