For a while I agonized between the 372 and 422, I yet have to get a 47, maybe at some point in the future!

...once you get "into" Panerai, considering the number of "to die for" references, your life could become a..raging sea..of desiderata. Or worse, you could become like Nicolas: this it THE ONE, no wait...that is THE ONE, no wait...damn I'm sure that OUT THERE, there's the one just PERFECT for me......Lolllll

I donโ€™t think any of them are COGS certified and all test review I could find showed daily deviation sometime in the 8 or even 10 sec per day. While I totally get this would not be an issue for a week end warrior, I canโ€™t get passed that for now...maybe real life experience shows better results...all my watches in my collections currently performs at +-2sec so maybe I am too spoiled.
