Actually I mean no disrespect to this Panerai 189 as it happens to be my favorite Panerai made (and I do own this watch) but I always thought that this piece aesthetically kind of looked like the Datograph from a short distance. After wearing a Datograph around for a little over a week there really is no comparison between the two other than the fact that both are chronographs and both have black dials with white sub-dials. With that being said at a quick glance your eyes could be deceived! (Assuming you know what a Datograph or Panerai is in the first place!) It's too bad 40mm Panerai's are often overlooked I happen to think 40mm's is about the perfect size for a watch. This watch in particular houses the famed Lemania chronograph movement, I just wish that the case back was see-through on this piece.

a "poor man´s Datograph" you can find it in here:

Any guess what it is?

even poorer

I saw it in a very small screen.

Now, back home, I'm pretty sure it is a Swatch...

Right?

you know them all

It was on my wifes wrist when I met her for the first time, years ago. It hasn´t bee worn for years.
She still loves Chronographs and the Datograph is one of her favourites,
after she tried it on her wrist.

that it was part of your son's collection.....

... no chance

Just kidding!

But, one is sportier looking and the other is sheer elegance. However, I can see what you mean and the average Joe would think they are both the same. However, if you were to post a picture of the back showing the Datograph movement, the difference and "look" is far different. I admire both brands and one can have several Pams equating to one Dato. But a great post nonetheless!
