Time to Let Panerai Out of the Dog House.

It's become fashionable to hate on Panerai, and they've definitely shot themselves in the foot on more than one occasion. But this italian watch house has so many great things going for it. Hasn't Panerai been in the dog house long enough?

Panerai is doing very well as a company and their sins have been long forgotten. They revamped their product line and offer sizes from 38 to 47mm, different dials options, nobles metals and virtually endless straps of various colors and materials. For my wife's birthday, I took her to the Rolex boutique, the Omega boutique and the Panerai boutique and told her to pick a watch that would make her happy. After trying on three different watches she said the choice was easy: she chose a Panerai 1248 Due, 38mm, sun-brushed sandwich dial with an Arancia Rossa alligator strap. When I asked why she selected a Panerai - she replied "it's a work of art".

[@PorscheCayenneS]

I like Rolex. It’s actually the brand most of my watches are from. And while I think when I only could have one watch, I would probably choose a Rolex, like a black Submariner Date, I actually have a deep affection for Panerai and just bought another one yesterday.

[@marcosdoyter7460]

I couldn’t agree more with you. That was all fault of the Panerai’s new CEO. Richemont is pretty satisfied because they are doing great in Asia. So they increased sales and lowered quality. The former CEO, who was a Italian committed to Panerai’s tradition, wouldn’t allow such horrific decisions.

[@gregbe2269]

Great video, a few weeks ago I did the same thing, but with the 914. I liked Panerai years ago, fell out of love with them, and I'm so thrilled to have one in my collection again. The design is just so iconic, nobody mistakes and for anything else.

[@besedaevgeniy2]

Congratulations! I found out about this channel because of the role with the fake Panera, and I'm very happy for you that you bought this watch, they look very cool, and most importantly they are really unique and keep their identity. All in all this is my dream watch, congratulations again!

What a choice!🔥 I recently bought the 1085 Blu Mare and I’m obsessed now. It’s good to see Pam being shown some love again.

[@BJester91]

As someone with large wrists that loves dive watches, I’ve grown pretty fond of Panerai. It took a while to appreciate just how different they are from every other watch(aesthetically), but as I’ve grown in hobby I appreciate that more! I definitely need to own one in the future and I love the idea of a no-date, sandwich dial, small seconds, manual wind version.

[@JeffreyOrlowski]

Max, another great video. Love this! Panerai was what got me into this crazy hobby. So, I was back and forth between 914 and 915. I also felt the same about the small seconds. However I really really wanted the 3,6,9,12. I chose the 914/15 series because of the design language and the fact that it was a true Luminor (in my opinion). Sandwich dial was a must, depth rating, and price was on point (I received a nice discount from the AD). So when this series was launched I bought into it immediately and it’s a keeper.

[@georgetsang5780]

Bought my Luminor Quaranta (PAM01370) last year. 40mm case size suits me perfectly. Been my everyday watch since.

[@mannycalavera2335]

I like their design language. And I love that they have their own look that is distinctly different from other brands. But really I'd like all their watches to be downscaled about 10% in size.

[@tuengsak]

No you don’t like Panerai if you want it to be smaller. With cushion case it’s 44 or else for a true Panerai.

I couldn’t agree more. I own a Panerai blackseal. I love the design but it is way to big on my wrist.

But you can buy a 40mm. Or even a 38mm. Is that still too small for you?

Very timely video as I'm considering my first Panerai after loving the look for years. Iconic for sure and I love the fact they've never really changed. I too may go the AD route just because of the fake debacle. Enjoy and Happy Birthday!

[@MuhammadNabilAhmad]

I thought the same, Panerai will always have a special place in my heart as it was my first Luxury watch Brand that I purchased back then when I first started working. I got the PAM 441 Ceramica in 2017. Enjoyed wearing it much till 2021 and I decided to sell it to fund another brand. Sold it online but then there's this emptiness that keeps on bugging me after that. This year I got myself another Panerai and its a PAM 292. Its bigger in size but wears smaller. Eventhough its an old model but the looks of it is just beautiful. I felt complete again. Exciting to own a Panerai is.

[@LeftyFox2]

Had this exact watch twice and regret both times trading it in. Wears beautifully and the winding of the crown is superb! I have a 6.5” wrist and even though it looked too “big” it didn’t feel that way and wore very comfortably. Congrats and looks great on you!

