Tried this mob after you recommended them… I bought and paid for a new Omega Seamaster 600m. Told it was being dispatched, then it had been sold and it was a mistake on their system but when I asked why it was still for sale on their web site I was then advised that they couldn’t sell it to me due to Brexit! However if I’d let them hold the cash, they could order in another example in around 5 week! Interestingly it’s still showing as available almost a week later #very-confused 🤔

Hallo hou are y. Pls mint

[@patrickjean-philippe7679]

Panerai were never made in Florence, cases and movements were ordered from Rolex so mostly it is Rolex who was manufacturing Panerai… The company has lied too many times throughout their communication and this is the reason these watches have lost their credibility and popularity even though their design is nice and unique. But with low prices on the second hand these become interesting…

[@digitalentinc]

My first luxury watch was a Panerai, and I'm still a huge fan since I think they make the coolest watches of any brand. Given the recent negative talk about the direction and viability of the brand, it's great to see someone of Adrian's caliber give Panerai the love and support they deserve!

A Luminor Due (42mm) was my second automatic watch. I always loved the design but the thickness was a killer for me. When the Luminor Due came out i tried it on and fell in love with the dial and wearability. Don't care about the 30m i am not going swimming sith it anyways and it's a perfect mix between classy/dressy and still sporty for these summer weekends!

I'm glad that I own a 312 which has been with me for the last 8 years, Panerai is a fun watch, the built quality is really good, it is simple yet very distinctive with rich history. You can easily dress it up or down. I think it will be hot again once people get tired of the currently over hyped brands.

[@dannylaurence8089]

I think a plain, 3-6-9-12 dial with no seconds hand and a hand wound movement is still the best way to go for a Panerai. Just so simple and the hand wound movement means you actually have to flip the crown lock every 3 to 8 days depending on the movement.

If even asked the ad if they were not popular anymore but was told they are very much still popular and attract a lot of attention in the shop window.

[@ianmarshall3633]

As a diver I could not use any of these watches due to the lack of minute markers on the bezel and dial. Accuracy is key when diving. I know alot of people will say " what about dive computers?" And I would agree but I use my watch in combination with my computer to corroborate the accuracy of my dives. I know not everyone will agree. It's just personal to me and my dive buddies 🙂

[@JHDC1959]

Humble suggestion: along with all the dimensions, include the weight. Adds to the wearability assessment.

Thanks Adrian. I’ve been considering a Panerai for awhile. Would love to see a second video around your take on the counterfeit and movement stories associated with Panerai. That still gives me pause about the integrity of the brand.

[@chronoevolution1871]

I consider myself among the Paneristi, having 4 models. I love the charm and uniqueness of Panerai and visited Firenze several years ago. I myself prefer the older hand-winding models, having a year 2000 PAM055, a 2002 PAM112, a 372, and finally an auto - the PAM1024. People liked to knock PAMs for the size, neglecting to consider the fact that the case size was required because of the pocket-watch movements inside. This and the crown guard became Panerai DNA and I would not have it any other way.

[@4120306]

Well said regarding the size. It puzzles me to see people laud heritage but yet bash size (which is part of heritage). You have a cool collection there man. Wear them in good health.

[@SLIMpickens06]

Panerista here. PAM351 was the 2nd “nice” watch I added years ago to the collection and still have it-It will likely never leave. Best thing about the luminor marina line is that you can buy a new strap and practically feel like you got a new watch. Easily changing straps is the best part of owning a Panerai. I’ve taken mine on lots of vacations, snorkeling, hiking, snowboarding, etc. rugged enough for daily use but change the strap and you can rock it with a nice suit too. I also love the sandwich dial- best looking lume on a dial by far and very legible. These watches are not about precision, hence the lack of minute hash marks. Instead they’re all about style, comfort, legibility and versatility. The older models like mine are also slightly more desired because they don’t have the stupid “automatic” text at 6 o’clock on the dial, ruining the symmetric look. Some prefer the slightly thicker case of the older models too. I’ve tried on the newer/slimmer versions and am glad I have the old case design. But to each their own.

