bonkers at the beginning. Panerai is a strange brand and the fact that most of the model do NOT cost..real..money, you can buy 2 or 3 before you get to a PP and you get a bit giddy I bought so many within the first 2 weeks, I even considered flying to Switzerland to get certified as a cu-cu clock myself

I think the look, the size and weight and how all 3 feels entice me to consider another similar 47mm model aka the 422. I must be crazy!

I use a pretty trogloditic parameter. A Panerai must have 3-6-9-12 on the dial. Anything you take away, makes if worse lollllllllll Everyone of the 422 buyers I know, bought it ONLY for the power reserve at the back...lollll Looking into a Radiomir with wire lugs? After all, they were the first produced. A 249 or a 449 or a 232, 720..etc

I also read several 422 buyer report that while they liked their 422, they are still hunting for a 372...like Nico pointed out the 662 could be an option. The Radomir with wire lug looks nice but still deciding if I like that case design...thanks for your input Sergio...much appreciated.
