Panerai 373
Hi I'm new to Panerai and have for a few weeks been reading the forums and looking at the beautiful Panerai watches they are simply stunning. I am currently a Rolex submariner owner but let me tell you this much from what I have seen so far and just how passionate the Paneristi are I will be moving over from Rolex to Panerai - there are many reasons firstly everyone here are true gentleman connosieurs of Panerai and the watches they produce in very limited numbers and secondly the history and timeless looks are simply amazing.
One such example that has blown me away is the PAM 373 - my goodness what a piece!
I'm due one soon having begged a local Panerai dealer it's looks and historical significance aka2533 made it, after much reading, my first Panerai choice. If anyone already has I would love to hear your experiences of it and ofcourse any wristshots would be very welcome.
I'm proud to soon be called a "Paneristi"

Panerai 373

Wait to see if they won't release it in Stainless Steel. It would be a more
Coherent choice. Best, Nicolas
Ss version would be awsome
Yes I'm waiting to see what the SIHH offerings will be I would love it in ss
SS 373
There's a small chance it might here's hoping they do that dial on a ss model - there a model 374 not released yet either it will be a platinum 373 but with the minute hand or a ss model of this kind or ss373 - it's only logical.
Well.....Happy New Year, first and then.....
You get a wrist shot.... A sunny shot..... And a funky shot... I've opted for an aftermarket burgundy croc strap, because the original brown one it's a bit too "flat" for my taste. As for the watch itself, it's a very....VERY handsome one... Cheers - Serg...
Oh my god
Many thanks Sergio you have a wonderful beautiful stunning watch really incredible the tobacco brown sandwich dial totally Panerai and must attract many looks - enjoy everyday with it I can't wait to get one too.
373 current Market value
In GBP is it near £40,000 ? I can see this unique piece at £70,000 - £100,000 in a few years as you wont ever get it again seeing as it's based on the most rarest DNA of all the Rolex PAM 2533
I, honestly, don't think this piece...
it's going to go through the fatidical roof. BTW, the price is 32,000Euros and I don't see a GBP 40,000 market value as..realistic. The difference between this model and the modern "legends" (21 and 203) is the movement. The vintage Rolex in the 21 and th...
Why do panerais take a year to land
The models are shown in Jan 2011 yet Jan 2012 the dealers have not even received the 2011 models and in a week the 2012 models come out-can anyone explain this extraordinary long delay from show to shop window?
If you're just into...watches....
you'll never understand, no matter how well it's explained to you. Panerai is more a...state of mind...than a symmetrical, business like enterprise..dig? The unpredictability is part of it's...aura...and it's steeped in it's Italian DNA. If you can't reco...
Actually
Sergio you don't know what your talking about I work in this field and beleive you me any sucker who pays over £6000 for an eta movement watch has to be a complete doughnut, hell you paid 32000euro for a 373 what an idiot, let's be frank if your taken in ...
and I thought that...the smile at the end of my message...
might have given a cheerful, light hearted background to my "tongue in cheek"...explanation. I was obviously wrong. I didn't know you had earned a higher education master in some celebrated and exclusive Swiss boarding school, your language is....flawless...
If you're proud to be called a Paneristi, as you stated in your original post ...
You should refrain from posting this kind of words... Which don't demonstrate anything about those watches, by the way, except an unbelievable contradiction with your original post. And I feel free to write these words as I am not really a big Panerai Fan...
Love the PAM but don't sell the Rolex!
Hi Ethan! Greetings from the "Windy City" aka "The Chi"! I also own a Rolex Sub and I just bought a PAM 104, the PAM 104 is simply a beautiful piece! BUT do not make a total switch as the Rolex Sub is still just as beautiful. I couldn't and wouldn't chose...
Just clicked on this message thread....
...as I was bored and I don't even like Panerai (I am a previous owner) but this is the wildest thread I've read on watchprosite. Ethangill what happened? Your thread started off quite natural if not a little exciteable and then you turned into a psycho! ...
Lol
Lol well I came on this site thinking people would be gentlemen polite etc and 99.99% are but when Sergio sent me such an offensive and rude message IMHO I thought no I'll give back in my best English - hell I even complimented him on his watch in my open...
Also
In retrospect I've decided Panerai are quite crap really and no way comparable to Rolex reasons there are many reasons and here we go... 1)Panerai roll out the exact same boring dials every year and change model number - voila new Panerai - ridiculous 2)I...
Incredible!
Ethan you've gone from loving the brand to hating it in just 13 days without even owning one of their watches, it took me 2 months of actual ownership to reach the same conclusion. I grew to hate the way my watch shook violently every time the power reser...
Not that serious!
Watches are a personal thing, I don't know exactly what turned him off but it seems weird. I could never wear an AP as they are not great looking watches to me. That is why I have a problem with people that criticize others for thier purchasers as everyon...
