The watch that did it.

This is my PAM00388. I just purchased it a few weeks ago. When I first got into watches, I fell in love with dive watches. I do a lot of water activities so it’s natural that I’d gravitate to something robust and water resistant. Seikos were the first few purchases. Then I learned about Panerai. The history and the controversy all in one go 😂

Despite the controversy and hate online..my love stayed true lol!

Now..after 5years. I have one! I am super stoked about this watch.

Congrats on getting a grail!! 🎉

Sick looking watch! 👌😎🤘

Guessing you bought new? I like the passionate base Panerai has but am..

  1. leery of all the fakes,

  2. The size and bulk for my tiny wrist

  3. Steep retail cost if new ..

Anyway- seems like yours can go in the ocean - so get it off the leather so you can enjoy it properly!

Yes I agree! It needs the water ASAP! Lol! I bought it used..I too am very leery of counterfeit watches and so I go with the rule “buy the seller..not the watch”. I got it from a reputable dealer out here so I’m confident in my purchase. And I have bigger wrists so it fits comfortably 😂 Mahalo 🤙🏽

Congratulations! I bought a Panerai three days ago, and I am loving it.

Let me know what rubber strap you go with. I have been looking but haven't found anything that I like.

Congrats again!

Not much of a Panerai fan, but that radiomir case sure looks pretty! Nice watch.

·

I first saw Panerai back in 2001 at a dealer in NZ. Back then the prices were fair, not quite luxury, but significantly more than I would have expected for a watch brand I hadn’t heard of. Fast forward 21 years I still had the itch & took a punt on a 176 & loved it. I initially took a small hit buying via a dealer but this has swung the other way 3 days ago when you know who posted his recent vid saying how he’s selling his current one to buy a older ti version like mine.

That is a beautiful radiomir! I’ve seen some online but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I actually want to get it on canvas. Meh…we’ll see

Oh man! The 176 is the one! That’s the Luminor I want. One of these days lol

Why is it that every time I hear Panerai or PAM I think giant crown guards? Tho I haven't seen any here 🤔

·

That’s a very nice watch sir, i am however on the fence with panerai they’re a little like marmite but I’m starting to like them more.

Enjoy it’s a lovely watch 👏🏻

Congrats on the new watch. I’ve been overlooking Panerai because I have a small wrist. I made the unfortunate mistake of assuming all of their watches were over 40mm. I need to take a moment and visit a boutique.

The new radiomirs are amazing! Definitely check them out! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

So weird… I just randomly ran into a dude wearing one. We talked for awhile and he eventually took it off so I can get a better look (I didn’t put it on though; I feel awkward trying on someone else’s watch but that’s just me). The sandwhich dial really caught my attention. Is it a sign perhaps?

In a love affair with Panerai… hope you love yours as much as I love mine!
