Arie - Mr Orange

Regularly I see posts from forum members 'complaining' about their spouses 'stealing' their watches. Well.....I've got something new going on right now. My mother.
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 got an excuse for replacement

Now that is truly novel...
One is never safe, it seems So what are you replacing it with?
Now that is a totally new level of game (war?). :)
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.
I see a new advertising campaign for Panerai right there
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!
You are actually very right! Panerai is failing to see the gigantic market they are not targeting now.
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!
You can always get her a...
slimmed down, super duper Panerai Due 42mm and watch her go..goo-goo/gaa-gaa and give this one back...hahaha
You laugh......I just lost a watch..... :-(
But you are right; it is a blessing indeed
LOL
I would have never guessed she would \'take\' it from me. But I guess Louis6 is right.
LOL
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...
OMG!
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...
Me too!
I will be able to enjoy it on my mothers wrist which is probably better than having it on my own wrist!
The green roadrunner is out.
Unless......I can convince mom to buy one and pull the same stunt on her
