I used to live next to a dental clinic but never talked much with the dentists. One night though, at a bar in town, one of the dentists recognized me. While shaking hands I noticed he had a Luminor on the wrist. I have to admit the first thing I said was "Is it real?". Since then, we're friends and keep in touch. That Luminor sparked a friendship, pretty cool when you think about it.

Wonderful to see your subscribers growing - I joined a few weeks back at 2k and its brilliant to see the site growing - no wonder though. Thoughtful inciteful and enthusiastic presentation coupled with no bullshit is refreshing and welcome. Keep 'em coming (Still looking at the Hamilton X Wind and still in negotiation - the dealer is working late sharpening his pencil - or at least thats what he says he is sharpening).

When are you going to do the Movado vid, man? I'm waiting for that on pins and needles.

People used to think Panerai is the watch enthusiast's watch, next step after the Rolex Sub. But now PAM are everywhere. Here in Hong Kong, people wear a Panerai because it's a PAM, just like Rolex. It's a status symbol.

I enjoy your reviews, another exceptional job well done!

I have that exact watch. It was my first expensive piece and I love it. I wear it with t-shirts or suit. I have it on a rough brown leather strap. Got it for 3k and it's a g series. Great watch but probably a bit big for a thin wrist

Say what you want about the Panerai, but unique it is. Instantly recognizable on the wrist.

I meant uniqueness from other brands. Others have been copying the design just like the Rolex Submariner, and this replica problem is which is what Jory is implying. I hope this clarification helped convey my opinion. As for the people you bump into while walking, just pay more attention to the path rather than what others are wearing, especially around corners.

Firas It’s “ UNIQUEYNESS”

I sold my Rolex Daytona with a black diamond dial. It was difficult to read the time. I now wear any one of my four Panera’s. I look at them and quickly know the time.

Could you also say that the popularity creates a price bubble both on the retail and used market? They seem like great watches with great history and unique design but at 7k upwards, is that a bit overpriced for what you get? They seem more to be fair around the 3-5k mark if that tbh

I hope "Federico talks watches" isn't a taboo subject but he has just posted a similar video. He says the latest Panerai is only water resistant to 30 metres. How crazy is that

Really tempted to get a 42mm Panerai Luminor with white dial. It’s the only watch I have ever tried on that did more for me than Rolex. I tried it alongside IWC, Zenith, Jaeger and Omega and although not looking the best in photos or videos, on the wrist it was truly epic. I’m an instant fan having tried one on; which says a lot as I never loved them at all from pictures and reading specs/comparing rivals prices.. just goes to show.

You don’t wear expensive watches to impress other people. People wear it for the self satisfaction through the sense of achievement. That is the result of their hard work, who cares if other people think it’s fake, you know it’s not.

Panerai does nothing to stop replica production. I asked the sales reps at their Beverly Hills boutique and they stated replicas are of no concern. Replicas are a concern for every brand especially if they are near perfect.

Not to everyone's liking, but I think Panerai are very nice looking time pieces, you do cool vids, subbed to your channel :)

+Mike W (I like panerai as well... they just need to clean up their act!) Thanks for the sub, Mike! Welcome to the channel!

The only Panerai interested me is an Equation of Time model, but they run in the fifteen thousand dollar range, ouch!!

For me usually the more famous a brand the less I am attracted to it. And being poor has nothing to do with it.

I have strong opinions about panerai but I’m probably one of the few that’s 50/50 on them. For one, I LOVE the look of the 1950s case luminors. The brushed case with the highly domed sapphire is very well done. I owned a 233; fortunately I sold it for a really good amount of money in 2012 before the secondary market crashed for almost all Panerais. The things I HATE about panerai are 1) they charge ridiculous prices for watches with average movements. 2) they put a presentation case on everything. Seriously why are you presenting a mid grade ETA with non hand finished embellishment? Even the 233 which was in house was an austere movement that was not worth showing off 3) like another brand I dislike (hublot) there are too many choices and special editions. None of them feel special because they are all basically the same look, with some minor flourish. The market has said the same thing, there are so many similar but different versions it’s confusing and prices have tanked across the board except for select rare ones like the bronzo.

