Welcome. I'm from sunny Singapore!
I think the DUE series look really good
By: Geo : August 29th, 2018-23:12
Of course they do not have the same specs as the classic Panerai models, like for instance water resistant. But who cares; I do not know anybody who dives with his 47mm Panerai. At first I was a bit sceptical, but I think this is a good move. GEO
Is there a typical Paneristi?
By: MTF : August 30th, 2018-04:02
jomni1, Thanks for the "live" photos. The smaller size case fit your wrist well objectively irrespective of subjective factors. You quoted "typical Paneristi". I wonder if today there is such a "person" since we have social media and horology websites tha...
I am not at all a fan of the due series.

The crown protection just looks silly to me. If I want some smaller panerais then i would always go for a Radiomir . But tastes are different and in this context the dues are contributing their part on it .
If you substitute typical with...orthodox...

there are quite a bit. Not as many as the "turists", to be sure, but there are a number of...us...that think: "I wish I had died BEFORE seeing these abominations".
That's funny!

I would probably choose life over seeing these watches, but they do seem at odds with what Panerai was always about. If I want a smaller watch, there are many choices. Panerai is attractive to me for its history and simple, bold design, intended originall...
For me the question is not so

much if we all are diving or not. I think it is more a question whether the case is able to protect the movement sufficiently against all exterior influences. And for me the WR is a strong indicator for this quality. And the high ability of the watch case...
A Panerai that withstands
By: MTR : August 30th, 2018-13:22
just the rain... Why not at least WR 100m? I am sure this would have been possible. So: sorry, not my cup of tea... But that’s just my opinion and I am convinced there exists a market for this model. Best, Thomas
If I would buy a SUV
By: MTR : August 30th, 2018-17:51
it should have the possibility to drive off-road. If I would buy a sports car it should have a minimum amount of PS. Even if I drive just in the city at 50 km/h. We can discuss if it makes sense to buy a SUV or sports car just for the city. But I think th...
This is clearly a dress watch.
By: jomni1 : August 30th, 2018-18:05
No diving intended whatsoever. Crown guard has evolved from a practical implement to a trademark decoration. Can the die hard Paneristi be more forgiving? The brand has clearly evolved and are offering more than just dive watches.
What's the problem
By: MTR : August 31st, 2018-08:33
for a modern watch manufacturer to provide a case with a WR not less than 100m? There are watches for less than € 1.000 which are able to meet this requirements. And there are watches for more than € 50.000 that don’t fulfill this criterion. I wonder why?...
THIS is so TRUE !
By: Walter2 : August 31st, 2018-10:12
I think it is problem for many brands, they dont know it better!
There are a lot more.....
By: sergio : August 31st, 2018-14:55
people that don't really care about WR than the ones that do, that's why! The W.R. is NOT a parameter for the cost/value of a watch. Haute Horology and WR..don't..go hand in hand. When the tourbillon or the minute repeater were invented people didn't have...
WR should be considered as
By: MTR : August 31st, 2018-16:50
a sign of essential quality of a watch. A case should PROTECT the movement against all exterior influences like impacts, shocks, dust, mud, water etc. The more delicate a movement is the more important is the robustness of the case. Perhaps this should be...
For me....
By: sergio : August 31st, 2018-19:11
furthering this type of subject would be a loose/loose situation. Sometimes, the members of watch fora forget that they represent a less than infinitesimal number of watch buyers and all the "pretenses", "must have" are just personal taste, like a tie or ...
That pretty much sums it up
By: JohnFM : September 1st, 2018-12:02
Watches are non-essential for the most part today. Despite the fact that watches are really accessories more than essential items that we depend on for our life, I still appreciate them for their craft, quality, design, and integrity, for lack of a better...
If these absolute HORRORS....
By: sergio : September 1st, 2018-17:06
didn't make Panerai go down the tubes...nothing will: PAM123 PAM185 PAM088. Picture obtained on the Web. This "stuff" doesn't even look, like Panerai. Dig? All the above I.M.O. of course ...
I would dig...

... a separate “horror thread”. Could be - perhaps (!) - also amusing. Shivering, Thomas
Not true :) I do swim with leather straps
By: Ahoi : August 31st, 2018-02:56
If you have a good leather strap, it’s not a problem. 100m should be for me a company value . So not question about it. Like a VW sub commercial : seeing the guy dreaming of driving off-road with a comment: not that I am doing it, but nice to know that I ...
One last point
By: Ahoi : September 1st, 2018-14:43
100m water resistent should be a basic requirement on any panerai . Neither panerai nor us should be discussing something a circumstance like that.
