Jay (Eire)'s original post captures the simple joy of a watch on the wrist, a feeling many collectors can relate to. His reflection on the enduring appeal of 'base is ace' Panerai models, even amidst a strong pull towards vintage, offers a relatable perspective on evolving collecting preferences. This piece explores his personal journey with a specific Panerai reference, highlighting the often-overlooked aspect of wrist comfort over time.

It’s 11 years ago, I still love this watch.
Except after a few years I also realized it’s was ridiculously large on my wrist. It was the longest time I owned any 47mm so that’s perhaps why I’d not figured this out years before !!!
...whatever happened to the king of 47mm? J-F. Did you know him, is he still collecting watches?
