Is Panerai a brand for only a young person??
In a recent thread Tyler, made a comment " Perhaps we can say Panerai is the Rolex for younger audience"
Now i'm into my 50's and have been thinking for some weeks now, about getting a Pam as a daily wearer.
Even my wife says that they look too big and not suited for someone of my age!!! She says that I should be wearing a more conservative piece!
Now my question to you, my fellow members is two fold.
1) Is there any member who has reached the magic age of 50 or beyond who regularly wears a Pam (Please enclose photos if you like)
2) Is my wife correct with her view, should a Pam only be worn by a younger generation and that I should settle with for something less bold.?
Pipe and slippers are resting beside my armchair

Nearly there, but
bought a PAM 164 for my dad's 70th a few years ago. He wears it 24/7 and loves it (big numerals are a plus too (IYKWIM),,,,, Cheers, Asi
Well I am not there yet
and even when I reach Fifty I do not intend to stop buying or wearing Panerai's. Look at this way, they make you look younger. Best regards, George
Even if I do not yet get 50 yo
I wear very often my Radiomir as the case is thinner than Luminor and the large dial is very comfortable to read time. I am shortsighed now. And what to say about reading time at night. The PANERAI luminova plate is IMHO the best way to read time. On my b...
Only 2 watches????
If that were the case my life would be over already. Scary thought. Do you have an objection if I do more? Best regards, George
Passion could have no limit George ;-))))
Wear all of your watches in good health. Cheers, Patrickh
Nope!
I can only answer to your 2nd question. Your wife is wrong! You can lay all the blame on me. I'll gladly take all the responsibility. 50s is not old. 150s maybe but not 50s. I also think there are models that are not bold looking. I recall seeing DIsney C...
That is what I like about this site
the support that people give you. He can accuse me too and we can share the blame, no problem for me whatsoever. In a French weekly magazine this week, the topic was that life only really got good after 50 and that is when you started having a ball. I ten...
Yes and No... but majority are younger I'd say...
Arnie is in his 60s as well... but I do admit, you do see many fresh grads 21-25 rushing to grab one to be cool. Then, it's the brand demographics. It's meant to look young and cool. Then when you get to 50, I have also heard a few others saying that PAM ...
I see a lot of older men wear Panerai watches
So it's a brand for both young and old men. However though, I haven't seen an old woman wear a Panerai yet. Cheers, Anthony
I've seen...
a Chinese female movie star wearing a pam in a Hong Kong movie, a 44mm luminor and she is over 40! Saw another retired female artist wearing a pam with diamond batons, again she is over 50...both pull it off elegantly!
Mate, even if it is true...break the barrier man...
There are practical aspects of it as well...failing eyesight requires a bigger dial for one, being vested in 'liquid' watches like pams. I humbly opine that it boils down to how you dress currently, your existing collection and your individuality. I think...
Thank you for all the great replies............
And for what it's worth, my thoughts are the same as you gents.
The watch you wear should not be confined by your age!
There is no definition on what a "young" or "old" watch is. If you are 50, i will not advise you to wear a pink color plastic watch. PAM has many that suits you even if you are 70. This message has been edited by KCKL on 2011-03-19 10:02:58
