PeteM Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 LOL.... Thanks for sharing I guess any guy who cant spell... and only judges watches by their size can only be someone who needs to be taken seriously !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempire Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 That guy does seriously seem like he's a bit clueless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I think it's funny that he's even comparing A. Langhe & Sohne to a watch company like Panerai. A. Langhe specializes in handmade, dress watches... starting at twenty or thirty thousand dollars... going up nearly a million dollars... It's like comparing a BMW Z4 to a Rolls Royce... Not the same thing at all.. not the same category, and not used for the same activity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mLuMaN83 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Yeah... and I should be wearing an Audimars ROO at the age of 27 cuz thats reasonable. I think Panerai shows restraint and maturity. If worn in the right enviroment. I love my PAMs. What is snobbish are the "few" individuals who wear them and that can quickly be determined as douschable by their overly confident and weak minded deminor. I have enough dam personality. Thats why I like PAMs. They are simple and beautiful timepieces. If I wanted attention, I would go to an irish bar in Maitland, Fl with a Navitimer I bought from Ufanta and a sweet Guy Harvey t-shirt with the front tucked in just enough to see my belt buckle which is either a John Deer logo or some sort of saying along the lines of, "I love pussy". You'll win all over that one. This guy's f*ck'n idiot. It must suck living in LA. Edited June 29, 2011 by mLuMaN83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I am just back from vacation in Miami Beach, and in the hotel elevator, there was a very smartly dressed man with an LV suitcase on a rolling rack and a beautiful PAM 190 on his wrist. He was staring at the button panel in the elevator so hard I thought lasers would shoot out of his eyes and destroy the control box. There was no way in hell he intended to acknowledge or speak to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalt Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I enjoy the Watch Snob. It's written by someone who knows a lot about watches, but his persona is obviously created. It's pretty entertaining, especially when he talks about his ambiguous friend/partner Sheamus, who is apparently as wealthy, educated and well-bred as he is. You can never have better taste than the impeccable taste and vast horological knowledge than the Watch Snob, because that's his character. Panerai is obviously a very classy brand, with elegant and restrained timepieces. They are big- but in a simple, masculine way. My 312 is my favorite thing for my wrist.

sempire Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I still have to figure out if I want to go 111J or 177M for my next one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalt Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 177 is my other favorite PAM. Usually wear it on a rubber or black leather strap and it's more sporty or understated. My 312 I wear on a nice thick oxblood calf with contrast stitching. Now I just have to put my 005 up for trade for a 288K and I'll be set for a while.
