Officine Panerai

Hi fellow Paneristi, New member here, sharing my small collection for your perusal. I've been a brand fan for many years, drawn to the innovative military history and overall aesthetic. Didn't get my first Panerai until my lovely wife gifted me the PAM233...  

Despite the marketing hype, bulk metallic glass does scratch, however in the case of this watch, I've found it's mainly because of the slightly brushed finish that the micro "ridges" of the brushing are what actually scratch. It takes a lot - I'm not deli... 

233 was a long time favourite of mine, a very nice gift to get! And a Sub was my very first Panerai so very partial towards the Submersible line (if only we would see more at 44mm).

It was a very unexpected, yet extremely appreciated gift, indeed. I hear you on the 44mm Subs - I don't mind 47mm as my wrist is just over 7", but 44mm is the sweet spot for many folks. I'm particularly bummed out that the new Nery collection won't come i...

Which I used to own some long years ago. ...  

if the Submersible line is what...floats your boat...the new CEO is a man after your own heart. He LOVES submersibles and he's producing a ton of them. Ciao

It’s a great Panerai to own.

I particularly like the pam 233. It's one of my favourites but I cannot wear 44mm 1950 cases due to my small wrist

Thanks for the collection compliment! We all carry a bit of a burden when it comes to these things, don't we. My wrist is just over 7" which makes 40mm the min spec case size, which I also find to be limiting. There are a number of vintage pieces I just c... 

Thank you, here's one more. It was handmade by someone in Russia via Etsy. ...