They do seem to be making a comeback. Not sure if they’re fully out of the doghouse at this point, but for the first time in about a decade, I’d consider buying a Panerai. I wish they’d offer sandwich dials on all their Luminor models - many of us view that as a core element of that watch’s design.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Come back story of the decade!

[@saillaw2]

The sausage dials are nice too - if they were all sandwich dials it would be harder to justify to the wife why you need a second Luminor.

yes, I agree.. sandwich dial with black hands and white color (green) superluminova, like in 112.

Got myself a PAM210 september 22, awesome watch, tons of fun. It wants to change straps, it wants to play with the light, and its not afraid to be seen on the wrist. Best purchase of last year at a great price!

[@college9602]

I had the same journey. Confuesed by all the numbers after diving in the world of Panerai. Which one to buy? Luminor -> Sandwich dial -> handwinding -> small seconds… So I bought the PAM915. And no joke, because of your video with coffee table, I wanted a watch from the Panerai Boutique. Rocking the PAM on the olive green rubber strap today… Greetings from Munich, love your channel!

[@duraace]

I’m relieved Panerai has reverted back to in house movements!! I have a just discontinued GMT 3 day Pam 0321 with display back. I love it and I may look at getting a DUE, knowing it’s movement is in house, and not one of its parent company other brands.

[@dcm703]

I just picked up the 40mm PAM00244 GMT. it’s amazing how it fits. I had been turned off for the longest time to the 44 and 47mm options even on a 7” wrist. This one is just perfect.

[@realalexmackenzie]

Well they're out of my dog house! I am currently looking to add a 12th PAM to my collection this week. There are a couple for sale right now, but I see the others sticking around. I've become quite adept at sourcing them from reputable sellers at extremely favorable prices, my average coming in at under $5K USD/piece (if we take the EoT out of the mix, otherwise a little over $5K). I feel the value proposition is there, though perhaps not at RRP. As similar as they all are, they are all so unique. I've tried to cover as much of the design variety as possible. 44mm-47mm, hand wind and auto, Radiomir and Luminor, wire lug and fixed lug, simple 2 hander and complications up to EoT, range of dial colors, OG to 2021 releases. I would never have thought a handful of years ago that I would own a literal watch box full of Panerai, but here we are! And now for a Nickelback story... In my consulting days, I used to travel around all over the province of Alberta (Canada). One day I was out visiting some folks in a very rural area. Pleasant little house on a working farm. I was talking with the gentleman about this and that while we were sitting working at the kitchen table. He mentioned that he was off to the Grammy's the following week. I continued working for several more seconds while trying to work out just why it is that a real salt of the earth fellow working in agriculture would be heading to NYC for the biggest night in music. Turns out he was married to Chad & Mike Kroeger's mother. We went on to have a great chat about the band and the music industry. And yes, I've always liked their music. ;)

[@markbyrum4743]

I too have become a Paneristi with a purchase of a 40mm Luminor PAM1048. It looks great on my 175mm wrist and I couldn't be happy with it. I purchased a deployant clasp for it and now i don't damage the leather strap every time i put on or take off the watch. I'm good with the ageing look, but not the gouge across the strap a pin-buckle clasp makes. Great vid. Keep at it!

Congratulations!!! I had the same feeling about Panerai at the beginning too big too this too that etc… Bought the Pam914 love it and just bought the Pam1226 it’s a beautiful and a killer looking watch… What I love about Panerai, is I don’t see many people wearing a Panerai, so my watch looks special and different from the general audience Rolex submariner/ black bezel. Love Panerai regardless what people say and criticize this unique and special looking crown, case, lugs, you name it !!!

[@hbueain]

Tried Panerai in Wempe for the first time back in 2015 as more of a joke thinking it’ll never fit my 5.5 inch wrist (smallest at the time was a 40mm PAM48). Ended up falling in love with it and it’s my oldest watch in the collection.

The Nickelback analogy was tremendous.

[@guoyiliu6963]

Congrats on the watch. I've been an on and off fan of panerai, and have owned the 111, 351 and 1033 across the years. For my next Pam purchase, I'm torn between the 915 and the 1312.

[@BillPetrovas]

Probably one of the best researched program I've seen. Nails the copy and fake Panerai's on the market, it's a huge risk. Only topic not covered is Panerai's lack of comfort on the wrist. Try a Breitling bracket and then compare. A little pricey for today's market. 8 day power reserve with high maintenance and issues. Not as durable with longer power reserves. Pros and cons - is it worth it.

