You have enjoyed some wonderful watches from Panerai.
I was heavy into them back in the day. Then some management changes and I could no longer keep up with the pace of new releases. I guess I was nostalgic with the type of collectors who were not disappointed to be on the waitlist as it was all part of the fun. Stable prices good community. I did hang on to a bunch of them but don't give them the wrist time they deserve.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
A Little of my Panerai Adventure
Some old pictures from a small part of what was my Panerai collection, I was browsing some older pictures this morning. Below are the 372, 448, 190 and 318. The 372, the last Panerai I purchased. This was the first run, with the Plexi. Very cool watch, ju...

Me too. I’m trying to find something I like…
and then will see if I can trade in Panerais as partial payment.
I did, and this is just a subset of what was once in the collection.
Like you, I had a 127 too. It was brief as 47mm wasn’t really for my wrist. Even still I bought the 372 years later. I agree with your comment about folks being not disappointed with being in a line or on a list for something. I owned a few of those watch...
I’ve had this manual luminor since 2002.
Here doing a wrist check with my 6 year old son. ...
Yes, these would be the two from this bunch of four I would choose too.
I did really love the 372 when I first had it. And the 190 was a long time love, I was genuinely sad to let it go.
I always wanted to get in to Panerai, but never found “the one”
The only one I still admire is the PAM 518. Great journey with a sad ending.
I am still keeping mine and a pile of straps, lol….
Those were the days…good that the 360 remains in your collection, the 190 is special with the JLC movement. Having both the Unitas and Pam’s own inhouse movements, I still prefer the unitas visually. Has been a long while since I pay any attention to the ...
Don't get me...started :-)
But let me say I'm not an addict anymore. I'm down to 12 (or is it 13-14) Panerais these days. From the 30 or so I had at one time, I consider it an improvement Lollllllllll There are days in which I keep repeating to myself, I'll sell this model and that...
