Officine Panerai

My mother came visit us (my daughter) today, stayed for dinner. Confiscated my PAM574. Stated during dinner that she received the watch as a gift from me. And now she's gone. With the Panerai. So I'm down one watch. The upside: my mother is happy and I've...  

Sob sob....the thought is heart breaking. J

One is never safe, it seems So what are you replacing it with?

Which might be even harder to win, I'm afraid... But it all sounds logical to me. The unrivaled legibility and lume make your Panerai a perfect watch for the seniors. And the bright green strap makes your mom feel energetic and younger.

The unrivalled lume makes it instantly legible for your old eyes; the hefty weight on your wrist makes your old brain remember you have a watch on. Panerai - the perfect companion as you ride off into the sunset of your life!

Proof: I asked my mom yesterday how she felt about the watch. Answer: "Love the legibility and that lume is so beautiful in the dark!" So Panerai turns out to be the perfect 65+ watch!

slimmed down, super duper Panerai Due 42mm and watch her go..goo-goo/gaa-gaa and give this one back...hahaha

That one may not go down as well with spouses as the Patek version

But you are right; it is a blessing indeed

I would have never guessed she would \'take\' it from me. But I guess Louis6 is right.

Were you wearing the watch when she confiscated it? That would be .... brutal. A new level of threat for all of us!!!! :-( I don\'t know how developed her "watch taste" is? Perhaps try it with a "Happy Diamond" quarz on your wrist next time? But I\'m afra... 

Plus; she already has one of those.

So even that would not help! Last attempt: you could tell her that in former days the luminous material used to be radioactive, and you believe - but you are not 100% sure - that today of course this never...

Hope is the last to die. Best, Thomas

I will be able to enjoy it on my mothers wrist which is probably better than having it on my own wrist!

Unless......I can convince mom to buy one and pull the same stunt on her

Sounds like a good excuse to get another!

Great story
