Officine Panerai

A couple years ago I purchased a PAM 219. I really loved the watch, except when it was on my wrist. It was just too big for my tastes so it left my collection. When Panerai introduced the 337 a couple years ago it caught my eye. It featured the two-layer ...  

A decentyl sized case with some horolgical content ( Piaget movement ) and a clean dial. Maybe one fo the best offer for those who don't want to build an hard core collection of Panerai watches. Bravo! Best, Nicolas

I have always liked Panerai's DNA. The two layer dials, crown protectors (on Luminors) and shape (on Radiomirs), and the general case styles. I just didn't feel the large sizes worked well on my wrist. As a result I will never be a serious Panerai collect...  

I'm sure that, after some exposure to...things Panerai....a 44mm model won't look so oversized to you, anymore. Enjoy your 337... :-) Ciao - Sergio

I'm not sure that I'm going to get used to the larger offerings from Panerai. I did previously own a 219 Destro and found it to be just too big for me. Now if my wrist size were to somehow increase that might change, but I don't think that is likely! I'm ... 

I've always thought that Panerai should also elicit an...attitude....that goes beyond wrist or watch dimensions. With this, I'm not suggesting you'll go after an Egiziano Grosso anytime in the future but, a 44mm vs a 42mm, could come down to...brawn+attit... 

its a great piece and looks good on your wrist... still in your new ride honeymoon?

Thanks. As for the new ride, Hell Yes! I still absolutely love it. What a magnificent machine. I still chuckle a bit every time I press the start button and hear/feel the engine roar to life. The only problem with the CL is that is is causing me to ignore... 

maybe AMGMark? lol! just summer duties with kiddies here..will need another event for me to crawl out of suburbia hell and make it into the City...LOL take care!

A true Panerai guy... Congrats Bill

Since I had a Panerai before I still had a couple of straps and buckles floating around. I did have the brown strap in the pictures custom made for the 337 though. I felt that some of the straps I had were a bit too thick for the new watch. The new strap ... 

Attending our Panerai dinners is not so good for the wallet eh? :) The PAM392 is a great compliment to your PAM337, so hope you get one of those as well. Cheers, Anthony

I suspect that I indirectly paid for the Purists/Panerai dinner : ) From a marketing standpoint it worked well for the boutique, particularly if I buy a 392 in the near future. I've got to admit that at this point I expect I'll have a 392 no later than Ja...  

More soon ; )

congrats on your acquisition. every collection needs a PAM to count itself complete. why not something from its Luminor range, then a Radiomir? I am more a Radiomir guy myself too. Best, Horo

Looks like the pattern for me is Luminor (no longer in the collection), Radiomir (unlikely to ever leave the collection), and now new Luminor. I'll post more soon.

beautiful pieces!

And welcome back.

Congrats again rovermark on your 337. Looks great on your wrist. I'm surprised that Panerai is already going to discontinue this watch. Glad to hear that you were able to pick one up from the boutique. Regards, ED-209

I'm surprised that they are discontinuing it soon soon as well. Funny how it worked out. If I hadn't attended the Purists/Panerai dinner and found out that it was discontinued I probably would have missed out on getting one new. I had been thinking about ... 

luminova dials....but in the case of panerai is almost inevitable given the recent collection. clearly, with a little sacrifice, you can take a preA, A or B, that i love passionately. but at the moment this Radiomir 42mm drives me crazy, and almost certai...
