subzero1 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 Holy crap I thought the 127 and 217 were big, but this thing is a BEAST: And a shot for real life perspective:
Watchmeister Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 It is a monster. I can't explain why but it feels bigger than the 187 on the wrist.
subzero1 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Posted November 12, 2006 kruzer00, Maybe it's the simpler dial that gives it that feel? Or that the bezel markers extend all the way to the edge of the bezel on the 194? It's a lot more shiny/blingy in person than in my pic. In fact I'd say it's probably the flashiest panerai I've owned so far. And it's sheer size commands attention

I'm waiting on this to be produced in titanium (allergies and all that) for a while so the wait continues

I'm waiting on this to be produced in titanium (allergies and all that) for a while so the wait continues Ti would be less flashy, no doubt. But I like the extra gleam and extra weight of the SS. It's a substantial watch, it should feel substantial, IMO. I'm a big fan of it in SS, even if it is the wrong material compared to the gen.
Watchmeister Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 Given that the case is ti but the bezel on the gen is brushed SS I am highly doubtful that we will see a Ti version.
subzero1 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Posted November 16, 2006 After wearing the 194 for a few days, my davidsen 111H seems small
Watchmeister Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 I still prefer the 187 and eagerly await the 7753.

I was just hoping for another titanium watch so I don't get problems during the summer months - the SS watches get into hibernation at that time PAM187 (SS) in the winter, PAM194 (titanium) all year round... great rotation
subzero1 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Posted November 29, 2006 Added a pic on the blue/white strapmasters. It's a little darker than in person, but gives a good idea of how well the 2 go together.
