Panerai has far more personality than Rolex IMO. I find many Rolex offerings to be very effeminate … blingy jewelry pieces. Panerai, by contrast, is unequivocally a man’s watch.

I bought a white dial SMP 300 awhile back - really liked it, but when I Green OP 41 from my AD came in the SMP got sold. I've regretted parting ways with it since - the design language is dated imo, but it's still a fun , no-worries watch with an amazing movement. Might pick up another one if the right situation comes up. .

A few weeks ago I went into Manhattan with my college buddies. While we were on 5th Avenue, 5 supermodels came up to us. They all told us that if we were wearing the Sea Dweller 43 126600, they would have instantly had sex with us. This is a true story.

I absolutely feel the same about the Laureato. Just came across it couple weeks ago and the 42mm, blue dial is on the top of my list. I wonder why I never came across it. And I would have bought it years ago. When it comes to affordable haute horologie I would also recommend the 43mm steel Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. Wears smaller, beautiful dial, hour markers luminous surrounded by polished white gold, fly wheel of blackened gold (!) you can see through the sapphire case back, 5 days power reserve. Purchased it last year. Definitely, at the moment the one watch I would keep if I had only one to choose. Once I have purchased the Laureato I don’t know which one I would keep….

GREAT!!! FANTASTIC!!! PAM 233. Panerai threw a lot of what Panaristi want in a PAM. Low profile, 44mm size, dome sapphire, 8 day power reserve, sandwich dial, GMT, quick strap function. I’m looking for one at a good price full kit myself. Most Panerai can be found at a bargain. As much as I like new case materials modern PAM’s are overpriced. Never buy new, and wait for a good price. Congrats cheers 🍻

Thanks mate. We all like different stuff, it’s you who has to look at it and wear it, and check the time. I like Panerai’s a lot, and the Polos are very good looking too. For 8k though, I’d probably be tempted for a Submariner or GP Laureato lol.

Michael, i forgot to ask. If you were going to buy 1 Rolex, then What do you think of the new grey & black GMT? It’s got some things I like as I mature in life. 40mm, more interesting than a 41m submariner. Looks good on jubilee or oyster and its dimensions are more old school. It’s boring to some BUT it’s different and suits my taste as well as being an original new colour scheme that you can call your own. It’s the perfect one and done from the Rolex collection..

Michael, what a feeling. To actually let go of that artificial grip that Rolex had on us for over a decade. To wear a watch that you actually appreciate for what it is rather than the residual price or the hollow challenge that’s attached to buying a Rolex. No more bs to AD;s just to be considered for something that is vastly over priced AND over hyped!! I sold my Rolex’s too, the feeling of being a follower, the feeling of worrying when you you wear it in the UK, the feeling of knowing that Deep down inside you feel such a bitch (sorry for the language) for allowing yourself to be sucked in to something so false and something so meaningless is such as relief to let go of… if the truth be known, the Rolex spirit died the moment they went to ceramic bezels and super cases. BUT, you are free to buy what ever you want now AND! I have to admit, my Apple Watch is a different experience and a better experience than I expected. There’s a freedom that you cant explain when you sell your Rolex’s. Substance over ego, strength over insecurity, experience over naivety.

Great to see you having an amazing piece on your wrist! Panerai 233 is like no other Panerai and I doubt there will be another Panerai like the 233 (this one has a soul IMO). It needs to be seen and worn to appreciate what is has to offer. It also is a lot more slimmer so doesn't have that huge look which all other Panerais have so fits a smaller wrist really well too (like mine). Enjoy it in good health. And if you find that mantle piece please do share so that I can pick one up for myself hahaha
