Santos Blue VS Luminor Due 42 (Anthracite)
Currently going to get my next watch, but I am absolutely torn between the two. I know the Due has less water resistance, but I have no plans to take a watch with a leather strap to the water anyway. The Santos on the other hand looks super elegant and the bracelet swap system is just brilliant. I am really having a hard time picking between the two. The Santos looks sophisticated while the Due looks badass. Thoughts?

not really panerai fan mostly because it looks big on the wrist, and im hearing a lot of complaint about the brand so santos would be my choice, it looks good and classy for your wrist 🍺

I kinda agree. What splits the difference for me between the two would be brand prestige, since I like them both. Thanks bro
Santos!
What are you planning on using the watch for? The Due feels like a stylized tool watch (not that that's a bad thing) and the Santos feels like super classy every day. If it were me, I'd probably get the Santos for its inherent flexibility and quick change system. I don't do a lot of things that are going to scratch up my watches (aside from tussling with the kiddos).
But if your life is a little more rough and ready, I imagine that beautiful bezel is going to get scratched up something fierce which could decrease the enjoyment whereas a few scratches on the Panerai would enhance the bad-assness.

I’m not really an outdoor kind of guy. I just want a new watch in rotation for going to the office, and also having something I can take to parties. Thank you though, I think I am set on the santos. 🫡
Due is not a true PAM, get the Cartier (this is coming from a Paneristi)
