Something soo captivating with the brand. Own all the big name watches, and I am most impressed by the Panerai build quality. It feels soo substantial. Great vid!
This is so ABSOLUTELY beautiful and simple and just so desirable. It looks great on that wrist. Now I want one more then ever. It is true, until you try it on and give it a minute or two it is so hard not to fall in love with that Sandwich dial, that super unique crown guard, simple face set up and just about any strap you put on it. What a watch, thanks for making this video. Long live the Paneristi ! ~"Love the watch you wear"~
I got into luxury watches a few months ago and I have a Tudor. Panerai went from zero to wanted in my view over the last 2 weeks once I tried it on for myself. It’s definitely on my wish list for in a few years
I have this watch. It's a favorite in my collection and I wear it all the time. So many miserable sods slagging anything off they do not like. Horses for courses!
Beautiful watch. I have one Panerai in my collection, the 359. I like it a lot, in fact that is one watch everyone in my family and friend circle unanimously like! I bought my watches not as investments, I bought them just because I love their looks, quality and appeal. There would be opinions about any watch based on personal preferences or from an investment point of view, but if you like it, thats all matters. Wear it well.
Just came across your channel and this vid. Amazing content! Incredible watch! It really ticks all those boxes. Could almost be a 1 watch collection contender...
you need to do more reviews. loved the pacing the style ... very well done. Captured the essence of the watch as well ... could have been an extended advertisement for panerai :)
exactly what happened to me.... never considered panerai when i was buying my first watch till i held one in my hand.. now a proud owner of a pam 112,,
Buying a used Panerai from anybody other than an authorized dealer can be a really dangerous activity. The replicas of these watches are so well done that only somebody with a lot of experience servicing these pieces will be able to tell a copy form an original on some of the models. The 111 is particularly risky because the noob factory replica has been refined extensively. (Seven versions) Caveat Emptor, folks!
Not that I don't believe you or anything, but do you know where these replicas are from? All the replicas I've seen have been decently obviously and it'd be interesting to know where the more clone-like replicas are coming from
@@87channels They come from China and Vietnam. I'm not knocking them, I own several. My point is, they're becoming so good that anybody purchasing an expensive vintage piece like a 6538, 6542 or even one of the earlier 5512's, had better be extremely careful.
Magister, I for one completely disagree with your comments and opinion. But then it’s an opinion. YoureTerrific was completely honest in his...... he said it was never a Watch for him and then tried it on. You don’t like it..... that’s fine, but many such as myself love the Panerai because it is versatile. You just come across as a watch snob with your hipster comment. If everyone loved the same watch there would only be one watch company in the world..... Rolex I’d imagine with you. Love the watch, love the video........ hope you have many happy years and memories with your watch
Congrats to your latest addition to your collection. The 111 is a beautiful watch and to be preferred over the newer in-house movements, not a big fan of them. Great review of a great watch, keep them coming. Have a happy new year soon, all the best, Konstantin 👍🏻🙏🏻
Bro you are by far my go to for watch reviews. Fuck erbody else. I get the thought provoking feeling that people like me are, shall we say, as an atypical watch enthusiast; feeling disconnected from the current selection of creators of watch content on RU-vid. You sir, are deserving of my attention.
Awesome video. Like you, (as i understand from your video) I’ve never been overly enamoured with the Panerai oversized jumbo dimension vibe. I didn’t hate them but they didn’t appeal. However, I can see from this video the calm open mindedness with which you approached this purchase. The overcoming of one’s initial misgivings and doubts has a unique pleasure of its very own if one decides that there is something worthy in the final analysis. (I very much appreciate the balance the subdial gives to the enormous trademark crown guard). The strap too compliments/offsets the gun steel aesthetic of the dial and case. As always, I applaud your taste and the life philosophy that is enabled by it (and vice versa).
I have Rolex, Omega and other brands, including a PAM 111, I love the watch and will not sell it. Panerai has the history, design and materials are great. New ones leave something to be said but you definitely chose the right one.
Excellent video. I’ve had this same watch in my collection for ~12 years and still enjoy it as much as ever. Other watches have come and gone but this one will stay. The versatile strap thing is fun. I recently put my 111 on a nubuck alligator strap and it's a whole new watch. I’ve tried the strap swap thing with Cartier, Rolex and Breitling but it just isn’t the same. I prefer those on the original bracelet/strap they came on.
Trendy Brown Panerai watches have en reputation for being scratchmagnets. Would you agree with that, after having the watch for so long. Or would you not consider it different from any other watch with big surfaces of polished steel?
@@michaelt909 Panerai watches seem unique in that they age well as they gain flea bites and scratches. Nothing has happened to mine in all those years that has diminished it. Recently I sent it in for service as it started running oddly (sometimes fast sometimes slow). I'm sure it was due for service but I never send my watches in until there is a problem. In addition to servicing the movement it came back looking new. They even replaced the sapphire crystal and the documentation said it was replaced due to a scratch and I hadn't noticed that. In any case, it looks brand spankin new. But new or well worn, it's a great looking watch.
Great cool video,yes 44mm and eta is a good choice,but I bought a marina militare 3yrs ago to see how it looks and feels it is so amazing I don’t bother to spend out on a panerai so I bought a Rolex but the inexpensive marina is amazing,and Rolex is a much better investment than a Pam.
Nice video review. And beautiful watch. I find Panerai at 44mm too big for my taste but I know they make 40mm model. But is obviously worked for you and that's all that counts. Enjoy!
