asciwhite Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just a small rant! When I first started here I bought a 127 & a 104 back in 2009. Did not like them very much because I thought they where too big. Rollies was my game, and was before I ever came here. But now the bug has bitten me again.... With the release of the 1950 3 day series, the fever has started again. And the 44mm has grown on me. First I bought a 236K because of the new 7753 movements (love it, wearing it now) then I wanted the 359M because the dial spoke to me Still waiting for it to be delivered. And THEN I found the 351 with the brown dial and titanium case, and decided I needed that one too (AAAARGH) ordered that last night. Then I went on a strap spree.......... 2 Malio straps 1 Historic & one Classic. One Paneray hornback, One C&B Flottiglia X-M.A.S e.t.c Now my rollies get very little attention. But it might change again in the future Panerai fever is EXPENSIVE. I am happy I am not a very wealthy man because GEN Pan fever would be hard... The good thing about reps is that you are not limited to buying just one. Loving this one! Ambivalent about the SS strap though, its nice but...... Waitng for this.

gusete Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 If only they could make a good P.9000 movement replica... I love them too but its hard to wear them knowing that turning them upside down will ruin whatever good the rest of the replica is. Even the pretty good, Panerai like plated and engraved, 6497 has obvious tells for the ones looking for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbetts1790 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 nice growing collection, i have a 359 also! try the hand-wind models next, they are even more accurate than the autos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I love the 50's case as well. IMHO far more elegant than the luminor historic case although they do sit bigger on the wrist which makes it far more noticeable - nobody mentioned my Pams until I started wearing a 351.

StormTooper4 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Good to hear you've returned to the dark side, the more the merrier. The 1950 44mm cases are really unique and much more interesting than many PAMs IMHO. But they are big and heavy. The 351 should be a winner if its lighter. My 312 is one of my current favourites and on heavy rotation. People moaning about the movement makes me laugh , I might spend 1 percent of my time looking at the watches underside , it irrelevant at the end of the day. Enjoy your new purchases ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
