A taste for lighter watches
It’s a bit amusing how insistent I used to be regarding the heft of a watch and how much I appreciated it. That’s in part why platinum pieces have been a notable favorite. However, over the years, my appreciation for lighter materials (eg titanium, ceramic, hybrids, etc) has definitely increased to the same level, if not more. Especially in the case of larger watches like Panerai (where heft was a cool factor), the carbotech and ceramic pieces are honestly just easier to wear longer throughout the day. I guess the same case can be made for extra thin watches too.
It’s just interesting how much tastes and opinions can change/evolve.

My favourite playground....
....acquiring tastes. The learning to appreciate, vastly different objects, tastes has always been one of my favourite situations. I have quite a variety of models, different materials, colours, side (destros) and ejnoy everyone of them, all the same
The evolution of your tastes makes a lot of sense,
in particular with larger watches like this Panerai. Not to mention that this carbotech (?) Panerai looks very good! Best, Emmanuel
Interesting commentary indeed.
One needs to be a seasoned collector for tastes to evolve. Bravo, my Friend!!!
Great looking combo
I like the titanium Panerai’s as they can withstand heavy duty and they are light. I saw lot of carbon watches smashed to pieces or with big tears from bumps.