[@404Volt]

For my 44 birthday i needed a 44mm watch… 😇 so i bought the PAM01351. I love Panerai very much!

[@j.3854]

I turn 44 next week, I agree!

[@ernestrobles1510]

I wasn’t interested in Panerai for a long time because of the size of most models. But I tried on the gmt version and bought it. It gets a lot of wrist time, looks distinctive, and as you say, it wears comfortably.

[@summercarrot]

First watch I was truly interested in was a Panerai. I’d seen it online accidentally after browsing Omega and Rolex but I’d never seen anything so unique. I was set on working towards purchasing one for myself. I hadn’t fully comprehended the size, though. I don’t have a ton of real estate on my wrist and the watch looked like a shoebox on my forearm. It was a depressing blow to the dream but a lesson in try it on before purchasing. Love the channel! Thanks for the content.

[@leeharrisonphotos4175]

My Radiomir 425 is the best made watch I’ve ever owned, including Seamasters and Submariners. Buy pre-owned, let someone else soak up the initial depreciation and they are good value.

Yes and make sure it's not one of the many fakes

[@michaelbishop9157]

I don't think they're well made - the crown guard fell off my 560 !

I wold love to buy a Luminor to add to the collection. As you say the overall package is genuine;y very good. They are not a watch to buy and sit on to watch the value go up, you’ll lose your ass doing that, buy, wear, enjoy a fun, well made timepiece!

Panerai is most definitely making a comeback - I just purchased my first PAM and it truly is one of a kind. Great vid.

[@jamesgregory2918]

They've had more comebacks than a boomerang.

[@annabel3some]

I recently bought a Luminor Pam0796 and absolutely love it. It oozes quality. It’s 44mm - which is the standard size for Panerai- but does not wear too big on my 7” wrist. The 0796 is a ‘destro’ Luminor for left handers so has the crown guard on the other side. Very few watchmakers cater for left handed people who prefer to wear their watch on the right wrist. The only other example I can think of is the Tudor Pelagos.

[@JA-mq9ti]

There’s a lot of haters but I think Panerai is just cool. Especially the Luminor Due. You are getting a watch with history, it’s Italian, it has a unique design, I don’t think you can go wrong.

[@roadster5224]

Hi Adrian - I’m a regular viewer of your channel from Hong Kong. Always appreciate your enthusiasm and thoughtful comments. My only suggestion would be a bit more diversification. I know you like to get watches “in hand” but that should not stop you from broadening your content as currently too much focus on Omega, Rolex and Tudor. Would be good to occasionally hear your thoughts on interesting pieces from the independents like Alain Silberstein, FP Journe etc…

[@BarkandJack]

Hi Jonty, thanks for watching. I’d love to cover some FPJ, but they are very hard to access, the same with most independents.

[@dirtyBandit]

I’m a fan of Panerai, my wife has one of the early Dues at 38mm and she adores it. I’m concerned about this recent movement issue of using ETA and doing the “in-house” story….. and it confirms my personal feelings about the management team. I would look at the older Panerai pieces 372, 422, even a 560 than some of the PAMs. Would be interested in your comments Adrian about this movement story that’s recently serviced

[@WatchUnwind]

Just got my first Panerai. Very underrated they are amazing quality and do what they do well. They also hold value very well as long as you buy it preowend there is always a market for them as they have a cult following.

[@specciebear]

I bought a PAM610 recently and I LOVE it. The simplicity, elegance and inner "grit" make it a thing of beauty. Super happy to have this and my trusty Omega Speedmaster as my interchangeable couple. The right Panerai for you is a wonderful thing, but do choose carefully.

[@moritzvincent6950]

the daily watch of my dad is panerai for a long time now, so i grew up seeing this watch on his wrist and at some point in the future i definitely want to own one as an homage to my dad

[@anthonyderosa3265]

Never a huge fan of Panerai, but I must say that they have grown on me a lot over the last couple of years. They are truly unique in a time when there is a lot of parody between the popular watch models, and new releases are really just slight revisions to the same thing.

