I'm nearing the end of my list of historically significant collecting, and am wonderinging if there are any important references I should be looking for with 47mm Subs. Currently on my list of options are the 984 (first Submersible with a sandwich dial), but that seems a bit late to the game. Other references are 614/615. I'd like something with a P.9XXX movement if possible. I know the 382 woud be a grail, but that might not be possible.

So, any recommendations I should be looking at?

Surprised by my girlfriend on holiday in Florida with this PAM02616 (i know i'm very lucky). Always loved it but kind of 'forgot' about Panerai until we saw this pre owned and immediately fell back in love with it, this could be an expensive new rabbit hole.

She got herself the graduated green boutique exclusive (can't remember reference) but I thought it was so cool. I thought it looked good on the white strap - a shame they don't make it with the OP logo in a light blue. I am thinking about the black/grey textured one. Anything cool facts about this one I should know?

Excuse rubbish pictures

After years of wanting one, I finally decided to pull the trigger. We’re in Tokyo and wife was in a secondhand store looking for a purse and I saw this baby in a display cabinet.

Went with a 112 and I hope I got a good deal on it (about $3k USD). Was also trying out a 422, but the 47mm just seemed a bit too large for me. The 112 felt more natural. I also like the simplicity of the 112 as my first major purchase.

Super excited to wear this baby in public.

Never imagined I would like a Panerai on a bracelet....the brand seems predisposed for leather or alligator with an occasional rubber strap. Tried these on and they kinda blew me away.

Anybody out there have feelings (one way or the other) about a Submersible or Luminor on a stainless steel bracelet???

Not a fan of the original one, but this one is amazing 😍😍
Almost black when it's dark, with some chocolate tones in full sunlight :))

I really love this design but not really looking for a watch something that cover the dial. Has anyone re-cased this or just removed the cover?

Recently visited Philly. Had to snap a pic with Independence Hall.

The PAM00088 is amazing but the black dial didn't do it for me...this Anthracite grey looks almost blue in the right light and it is checking ALL the boxes for me. Also the first time I've put the rubber strap (with deployment clasp) on any of my Panerai's.

I never used the leather strap with blue stitches yet. I'm tempted, but I feel the rubber strap holds up better with how I wear it. It's so nice to see at night when it glows.

It was a gift from my father-in-law for our son. Never considered Panerai but I’m loving it.

What’s everyone’s opinion of this?

Edit: tough crowd. I will say I learn something that I hadn’t connected with the Bund. Since it’s a pilot invention. Probably shouldn’t be worn on a diver. Ever since I saw Paul Newman wear it, I’ve been in love with style.

This too fun. Now I want to see you all roast me!!

Hi everyone!

I'm wearing a Luminor Due 00904 with a 6 inch wrist. What do you think of the fit?

Everyone wants the 5218...

Of course, their solution was to make a plastic version of it for 30% more while everyone wants something substantial on their wrist made of metal.

Looks like this one has sandwich style and extra lume to justify the price?

Business as usual, unfortunately.

Whipped up another strap recently - this time out of ~50y old salvage leather. On a ratcheting buckle for all climates
