Hi Jester...............

I started with 119 since I was a little bit concern about the case size that I could carry on my wrist. Keep in mind that before my encounter with panerai,  38 mm (IWC mark IV) was the largest that I went for. I really liked the feel and the look of the watch and start wondering about his big brother 44 mm. After trying 86, never looked back at 119. There were two things though that I really did not like about them; magnifying  date glass and wobble that you get from the rotor of 7750.

start reading about the past history of the brand from different sources, decided that hand wound is the way to go so decided to unload 119 and 86 and get 05 and 249. I was lucky to get the 05 at list price from an AD, but 249 was different story. I paid well above the list price for 249, but I think it worth every penny.

Thanks,

Ramin
