Officine Panerai

I’ve been wearing the Luminor Marina a lot lately. Kind of curious, what models retain the same classic panerai aesthetic and are worth exploring? Was thinking of a radiomir? ...  

Here’s my 384, which is currently getting major orthopedic surgery 😔 By the way, I’m doing the exact opposite: looking to re-add a luminor to the collection. I had a 359 in the past, but thinking of a base model Awesome lume shot! ...  

There are several other choices, and remember, whatever floats your boat is great. There is no right and wrong if it comes to personal taste. For example, 610 due to English writing is maybe not the most sought-after model, but i love it as it has special...  

I might suggest you have a look at the Panerai 2 - Radiomir offerings. I also think that a 45mm one would fit your wrist just nicely. In other words, a Radiomir it's worth considering. IMO ...

That’s what the second part of the questions led me to believe

Even the version with a less-bulbous sapphire crystal has 'correct' proportions.

...Nico is so in love with the 372 that he must have forgotten the crown guard, entirely Lollllllllllllllllllllllll

but it's a...Luminor :P

Now, they are lots of options, the new 8 days, smaller size, but they don't come out cheap, or the phased out limited editions such as the 249, 448, 47mm, or there is the 424 (with date or without). You can find those quiet easely and well priced If you a...
