Panerai My Favorite Reference

Key Points from the Discussion

• The author's choice of shirt colors is often coordinated with his watch straps, though this was not the original intention.
• Despite its attractive dial, the reference is surprisingly accessible on the used market at a fair price, a point noted by both the author and other collectors.
• A fellow collector, FabR, who is no longer actively collecting Panerai, still finds the dial of this specific reference very attractive.
• The author speculates that the case size might deter some collectors, contributing to its unexpected availability.
• The author credits a friend for influencing his decision to acquire this reference, calling it his 'best Panerai buy'.
• Initially, the author hesitated due to the dial, but living with the watch changed his perception, proving that first impressions can evolve.
