Another go with the 587.

I have another strap on order, as select members suggested, as part of my effort to better connect with my 587.  But I wore it briefly today to gauge my feelings after a period of time away from it.  For full disclosure, I was also recently came close to also purchasing a 673, but I was concerned it would be much too similar to my 372.


In final analysis, I’ll probably stick with the 587.  Just waiting on new strap, and looking to wear more often.  Thanks for looking.




Pikachu thinks it’s okay.

At the same time, I’m curious if you (and the others) are a fan of the Panerai crown protector, or don’t care either way? I like both case styles, but for some reason I keep wondering whether the MM is more ‘authentic’ on a 1950s case.

The "original" Marina Militare....

appeared on a 6152/1 case which....for the non initiated, is known as the 1940 one. So technically, your 587 is more "authentic" than the 673 and the 1950 cases in general Picture obtained on Internet. Copyrights reserved for the rightful owner. ...

since they are MM models and are in a category of their own (in my book). IMO the difference between 673 and 372 is like First class vs Economy (on carriers like Singapore Airlines, not domestic US carriers lollll). The case is different and better, the h... 

Thank you for your valuable insights, Sergio.

By chance, have you ever handled/worn a 372 for direct comparison? Because if the case is even a modest degree different, then for me that’s significant. Thanks.

I've never owned a 372....

...my "collection" consists of limited editions and discontinued models. I have, however, a 127 and a 605 which use 1950's cases. The 673 has a slight difference in the lugs and that makes it very comfortable on the wrist. The feeling (mine to be sure) is... 

Killer duo!

Just gotta out the right strap on it 👍🏽… I would select the 673 over the 372 anytime
