rolex and panerai........ im worried.....

[rolexgiants]

i went looking at the new panerai store on madison avenue in manhattan yesterday afternoon... the salespeople were really friendly... the store was crowded and they really were patient with me... they showed me many different models... they discount ZERO.... ZERO on all models.... im worried if i buy one i will never wear any of my rolex again.... the 44mm on a strap are soooooo comfortable... i would like to hear comments from people who own both panerai and rolex.... which brand do u wear more..... THANK YOU in advance!!!!! have a great day!!!!!

[rajurama]

Well save more! and get both of them! I am dreaming this stunner cant hardly wait! Im sure you can divide the wrist time!

good question. I love both. I have the GMt IIC and it feels a little small for the first 5 mins after wearing a PAM. But I enjoy both equally. I just couldn't wear a smaller rolex than the GMT IIC with the super case
:cheer:

the nice thing about the panerai is they are mostly 44mm and 45mm... and the strap feels so comfortable.... decisions.... decisions....

I have a few watches and the panny is the only one I need to take off during the day, after a while it feels too heavy.

Well said! I have the same sentiment too. I am pampered by the 44mm size of the Panerai. But Rolex is top in quality. I wonder if Rolex comes up with some 44mm model, I think Panerai will take a plunge in sales. That's for sure I guess.



JMHO.

go for it, giants...life is short...if the panerai speaks to you, then go for it!

I have been to several Panerai GTG's and tried on dozens of models, but at the end of the day I find myself still going back to Rolex. Maybe I have just not found the right one, I really dig the base 00 & 05 models, but the AD's never seem to have them!

I was a Rolex guy at first... but at least for now, I only wear Panerai watches...
They look gorgeous and Rolex is too small for me now :(

[tuisquash]

i like both, but wear pams much more.
this straps virus will get you.

Variety is the spice of life! I want many other watches as well.
BP Fifty, Omega Speedy, GO Diver, and so on and so on and so on.

MY humble collection.

A couple weeks ago, my AD just got a zero in. They are the only AD in my town. Call them if you like to see if they still have it.

I still need to see a PAM in real life to see if i like them.

Is the quality (case, dial etc) as good as Rolex ???

[bigmikebee]

the croc strap is more comfy then the roli's metal bands. they are both different types of watches and unique in there own sense.

Dial and case are incredible. Right on par IMHO.

Same here! MY first purchase was a PAM88 then PAM233, they are getting more wrist time than my Rolllies.
My Daytona's look too small.

[Rolexism]

To me,I have 111 and it's so much fun to change straps and buckles around.

Display case back is nice,and I love to watch it. I always forget to wear my Rolex for sometimes since 111 has arrived.

Ofcourse,Rolex is different ,both of them will give you different feeling when you have them on.

The only thing that I don't like about Panerai is I keep buying new straps instead of saving money for my next watch

What you do is .....think about a real special person in your life that has passed.What would they go with and in a way it will be your reminder of respect.....

hi there
good question.in my case i normally wear my rolexes more often than my one and only panerai pam 104 and thats the reason why when i wear i feel my really feel good and the feel is different on a positive note.i want to do it that way.as if my panerai is special memeber of my watch collection.one panerai is good with me already especilly you can change straps as often as you want...

[dman]

I ebb and flow. But just this week I've worn watches from 36mm in my DJ to 40mm in the SD to 44mm today with the 233. Variety is not for all but works for me.

[mike]

Right now I'm about 60-40 Rolex-Panerai. I love em both.

I will follow your step, John. Daytona is my top priority now.
Yes Sir!!!

Love both brands. Lately, I am all PAM - PAM was my first real watch so, I have loved them for a long time.