[@ericmal5055]

Totally agree with this video. My first luxury watch was a Panerai. I have moved to Rolex and only occasionally put on my Panerai, but when ever I do I get way more compliments and great conversations. I do no not mind that they are not as hot as they were in the early 2000’s.

[@TalkinToDaLooch]

I have a PAM01537 and absolutely love it … cool and unique look and, at 42MM, super comfortable on the wrist. Love the 72 hr power reserve too… Panerai is a great and necessary addition to anyone’s collection

[@tincou7694]

What does the power reserve do? There a battery?

[@martinwild9192]

One thing you didn’t mention about the PANERAI range is that some models come with an exhibition case-back. I have a preference for the 38mm DUE but they do not (or did not) exhibit the mechanism. The 42mm Luminor GMT does exhibit and that was enough to sway my purchase decision . . . and I quickly got used to the bulk

[@mcody68]

I’ve always like the shape of a Panerai. Distinctive and instantly recognisable. I’d buy on in a heart beat. The sub looks epic to me, however in reality a Luminor will more than likely be what I get. One day, you’ll be mine….

[@JA-re8gi]

Get one you won't regret it.

[@rechtsanwaltegramsfiebig3297]

Hi Adrian, thanks for looking on the legendary Panerai. But .... a Panerai begins in my holy opinion at 44 mm and must be big. There are some awesome watches in the "normal" size, look at them. After a lot of other watches I bought, AP, Vacheron, Rolex, Omega etc. 2 months ago, I bought a Luminor PAM 00372 47 mm for me and a Luminor Base 44mm 8 Days PAM00914 8 Days for my wife. The watches are fantastic, and I love them so much, that they get a lot of wrist time. My wife loved her Date Just like nothing else, but since she has her Luminor ..... Best regards Edgar

[@duraace]

The PAM0321 is my first and up to now only luxury watch. I searched carefully before I bought it new on Chrono24. An important criteria for me was having functions I would find useful and while I’ll never dive with it, I find it cool that it can go down to 300 meters. What I love about it besides history, in your face presentation, is the fact that it’s basically a travel watch. GMT, easy time zone adjustment, date and power reserve. 3 day automatic. Love the leather strap with matching stitch color. Display back. A watch for me has to be functionally useful,

[@docpitufo]

I ditched most of my watches (actually passed them on to my son) including my omega seamaster for this Panerai luminor marina which is now my everyday watch. It's fantastic.

[@rideyalife]

I just bought my first Panerai last month, a Radiomir Pam 183. I always hated Panerai because of the cheap movement, easily fake & high price. But once i tried a 45mm Radiomir on my wrist everything changes 🤩🇮🇹. For a 2009 watch it still hold its value 👍

[@Hellspawn256]

I bought a PAM 00392 about 8 years ago as I was a fan of the watch and liked it’s uniqueness. As it’s my only watch on a leather strap it is my de facto “dress” watch. It is rather chunky for that purpose, but I still love it’s look and feel. Panerai is a niche brand, but I do t see that as a negative. The watch still keeps great time and is yet to be serviced. For the price I’d say it’s a good buy.

[@tobimaxx]

I love my 00392😉 especially as it’s 42mm.

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

Nice one Adrian. Love my PAM 183. Simple, time only, manual wind, ETA movement for ease of servicing and a true strap monster. Love Panerai.. totally underrated in my opinion

[@PeteMcConvill]

Nice video Adrian. A point I think worth making with brands in the richemont group (more than SWATCH and LVMH I feel) is that the pressure seems to be off every brand to fill every segment - they seem quite happy for panerai to be a one trick pony as long as that trick is doing ok, likewise JLC, Cartier etc. It makes comparing brands within groups that are like role players in a team with independents (or flagships like Omega) a little tricky.

[@trevorjamesbradley3010]

Love my PAM 1312. The beauty behind Panerai is that you can find something that ticks all your boxes. I wanted 44mm, sandwich dial, in-house movement and display case back. The 1312 had all that for me. Bought mine through DavidSW. Great watch.