The problema was (Not now i think) The calibres. U6497 not decorated or modified at all in some special editions. A 6497 for 6000eu gives not much confidence

I love Panerai but many people do not. As you said , Luv it🖒or Hate it🖓. Enjoyed the video.

To me, it's a love/hate relationship with them. To their credit, Panerai doesn't design their dive watches as copycats of practically every other diver. The big problem I've got with Panerai isn't their popularity, it's the fact that they're charging over $1-2K for a watch with an ETA movement. If they're going to charge that much, they should come up with an in-house movement (and they might have to, with Swatch cutting back on ETA sales outside the Swatch Group, unless Swatch owns Panerai, too).

now hearing 'just passed 4 thousand subscribers" sounds like such a joke vs 52k

I like how succinct your videos are. I don't really like the endings though...

I hate that question!!! Sometimes I wander what’s the best sarcastic response.

Look. Back when it was only 4k subs!!

i have panerai luminor marina. i'd say it is not water resistance.

Man, I was one of your first 400 subs...that was like in early August. A month later you've grown 10 fold. WTG! But with regards to Panerai, I feel they are overpriced for what they offer. Not only that, their watches are just too chunky. At least with Rolex their movements are better and they have a more elegant style. I would rather have an Oysterquartz than a Panerai.

You should never have to feel like homages and replicas are getting too close to being the same as the genuine with replicas getting better the true luxury brands can't afford to have back slides like that

I own the same Field master shirt . 20 years old and it still looks like new . Regarding the watch ... I rather wear a Timex than a Panerai .

BTW, I love the engraving on the Pam318 and if the movement works as well as the decorated movement I don't mind because I will never see it.

From a fellow yid, I TOTALLY agree with you! The replicas have killed its lustre as well as Panerai ramping up its pricing ridiculously. Look I get it on an 8day power reserve watch to a degree but not with what they charge. Sorry nope. Not buying. I’ll go Blancpain, JLC, etc. but I do love the watch u are sporting. Keep it up bro!

It's a tool watch. I don't expect the Geneva Seal.

I agree!

I'm still wondering why someone is so lonely and nosy, they worry about what other people buy. I also wonder if you contacted the company personally and told them about their products. Some folks have a ton of free time to gossip and force feed their opinion to strangers.....

They’ve got bigger problems than that - like pricing, shrinking, limited editions out the whazoo

Panerai , didnt rolex steel the design of the french dive watch and bring it out before panerai in the 50s 😁😁 ohh that companies debauchery ,

The worst panerai problem is that u got one

Love the watch but can’t see the value in them and Rolex.

In the general public; the apple watch wearing crowd, no one will take notice or care that your wearing a Pam. On occasion, you will run into a person in the know and they will give you a "hey, nice Pam". Rolex is another animal, most people in the know will not acknowledge your Rolex unless its vintage or a bling, bling, bling. Goodness help you if you're wearing a Patek Chrono or Perpetual; they'll run for the hills in utter shame and disgrace, lol.

All these expensive watches that Use Eta movements are should be dropping there prices, I can buy a Submersible with a 9010 movement for 5500aud

You know what? I don't want to be contrarian, but I'm searching for some feelings about Panerai and coming up short. I'm a dive watch person and have thought about getting a Panerai, have felt like I probably should get one, but every time I very quickly realize there are some other watches I would rather get first... like almost all of them.

No. Pal, Panerai is no Quality, Panerai is only Fashin, but no more. They uses cheap 316l-Steel, not 904L-Oyster-Steel, Panerai is bullshit..overpriced..

Maybe you shouldn't think of your watch as something you wear to get noticed. So people come up to you and think your panerai isn't real. Big deal. You know it's real and that's that. How is panerai's fame a problem? That's just your vanity talking.

First

"is it original?" Hahahaha.. hey man you know.. its all Panerai's fault for choosing that movement , the only difference between that P-whatever vs. ETA/UNITAS 6497 is the Panerai modified bridges, so any medium skilled watch guy can buy an old UNITAS based pocket watch, a brand new ETA 6497 or even a Chinese clone, a PAM case for $50, a Panerai dial, some hands and bum!
