Today’s wrist companion.  I’ve grabbed this one a few times this last week, probably driven by the desire for something different after a number of days traveling with a single (traditional) watch.

Sure that this one will break the monotony.

That it will.

What’s interesting is that traveling with it for three + weeks this summer didn’t change my desire for it. Although it wasn’t the easiest companion for suit days and so I did admittedly also take a Furlan Mari on that trip for some of those days.

Do it now…

…there’s no value in waiting. We are getting old and eventually only a 44mm or 47mm Panerai will be useful for your old eyes !!! I have debated on whether an upgrade in Urwerk might be a goal. I’ve always had the 110 on my radar, but perhaps not as wearable as this 105. I’m not following my own advice on that one however. “Do it now” is not what I do !!!

Good advice!

It's already discontinued too. So I will have to find one soon or forever hold my peace!
