iwatch Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yeah, I don't know either. When I joined the forum (around 2004 the first time) I had no idea what Panerais were, and I didn't particularly like them. I did come around, though, and I don't know exactly why. I bought a Regatta first (this was actually my first rep) and then a Davidsen 202-a, I love that one, and then another Pam Base. I don't know if I'd buy another one or not. I do like them all.

Guest REPPIN Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Really. REALLY....I LOVE PANERAI'S What's not to love here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REPPIN Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Well...I don't like them either. I tried to like PAMs back in my gen days but I can't. Same is with the AP RO and/or every Hublot...it's all too much fashion and hype...and I hate everything that's being hyped Well, I love PAM's But i too share your sentiment for Hublot. I think Hublot is just about the worst watch design I have ever seen from a high end brand. Also I have an extreme hatred for Franck Muller....just overpriced weird looking design.

markiemark Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 My first rep was a Panerai, I didnt even know it was a rep, I never heard of Panerai. I just thought it was a nice looking watch. I did some research, met you suckers, and then it all began... I love Panerai & IWC. But the next buy will be a Rolex. Either a TC Sub or a white Noob Exp II... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Really. REALLY....I LOVE PANERAI'S What's not to love here: Well, the left one looks like it was lost in the desert by Lawrence of Arabia and then become the foundations of a scorpions nest, and the right one, well, has your butt been kinda itchy for the past 6 months? I think you lost something down there! ONLY JOKING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Sec Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 You're not alone. Was thinking about this topic before I fell asleep yesterday. I am relatively new to this hobby. Although I have read a lot (i mean a lot!) here and I'm no newbie when it comes to gens. Yesterday, I bought my first PAM (061D, M2M here). I am impressed by the quality and appearance. I like it a lot. However, I like it, not loving it. There must be some kind of explanation for my lack of love. It has it all, the looks, the presence and a fantastic strap. Yet, it does not do it for me. I was comparing it with Jessica Simpson, in her good days. I understand the beauty, i really do. She has it all (except the brains maybe). But I can't say that it really excites me. I like it but will never love it. It will be in my watch box i and i will wear it occasionally. But she will always be second choice, never true love.

Mike on a bike Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Pierre, " Yesterday, I bought my first PAM (061D, M2M here). I am impressed by the quality and appearance.

gran Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 . I was comparing it with Jessica Simpson, in her good days. I understand the beauty, i really do. She has it all (except the brains maybe). But I can't say that it really excites me. I like it but will never love it. Jessica Simpson? that you are still thinking of her may be a sort of a Freudian slip ....but yes I understand you completely ....now what I really want to know is what women and watches are able to exite you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
