Officine Panerai

Best, Emmanuel

With the wire lugs these wear well also on "normal" wrists.

and, yes, they make the large case much more wearable than one would think.

A thoughtful and respectful way to approach a brand that isn't naturally your style.  That's what makes this community so special... the willingness to explore and learn from each other.

I love the very clean dial and the “single-section” hour hand!
I'm glad to be starting to better understand the appeal of these watches.
Best, Emmanuel

As a JLC lover (and Omega/Breguet fan) my entire "watch life" of 25 years, Panerai always seemed very cool but just a bit too big and a bit too in your face.  Then I tried one on in the flesh for the first time 2 years ago and I finally understood the passion for them.  Now I am a very proud owner of 2 of them.  I still consider JLC my main watch brand, but I must admit Panerai just puts a giant smile on my face every time I strap it on

I don't know which one you own, but the Radiomir design with wire lugs and “error-proof” dial really appeals to me.

Like you, I am not mad about Panerai's, and only found one that fits my wrist when the 337 came along:

both with a “single-section” hour hand, which I like.
I don’t plan to acquire a Panerai, but I’m glad I discovered these watches and understand their appeal better.

of this brand which I’ve just started to discover a little.
