Owner Review: Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 050

I love this watch for what it means to me. This was a graduation gift from my father. The Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 050 was the new hotness at the time and when he gave me the watch he told me that it is a special watch and I shouldn’t wear it everyday and risk…

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 111

I have always been into mechanical watches. When I was younger it was pocket watches, but then I grew up, started a family, got a house and a mortgage and then the watches were put on hold for a number of years. The interest was still there and I started to follow some online. Pocket…

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor PAM 328

When it comes to recognisable designs in the watch world, Panerai’s Luminor range is towards the top, although that does not mean it’s universally loved. As a brand they’ve always had a hardcore following of aficionados as well as an equally loyal set of detractors. Personally, I felt somewhere in the middle; neither feverishly following…

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor Marina 8 Days PAM510

Being a die hard Paneristi and having previously owned both a Bronzo and a Ceramica, two head turning statement watches.

Before we get into the Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM 682 here’s a brief history of Panerai for you, they used to make dive watches for the Royal Italian Navy. When I say make, I mean buy a pocket watch from Rolex, solder some lugs on and then add a strap. Panerai dive watches from that…

Owner Review: Panerai Radiomir S.L.C. PAM 425

It was August 2019 in Athens, Greece. I had an itch to get me a Radiomir. I wanted a Black Seal Ceramic, but I was trying to control myself, unsuccessfully. During a trip to the mall, I pass by an AD and spot the Radiomir Ceramic in the display window. I go in and ask…

Owner Review: Panerai Radiomir PAM 337 – Is it a Diver? Dress? Sports?

Leaving Wakachangi High and gaining experience changes your views on women for the rest of your life. It changes the way you approach relationships with others, gaining respect for the overlooked. You understand more fully Dave’s attraction to a Russian unijambiste. Indeed, never would I have imagined there would be a Panerai Radiomir in my…

Owner Review: Panerai PAM 359 – The incarnation of cool

I went into the local AD to have a look at the Rolex Milgauss. Actually, I was planning to buy one. While trying it on and talking watches, the salesman (who really knew what he was talking about (he is a watchmaker) and was a good salesperson, too) said “in this price range, we also…