[@flexfvb]

Hi, As a rolex datejust 41 owner i also have the 47 mm pam 00514. This watch is so much fun . With its p9000 handwound movement the dirty sandwich dial and fat brown leather strap its hard to pick wich watch to wear. Panerai is a brand that was blown life in by the industry like ulysse nardin unlike rolex . So in case of development rolex is topdog. But the concept and wearability of panerai is also topdog. Taking of my datejust now slip on the panerai to go walk my also topdog . 😉

[@CFCJF]

I recently got a Luminor Base 3 day, I love the simplicity of the dial paired with the chunky industrial, yet polished case. The crown guard is epic, and a nice feature. The dealer / salesperson told me they are addictive and I would be back…and I keep looking at the submersible.. I guess you’ve heard the Sly Stallone story about how he discovered them while filming. Quite interesting. Great video!

[@andypandy4987]

[@targaflorio3239]

Great video and discussion. Love the history and design language of Panerai. Resonates on so many levels. Just bought myself a PAM 210.

The P900 movement isn't what I'd call in house. I've read its based on a ValFluerier ebauche. A lot of money considering. Its still a nice watch but £5500?? People say a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41mm is expensive. At least it is in-house and you get a steel bracelet, oh and its £800 cheaper.

Don't other Richemont companies like IWC and Cartier use Richemont owned Valfleurier movements also? Panerai seems to always get hate for this but others escape it. IWC and Cartier put their own reference numbers on movements not made in -House also. This is what Panerai have done and the guy who has major personal problems with the company has blown it up because Hodinkee said in-house. This is similar to Omega and Co-Axial. I would love to see a side by side of a Panerai/IWC caseback Vs a Tudor black Bay silver which is in-house. The difference in decoration is massive between them

[@VP011]

Panerai is a specific theme among watches, and it is hard to get into it until you give yourself a chance to try it and spend some time with it (for new people in watches). Can't really be driven by measures and wrist feel by just comparing it with more conventional designed watches. Hate it or love it, that is a matter of personal taste and style, but one thing is undeniable. Panerai is in his own category, nothing like it and that fact alone among ton of manufacturers that copy & apply inspiration and design from each other... it think its a good thing. To have that choice. Hype is not criteria for something being considered as good or bad.

[@gearetal]

As a small private watch collector I mainly had Rolex and Omega. Had some people in my watch group mention Panerai and I always thought way too big, didn’t give much thought. Started really looking into the brand after years and was hell bent on getting a Luminor for the crown guard. Manual wind 8 days. Well, after going in and looking at all Models, going back to my AD 3 days in a row, I did a flip and fell in love and purchased the Panerai Radiomir PAM00572 micro rotor and “I LOVE IT” I enjoy wearing it, looking at it and dare say (my favourite watch even over my Rolex’s 😅) I am now looking at more Panerai and love the brand now. I am secretly hooked and I totally get it now. The Radiomir with the slim case, I’m house movement, off centre micro rotor and beautiful dial won me 100% and no matter what anyone tells me. I love it.

[@VivekSingh-hy1dk]

Did you try seven Friday watches?

[@koolpep]

They do not wear that huge though. I didn’t like Panerai until I tried one on and here I am now having two in my collection.

[@johnbenton5102]

I would tread carefully around doing something that looks like a review of a product while simultaneously trying to sell it...really really really not a fan of this. Love the review, love that your getting sponsors...maybe structure the video slightly differently next time.

[@mikesawtell9184]

Just bought the blue Luminor, manual wind. It is a damn good looking watch. I have a Submariner, Grand Seiko, Omega Seamaster and Speedmaster and this Panerai is right there. Very classy, simple and big! 44mm

[@mehdizerzeri1977]

I own the Panerai Luminor marina in sandwich white dial. I loves that it 44mm, all brushed case and goes with all types of straps and the mechanic to change strap is well done. I have been collecting for 30 years and have never given much attention until my 8 years daughter, who's a fan of my collection decided that we should buy it. Now I wear every 2 days.

