A PANERAI LUMINOR that FITS! Kind of... It's good, but also a bit MEH!

Hey, nice video. High production quality and enjoyed the content, refreshing to see from a new watch channel!

[@ninefortyfour]

Thank you mate! Very much appreciated!

[@TrendyStone]

It looks great!

[@JM-js8qn]

Thanks for the video. Best review of this watch on KZbin. Do more Panerai Videos! You've got this down. I'm really interested in this one - I wear my 44mm Luminor a lot and love the watch, but there are times when I'd love to have the edginess of the panerai design on my wrist, but a huge luminor would be out of synch with what I'm wearing or appear to be a "flex" in context. Plus, I think any 40mm bezel-less white dialed watch presents as a large watch in anyone's book. Thanks again!

So Panerai made it smaller. And gave us 100m WR. And a non cosc movement, that doesn’t hack. For over $6000. What a bargain! NOT.

[@PaulLee1990]

Do you go diving? Have you been beyond 30m? Let alone 100m in the water?

[@drkesrf]

I own this watch and it runs within 2 seconds per day generally. While i do wish it was 200 or 300M, it literally has no impact on my life.

[@TrendyStone]

Grumpy

[@31hallite]

I bought my wife the Luminor Due only 50 M water resistant, never going that deep does it matter no.

[@VincentChia_online]

The deeper it goes, the thicker it becomes. So 100m is well enough for me, I won’t dive with a Panerai even!

[@epicv7dayz824]

In reality why not make a couple of smaller versions for smaller wristed gentlefolk. It’s not like they eliminated their iconic sized versions, just added. Smart move to get a broader audience in becoming paneristi. IMHO of course.

[@AM-vn6eu]

Great review...very detailed... But you've forgot the lume shot😊😊😊 oh noooooo

[@stevem863]

Come on, it’s a Panerai. You have to go at least 44mm. I always thought a 39 or 40mm was my sweet spot, but I bought a 45mm Radiomir. I love it. All other watches on my wrist look little.

[@ninefortyfour]

Yeah, they should really be 44mm or larger, but the 40mm is a great way into Panerai for the small wristed! (me, lol) that said i have tried a 44mm titanium model and liked it rather a lot!... Thanks for commenting!

[@agill2103]

Love Panerai watches

[@nikolaikrustev1159]

Charming looks yet.. for that money I'd rather get a Longines Big eye AND a Tudor BB54, each of which representing more value.

[@ninefortyfour]

Great thoughts... i'd tend to agree with you... The £6700 entry point is steep for what you get, even if the looks and fit are excellent (for a Panerai) The longines and 54 are a great combined alternative! Thanks for the comment!

[@giovannivattuone290]

I would buy this Panerai without doutb, this looks great imo. The models you mentioned are boring imo.

[@krasnaludek298]

I have this watch with the olive-gray leather strap. It fits very well & smaller than its specs, once the strap breaks-in after about 2 months of daily wear. That alligator strap ruins the whole aesthetic of this timepiece & shouldn’t be anywhere near this masterpiece, unless the owner is 80+ years old.

[@RickyRicon2023]

does the luminor due have hacking seconds ?

[@Peganova1]

The caseback is pressed in, screwdown.

[@uniqloboi9800]

Saw this watch piled up like scrap in alog of hong kongs watch shopd , guess ppl dont like them

[@TrendyStone]

Note that it does indeed hack. You pull out the crown and move it counter-clockwise and the second hand stops. Then you set the time.

[@Alex-Rainmaker]

That is not hacking. 😂

[@TrendyStone]

@@Alex-Rainmaker Stop the second hand, set the exact time. Boom. Like magic you have your watch precisely set. Crazy I know.

[@sac_fijian6314]

My useless opinion is this is a bad move by panerai. The whole appeal of Panerai was the go big or go home approach vs other brands. And people love this...panerai didnt follow any trends ..they made trends. Now they are trying to please and go with what other brands are doing by shrinking the case size and in return, the WR also takes a massive downgrade. Gone are those days of 300m wr panerai in 44mm case sizes. If ya want a panerai, look up the older models and get one in the used market. The new gen are horrible.

[@TrendyStone]

When I bought my PAM 111 over 18 years ago Panerai had 40mm Luminar options for women or men that didn't want a 44mm case on their wrist. So this isn't something they weren't doing nearly 20 years ago.

@@epicv7dayz824 Is 38mm too big for you?

[@31hallite]

Have been that deep ?

[@roa5359]

Everything bar the hands is stunning on this watch. The hands are too thin and lack any uniqueness.

[@bigbodykarate6403]

panerai make trash , finishing is lesser than a seiko movements are nothing good , they just make giant look at me watches .

[@TrendyStone]

40mm isn't giant. How small is your wrist?

[@31hallite]

Everdently, someone has never seen one properly.
