Officine Panerai - I do have difficulty buying just one reference...

I do have difficulty buying just one reference...

If a make grabs attention, what tends to happen to me is that i do some research (or as my wife says, i shut myself away for days) and then i work on an instinct. I look for which watch calls to me loudest. In this instance, there were two that called, and i bought it. Now, what usually happens next is i will feel that the watch will get "lonely" when not being worn and so will need a soulmate to keep it company in the watch box. Rolex cane be quite a bully, especially when there is a gang of Rolex. So i will start to think about what will keep my Panerai company. Now, the second watch is usually something quite different to the first...so nuance is not an issue. It will tend to be something that is quite different. This is exactly what happened to me in Rolex. I started with Daytona, but then got a seadweller to keep it company...and then.... and then...and then.

So my prediction is that I already know i will buy another Panerai...and already know which one. Just a question now of one of the best parts of collecting watches......

HUNTING.

What a weekend.....

Well, this weekend was always promising to be fun. Spending time with Nicolas in the warmth and beauty of Paris was always going to be fun. So too was the idea of picking up a watch that I had fell in love with some months before. But, this is not a Rolex...

Congrats!

Watches indeed are more than watches, they create some great friendships. And they allow us to share some pure moment of intense madness, too, don't you think? Though, this is a dangerous game when 2 mad men gather, as it lead us to the most unreasonable ...

Way to go....

not a bad way to start the Panerai collection, congrats. Be careful (or not) because them Panerais are addictive as hell and soon you might replace 2 Sith Lords, into a whole lot of...Jedis.. Cheers

That is an impressive piece for starters. If you could look towards the PreV pieces, maybe a 201/A may be a good partner to your 36. Or, a nice Radiomir, perhaps a 232,249 etc. I thought initially of the PreA Mares and 301/A, however they would look like ...
