but the attraction is never fully lost as we still come across a piece that has us pulling out the wallet again. Again, nothing matches the Panerai experience.
I bought a 372 when they came out. Loved it but as for most folks age eventually creates shrinkage. Off it went to a good buddy which allowed me to get my Moon to Mars Speedy back!

I replaced the 372 with a 44mm 590 and still love it. But I missed the 372s uncluttered look which landed me on the 562. Similar in a number of ways to the 372 but is also 44mm. Then at a watch party I saw the 0933. Finally a Radiomir in the collection, 42mm with a super cool blue dial and it was an actual ltd edition! Now I keep eyeing the blue 42mm Submersible that came out a couple of years ago. Seems that for my shrinking wrist 42 is now perfect and 44 looks appropriately big. And fortunately I still have visiting rights with my 372!
Eventually you realize that "big" shouldn't be how a piece compares to other watches but what looks big on "your" wrist.
Although I really do like the 590 I'm a sucker for not losing any of the 4 numbers, blue dials, micro rotors and not having a date so at that party out came the plastic! ;-)

I have better pics of it but after looking for them an hour I gave up. It's a very special blue dial which isn't obvious in the wrist shot I offered up here.