I just want a steak now 🤤

[@BarkandJack]

Haha, me too!

[@humphreybradley3060]

Bistecca alla Fiorentina! Ristorante Frescobaldi in Florence is a great place, though you won't want to eat anything for a few days afterwards, even if your share it!

Are Panerai watches good? Short Answer: yes, Long answer, also yes.

[@paulgoldstein9002]

Enjoyed your video it was most informative and spot on in talking about and describing Panerai. I was never a big fan of Panerai but the Due collection sang to me and I bought one cream dial blue bracelet? Oh and if you love coffee try the BARRIE HOUSE BRAND roasted fresh evy day in Our roasting plant in New York.👍

[@fraserwhite6531]

I have a 1313 and on a sunny day ( rare here in Scotland ) the colour of the dial is stunning, got rid of a Submariner to get it and have no regrets. Luckily I got one of the early 2020 ones that still has the hacking feature in the 9010 movement.

[@kahuhipajae4088]

Really like the Pam. Just can’t make the jump to buy.

[@thewatchg.o.a.t.9157]

Hopefully my next time piece.

[@internationalmarinefoodsin3525]

Hi Adrian, I’ve been using the PAM048 since last 4 years. Its very different compared to what Rolex,Omega and the brands offer. It stands out. I like it and people often ask me what a Panerai feels like on the wrist.

[@jeffsmith1661]

I bought one from a boutique that also carries A. Lange &Sohne Just to get my foot in the door and i have fallen in love with it. As I’ve built my collection, it is the one that gets quite a bit of wrist time. Why? It is unique, solid, comfortable and tough as nails. I asked the boutique manager how I should treat it and he said “beat the shit out of it, no problem!” He was right. I have the titanium equation of time model and it is a great piece.

[@tristanhanselman6709]

Isn’t Panerai claiming a new in-house movement in their new chronograph but it’s really an ETA movement?

[@BarkandJack]

Yeah, unfortunately all of this had been recorded before that all came out. Panerai have a history of doing "funny" stuff.

[@BobbyDazzler888]

@@BarkandJack thats why the brand suffered

[@shaverray4462]

I seem to recall a few years ago they slapped an unfinished lower end Unitas movement in a limited edition run of watches. Not a brand I’d be able to trust.

[@treehugger3615]

Bark and Jack you could easily wear the 47mms. I cannot say the same of my tiny wrist. But IMO the best models are in 47, the PAM 663, 422, 372.

[@Z06Wingnut]

NBA players, NFL linemen, that kinda folk are about the only people who can easily wear a 47mm watch. That's comically large.

[@patrickomalley8490]

Hey Adrian, I owned a PAM 0012 some years ago and flipped it. I loved the watch, but it was a bit bulky and didn't get much wrist time. HOWEVER, The Panerai Due 42mm is definitely on my radar. Overall I agree that Panerai is an incredible watch at this price point and a rich heritage to boot!

[@Pookie2533]

My first proper watch was a Pam111. Still have it and love it.

[@brianjkelly1551]

Looking forward to this.

[@inspectorBob88]

I always see Arnold wearing these in pictures and think, this guy gets it. Nothing too flashy, just a big legible watch. I’m a fan

[@paulhickmott6129]

Yes, I’d buy one. Class watch and Italian styling, would go well with a Ferrari. Two of my friends have a Panerai . Probably to large for my small wrist. Therefore not explored before, the piccolo due is interesting me. That would fit. It is the only watch that would pull me away from my Rolex collection - that Rolex and ADs won’t let me grow, rant for another day. Panerai tempting! Just has that classic look.

[@recalcitrantgrackle2500]

I have the PAM 1392 (the 2392 but with crystal back and fauxtina) and absolutely love it. Fauxtina is much maligned but I think it looks stunning with a brown strap (worth mentioning the ease of changing straps); the 42mm size means I don't have trouble with cuffs, but it's plenty big enough to be easily read. And it keeps very good time. What's not to like?