[@birdman7083]

Watch enthusiast since the late 90s… I recently purchased my first Panerai a few months ago; a pre- owned PAM 390 special edition. I’ve owned various watches in the past decade but always been attracted to Panerai. The only watches I still have are my Sub 14060 and a 800T Doxa. As much as I like these two watches, I still had an itch for a Panerai. I had read a lot about the history of the brand and even listened to the 5 hours of podcasts by Jose Pereztroika on the history of Panerai (do take the time to check that out it’s priceless info) so I was well aware of the nebulous past and present of Panerai. Regardless I had my mind set on a base model with a solid caseback and one powered by a simple easy to service Unitas 6497 hand wind movement…Problem is that Panerai no longer made watches with the Unitas. Luckily enough, I visited a pre-owned shop that I knew had a few pre-owned Panerai watches and as soon as I saw the PAM 390 I knew that was the watch that ticked all boxes and even a few more that I didn’t know existed like the gold hands, tobacco dial and vintage style lume. I’m super happy and love that I can play around with various straps. Life is short so better do/buy what you like regardless of others.

[@Biggun-ft7bj]

IMO, you have to know what you’re looking for and try them on in person or at least have tried the one you want on before buying. For me back in 2016, I wanted two distinct and different PAMs. The Radiomir 662 which harkens back to the old Rolex collaboration of the he 6154. Love the plexi crystal and it’s pretty easy to keep it scratch free even with it being a bigger 47mm. For the second one I chose the Luminor 1351 because Panerai thinned out the case with the newer in house movement and updated the overall look. The 662 has a power reserve of 3 days and the 1351 has less of a power reserve but it doesn’t matter to me. With Panerai, you know what you’re chasing there. History, style and functionality. Both watches have exhibition case backs

[@georgecostanza2157]

Just bought the pam914 a couple weeks ago. Agree with the style but for me I think a two hander Panerai looks badass. Couldn’t agree more with your sentiments. I started out the same way with Panerai but I think it’s become too common to write them off and almost become a meme. Buying Panerai is like rediscovering them, almost like counter culture in the watch community

[@davidabooth]

I love my 44mm Panerai. Having owned a Rolex Sub (which people automatically assumed was a fake because most of them out in the wild are!) and an Omega (great watch) I can honestly say that the Panerai is my favourite. It it is very well made and gets more comments than any other watch I have owned.

I find it strange for watch enthusiasts to find heritage important but then complain about Panerai's size. The large size IS part of Panerai's heritage. They were meant to be visible under foggy water. This goes for all the tool watches that were made big for functional purposes. Saying a Panerai is too big is like saying a sledge hammer is too heavy. Anyways, nice Pam you have there. Thanks for sharing..

Some helpful Italian pointers: the "C" in Italian is hard (like in "card) when it precedes an A, U, or an O; it's soft (like the "Ch" in "Choice") when it precedes an I, or an E. So, "Officine" is pronounced like "Offi-Chinay" :)

So my new grail is a VC overseas.

[@gaziaOG]

It took a while for me to narrow down on one as I am a greedy bastard. I wanted too many things: 1950s bubble-looking glass that is hardly featured in the new models, I always liked power reserve indicators, sandwich dial is a must, display caseback (obviously), well.. it'll be great to have a date window @@". But my main focus was really the bubble glass, display back and sandwich dial which is a combination very rare in most models. Also, I don't want it to look so basic that it's been cloned to hell. And... I landed on PAM270 10 Days GMT. Had it for years now, it's discontinued when I picked it up. It's perfect and I've not seen any new models able to top this classic.

[@SequoiaNagamatsu]

I do love the history of Panerai, but I ended up buying a Giuliano Mazzuoli when I was in Florence, and I think there may only be room for one chunky Italian (or Italian associated watch as is the case of Panerai) in my case. The smaller mm Quaranta in white is classy though!

[@mb-watches]

Love Panerai for the design. Did buy the 914 as I wanted 300m and Sandwich dial. But the faultina did not work for me. Sold it but will get one back. Maybe just the base logo. Well there comes the issue with pressed in caseback and just 100m. Might get it still as I sort of dig the look and a 111 is not to easy to get. Cheers
