hn120 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hi guys, Just got my PO 45mm yesterday, was looking so forward to it but now that I have it, I'm very disappointed. Nothing wrong with the watch, its the 5th gen version and accuracy is stunning but it all boils down to size. I purchased a PAM 111 since joining the old RWG and it's been on my wrist everyday. Prior to this, I was wearing a Breitling Bentley. This PO is 45mm but seems very feminine compared to my PAM , I feel like PAM has ruined any chance of having a nice collection of different brands. guess I can also forget about that stunning IWC chrono, Anyone else had this problem? P.s. will probably get rid of this PO and go for the 196 as my next watch, tough life huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadog13 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 this was a question for Miss Understood...she is the only one that can give you a smart answer about this...we are all PAM nuts here...and you want get a good answer other than : BUY...BUY...BUY.... PANNIES! more you buy...more you want...and when you have all of the rep pannies...you start asking question to dealers when are going to be released new reps....of pannies! the cure isn't yet been invented...and i doubt it will ever be!

ubiquitous Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Miss Understood only wants someone to get into her PANNIES (especially Bob). So, it's likely she'll tell you anythng that you want to hear, just in hopes to land you in the sack to show you her Superdomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 ...ohoh, I can clearly understand your problem....I was in the same boat but I managed to live with it.....right now my problem has even reached a new stage......I think my 44mm Pannies are all too small since I have some 47mm Pannies (FIDDY, MM-Destro, 6452, 3646, 187....). I can only wear ...lets say the Bentley 49mm or the new Breit World with 46mm..........but hey I can stop easy, any time I want I can come back to smaller watches, reduce my dosis, no problem.......ohoh the doorbell....I have to go....my dealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 For me the problem has got completely out of hand. It started off with Pannies as with most people but soon even they were not enough. I am ashamed to say I then started strapping big alarm clocks round my wrist with a leather belts. In my bedroom at first but then I started going out like that, at first at night but the during the day too. People would just laugh and stare like I was some sort of weirdo Soon even this was not enough and I stole a huge clock from a railway station and tied it round my wrist with a rope. I haven't been out with it on yet because I can't lift my arm off the floor. I know I need help is there any orginisation for my kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hn120 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I've had the whole clock comments about my Panerai. To be honest, I don't think it looks too big, its a nice masculine watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmouth Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) Anyone else had this problem? Wait a few days. My first was a 111h, after that PO 42.5 orange. It had to grew on me for a few days, now i love it. After the PO in order: Tag Heuer Indy 500, PAM 212, IWC Jones Viagra and IWC GST Chrono Ti. Wear them all, love them all. Every watch has it's charm although I would not buy a watch smaller than 40 mm anymore. Edited September 6, 2006 by bigmouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkitesurf Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ha ha I have a fatness tick... The fatter the better... I have no Pams yet and am looking into them right now...(any tips on which is most addictive)... but I love thick seadwellers... The higher on the wrist the better The other day on the Bay I bought a gen Citizen Bullhead Coppertone '60 Chrono Automatic... 130$. Happy happy... until it arrived yesterday...it was thick allright but hell it is only 35mm or so. It's an p#ssy watch... Now I really stick to reps.... no gens for me...

Ptolomeo Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Only my 49 mm Bentley has got some wrist time since I bought my fiddy. I agree... even 44 mm PAMs look too small to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highflyingclive Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Ha ha I have a fatness tick... The fatter the better... I So try Joshua's Radiomir California... Fat: Big: That is 47mm.... although the Radiomir case makes it look smaller... And beautiful: Early Panerai were 47mm watches... 44mm versions were introduced later in order to appeal to the wimp market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Yep, I had Breitling, Patek Phillipe and then found this place, bought a Pam 232, 253, 127 and 111 G so far. The Panerai virus has got me real bad to be sure and it is only a matter of time before I start buying a Gen or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well, if you really like large watches, have a looke at this Narikaa's watch. It is declared as 4005 mm -- just a bit more than 4 meters wide. Crown excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
