I love the collab they have made with other companies
I like the way you look at the spirit and dna of Panerai ... I my self enjoy the collaboration between them and other companies angelus Rolex GP jlc, also cool that they are creating there own movements now
What is your point of view about the Luminor Due 38mm?
As you know, Panerai introduced this year at the SIHH new Luminor Due pieces including 38mm versions. I would like to get your point of view. Of course, we understand the objective from Panerai: to attract customers with smaller wrists. The slender Lumino...
I like the idea, and the watch.
I need to see live and feel it on my wrist, but I guess I'll like it. Best, Vte
It seems to be straying from the DNA of the brand.
Not the first time. Many years ago I had a 40mm Luminor. It was really perfect for my wrist, but it didn't feel like it was a Panerai. I got rid of it and got a 44mm-which was too big so I got rid of that and have stayed away from the brand ever since! To...
I’m not a Panerai fan so I think my opinion is unbiased
For me, Panerai means big and bold watches and I don’t think a 38mm new model is “logical” regarding the roots of this brand. Nevertheless, profit and competition pressures, when you belong to a listed company, mean that you have to “innovate” if you want...
Size does matter..
The seasonality of size may impact not only profitability but survival with brands that are known for its size more than anything else. In Panerai’s case, it may not have a choice (even if it wanted to pursue being a niche operation.. even the volume ther...
I haven't quite made my mind up....
between the words travesty and sacrilege. My..personal..opinion is: I wish I had died BEFORE seeing this That being said, if the balance sheet of Richemont will benefit from this...appalling...decision and the shareholders will laugh all the way to the ba...
Without "disturbing" the 40mm of the 62...
the recent history of the brand has based itself on the 40mm size. The most produced models (in terms of pieces) since the take over in 1997 have been: PAM048-049-050-051. All of them 40mm in size and all of them produced in tens of thousands of pieces Wh...
I happen to like the sub 44mm Panerai's..............
And have always thought that the 40mm luminors wore better on my wrist than the 44's as shown below. The 47mm pams and above look totally ridiculous on me. In any event I look forward to seeing this one in person as it looks kind of cool, I'm guessing its...
I'm not a Paneristi, and have no issue with the 38mm size.
One thing really bothers me, though. What is the point of having a crown guard and offering only 30-metre water resistance?
Good question.
Panerai is such an interesting case study to me. In a way they are a victim of their own success, but really they are also a victim of their own inability to provide variety earlier in their history. I hear people say “it’s not Panerai DNA.” Well, what ex...
Not an issue for me.
But not for my personal taste. I have worn 44mm and 42mm. I didn’t like the 42. It was comfy but I wanted a substantial wrist presence.
Yes, it is all a matter of preference based on your own tastes.
I have little doubt you physical measurements play a role in these preferences, as well.

Panerai has a limited design language (only a few strands of DNA), so anything they do to extend that is great.
This is really the most minor thing for people to get upset about. I think it's great. I hope they start to actually make different looking watches that take Panerai DNA and update it or twist it or change it -- taking a necessary chance. If done well, it...
But I like wailing!
Please don't throw Brer Spangles into that ol' briar panerai patch!
I quite like the idea of having a 38mm Pam..
Partly because I have a small wrist.. If I get one of these, I could even share it with my wife, who has even smaller wrist..
I like the diversity...
Honestly, heritage and niche market aside. I feel there's a limit as to how much u can vary if you only want to make one kind of watch. Dressier options like how the datejust and cellini is to the Rolex line would be great for Panerai. So I appreciate the...
