Hands On With My First PANERAI: The Submersible Diver (Review)

[@christopherjensen5007]

I bought a Panerai 104 back in March 2021. I really didn't think I could ever wear a large watch due to my less than 7-inch wrist, but I absolutely love it. I'd advise everyone to go and try on a Panerai. I tend to wear mine on NATO's and a light brown leather Zulu strap. It's a keeper for sure. I'd love a Sub diver as well.

I’m a big fan. Have three Panerai (Luminor 111, Submersible 44mm & awesome blue dial Radiomir). They are fun. I also have the Rolex GMT “Batman” and Cartier Santos, and Breitling SOH….but find I wear the Panerai watches the most. They are just…iconic…and cool.

[@jettyung2389]

One of those designs where it grows on you I reckon. But one thing I love from first impressions is how legible the dial is!

[@gregalonzo747]

Congrats on the latest addition to your collection. There's nothing like a Panerai. I have the 459.

[@richierichallen8083]

Looks good. If you have a few watches this is a nice casual watch imo

[@choond]

Great looking watch. Congrats!

[@JA-mq9ti]

[@alfrednagy4515]

Great, supercool Watch 🤩

[@perfectwrist23]

Good choice. Unique looks

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

Congrats 🍾!

[@ams914]

A minute track would make it more practical, but it would also look worse, IMO. I'm not going to pretend like I'd ever take the watch in anything other than a pool. And if I'm swimming laps, I use my Garmin anyway... This watch is all about enjoying the aesthetics and history of a mechanical watch. Never about telling the time.

[@VincentChia_online]

Can’t agree more and yes I use my Garmin in the pool too. It tracks laps better than a Submersible could ever. Haha

[@david300m]

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@williamchan8866]

Not sure if you still have the Citizen grand touring watch but I am still more impressed but that watch then this one. For sure this Panerai is nice but that citizen it next level in presentation.

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Agreed that, for the money, the Citizen grand touring diver is hard to beat. The Panerai wears a bit more comfortable and is great with different straps, but not finished as nicely as the Citizen.

[@JA-mq9ti]

Favourite brand!

[@VincentChia_online]

Yes I love Italian designs. It’s bold and beautiful. Not always the practical aspect though. Minute markings? Italians feel that wld spoil the minimalist look. If u want accuracy get an iWatch 😮

[@PanSearedRibeye68]

I like it, but if I buy a Panerai I want the Iconic 12, 3, 6, 9 blaring at me all lumed up. 😊

[@giomiami_]

Very nice video... but I have a question... is it true that the bezel is not solid? And move up and down?

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

The bezel is solid but does have some slight play to it. Cheers

[@TrendyStone]

I have a submersible and the bezel is as solid as my Rolex GMT bezel.

[@firasal-jubouri1312]

Nice video, well done. Just a question. I have the Luna Rossa submersible and it is brand new but gains 7 seconds a day. Is that normal?

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

I don't believe that Panerai will COSC certify their movements, so gaining 7 sec/day isn't too bad in my opinion. You might find that it runs a bit better once you wear it (in different positions) for a while vs. having it sit on the desk or watchbox.

[@DGenerationX69]

Cool. Very cool.

[@janezhocevar3401]

Hi, nice watch& review. What is the comfort of the original and the other strap, sail cloth I think? Enjoy your Panerai.

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Thanks. Both strap options are very comfortable 👍. The rubber provides a bit more room for your wrist to expand. The sailcloth is an after-market band from Zulu diver.

[@rajmehta6210]

42m is a better fit for me but I've heard 44 is the correct sizing for pam ?

[@5RustyBin]

correct sizing is one of those weird concepts. The correct size is just the one that works for YOU. Sometimes its good not to be a sheep and follow the herd. I love it.

[@ripperx444]

New ones are the garbage p900

[@jeffmutter2286]

Just cannot get my head around Panerai….they look awful
