【Story Going On】Dear, get your third Panerai ! Hurry up!

PAM00562 Geez, how many Panerai does a guy need? We can answer this question with the following mathematical formula: P = n + 1 Where P = number of Panerai needed and n = number of Panerai in your current collection. So, if you followed my first two blogs and bought PAM 1 and PAM 2, then you are due for PAM 3!!! So did you read Buying Your First Panerai and its sequel? I’ll assume that you did. So you started off with your basic, core-DNA Panerai — a 111, a 183 or maybe a higher end 510. Then you went for something bigger and more sophisticated- maybe a 351 or a 514. You have covered the essential character of Panerai and have also sampled some of their modern in-house watchmaking capabilities. For PAM number 3, it’s time to think outside of the box. We can go for something different and maybe less typical of the brand that consumes our thoughts. For this blog, I will highlight several Panerai that should be considered for your third and possibly “different” PAM.

【Story】Dear,GetYour Second Panerai As a follow up to Buying Your First Panerai, I have decided to highlight ten sensational Panerai timepieces that should be considered as the next PAM in your (growing) collection. I will exclude vintage and discontinued Panerai models to focus on pieces that you can acquire today through an authorized dealer . I have also excluded special edition models. For sure, there are some incredible older models that you might like to own, but we’ll stick to current models today. We’ll take a look at some typically PANERAI pieces as well as some PAM models that offer something really different. Are you ready? Let’s begin! PAM00351 Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Titanio 44mm Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Titanio 44mm PAM00351 It is quite likely that your first Panerai was a nice, basic 111 or 112. So, perhaps it is time to look for a Luminor 1950, which has a larger, cushion-shaped case giving immense presence on t

Panerai Luminor PAM00112 Believe me, I know how you feel. You have built up a respectable timepiece collection. Your collection includes a few fairly expensive pieces — possibly a Rolex Submariner or an Omega Planet Ocean, but something is missing. You realize it when you’re at a cocktail and some guy shows up wearing a Panerai Luminor. Sure, there are many more expensive pieces at this cocktail- plenty of Rolex Daytona and a couple of Patek Philippe Aquanaut pieces. But that Panerai steals the show. It looks…awesome. You don’t know exactly which model it was, but you know you cannot rest until you have your own Panerai. Luminor PAM00112 and its typical Panerai trademarked crown protector. Let me end the suspense right now and tell you which model you should look for. If your goal is mainly to acquire a Panerai that just tells the world you have a Panerai; a piece that will look and feel so satisfying because it just screams, “Panerai,” when you strap it on, then

Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days,42mm Watches Hands-On

Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days ,42mm Watches ,  steel and gold. Last week, as I scanned a collection of large and larger new Panerai watches , I was thrilled to see this comparatively miniature marvel, the new 42mm Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic watch in both steel and gold. Reference PAM00682, aka the Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio 42mm, takes all of the burly appeal of the 47mm Submersible and trims off a whopping 5mm. For me, and I think for many others who may be "benched" Panerai fans, that 5mm makes a world of difference. This is not the first 42mm Panerai, but it is the first 42mm Submersible, and it opens up the line to a wider (possibly underserved) audience. The Submersible is not Panerai's bread and butter, but rather their more niche dive watch, making the choice to go 42mm even more interesting. Perhaps this is a test? A way of gauging the actual response for a smaller sporty Paner

For the three version, which version do you like? | Panerai Radiomir 1940 Limited Edition Chronographs

Today, what I share is  Panerai Radiomir 1940 , which has three version, after reading this article,please let us know which version do you like.  Panerai has a knack for SIHH novelties and this year is no exception. With a handful of special pieces being released, I'm going to focus on what caught my eye. Being rather firmly a Radiomir guy (unless we're talking about last year's drool-worthy 1950 Regatta 3 Days), I found myself taken by the new Radiomir 1940 Chronograph. With three limited edition versions rendered exclusively in precious metals, these aren't your garden variety Radiomirs and their dial design eschews Panerai's signature sparse appeal for something entirely more retro. While the three versions may sport different case materials and dial designs, they do have a number of shared elements. Case size is 45mm wide and, being of the "1940" Radiomir variety, they have Luminor style lugs (rather than the Radiomir's signature wire lugs)

Watch Review | Panerai Luminor Submersible Left-Handed Titanio PAM569 For panerai, we have introduced them a lot, which one do you like? How do you think of Panerai PAM569 I'll start off with saying that the Panerai PAM569 is probably my favorite Panerai watch that I've worn for an extended period of time. Panerai is a brand that most watch lovers admire because of their historic designs that are both beautiful and timeless. It is also hard to find too many other "tool watches" that are so good looking and versatile. Panerai watches are known to look good on a wide range of straps, and their larger sizes were a major driving force of the tendency for watch makers to produce larger timepieces due to the modern demand for big sport watches. So let's check out what it was like to thoroughly review the Panerai Luminor Submersible Left-Handed Titanio PAM569. This watch originally came out in 2014, and aBlogtoWatch first went hands-on with the Panerai Lumin
