The 213 isn’t bad either, and you have got to love that dome.

In my eyes that’s about as perfect as it gets, absolutely stunning. Weirdly it’s only in the past couple of years that I’ve come to appreciate the brand, have never owned one but they’ve always caught my eye- I was away on Holiday a while back in Aruba ( watch lovers paradise) I ended up trying on so many different Panerai Models, only reason that I didn’t buy anything then is that I got myself totally confused in what to buy, so many different models that I would of bought I was like a kid in a candy store!

590 is a fantastic watch, sold mine (back to the original owner, which tells you something) as I fancied a 372/422/557.
If I could have funded without the sale I'd have kept it, 44mm Alessandro Bettarini case is a masterpiece, 8 day wind, perfect dial balance with the historic 8-day patent roundel. Highly recommended.

Things is as we all know it’s always about the next purchase, how many times have we said ‘this is one’ 5 minutes later we’re on the search again- I can imagine the 590 the one for a lot of people, hence realising their mistake and purchasing another one.

[Rob153]

Another vote here for a 590! Owned one a few times. Fantastic watch.

Strap combos like this just make me want one even more :-)

[Snoodles]

Beautiful 213 Fred!

Rather smitten with the 233, need to get some more straps though. ;)

[PAM580]

That’s a lovely strap, did you order from boutique ? What is it exactly. Fancy trying one of those on my 312

New OEM strap and buckle is finally here after being stuck at customs for four weeks.

And that person was me and here is the 590, my first Panerai and still with me, well my son has it at the minute



Also hard to beat a 233, especially a dot dial, suspect out of the ones i have this would probably be the last to leave..........maybe

[Robsmck]

Was summer-like yesterday so strapped my 243 onto a bright NATO. Sadly back to winter today.

Finally got the recently acquired toshi on my 351.

I do think thicker straps wear better on 1950 cases

My old PAM098, wish I still had it :( Will have to source another one some day.

[Rob153]

My first Panerai quest ended today- I managed to pick up this 2008 Pam 250 Daylight, fully complete set, down to the original hang tag and stickers. Now, I’ve been oohing aahing for goodness knows how long, I suppose cogitate is the politer way of putting rather than Pi56ing about :-) i love a bit if research but bejesus Panerai models and numbers had me tearing what’s left of my hair out.... 2 Toshi straps on way and no doubt countless more.

Now I know its probably not everyone’s cup of tea but i love something different, admittedly Pam lovers seem to favour completely sterile dials but i think that was my problem when looking for one, i was listening to what other people were saying rather than just buying something that i like.

Excuse the poor pictures.

Thanks, I had never seen one either, at least I’m now on the slippery slope of Panerai collecting :-)

The 233 is really nice, looking hard at the resale market to find one with the dot dial...

A question about the power reserve on the 8 day models. How far down do you owners let it drop before winding back to full reserve again to maintain accuracy? To put it another way, is there an optimum point at which accuracy is affected and therefore you wind the watch?

Both Panerai in-house 8 day movements have a near 10 day power reserve certainly 9+, so a wind every 7 days is fine.

There is a JLC 8-day calibre fitted to one of the special editions, I have no idea about that

[Tuna1138]

I'll be wearing this for the next day or 2 as I've got a couple of days off work
I always enjoyed chopping and changing straps on my previous Panerai but for my 112 I soon found 'the one'
Love this combination and glad I took the opportunity to get this watch when I had the chance/funds last year

Sunday watch for me, should wear this more often. I think I'll try a more casual strap for summer, maybe a fabric strap would be nice.

That’s the 190.
I’ve got a 268 and timekeeping is pretty solid across the 8 days. It does benefit from a Panerai service last year though. I love being able to tell from the bar on the front that it needs a boost.

[Robsmck]

I had a 346, now with another forum member, and it ran well over 8 days, with a useful PRI on the back of the movement. It was eerily accurate over thay period. Usually bob-on every time.

Accuracy on both the Panerai 8 day and JLC is impressive. I have a 590 and a 233, only thing i have noticed is that the in house Panerai can run a little fast when fully wound then settles down. Definataly get 8+ days on both of the watches i have, never had the need to check further.

With the 190 and the JLC I have never had an issue with running. Always good from the get go, and accurate to a couple of seconds over the full 8 days.

One thing i have noticed as i got all my Panerai out today and set them is that from empty to full to the 190/JLC is way less turns than the 233 i set.

Oh and to look at, the 8 day JLC is a thing of beauty, the 8 day in house not so much.

Rob what strap is that?

[ASW1]

I can't remember how long I've had this, what with lockdown groundhog days, but IF one was to only own one Panerai, this would be a very strong contender, along with the 233.

The 422 has some amazing angles and has all the DNA you might want. I really don't think it wears any larger than a Bettarini cased 44mm, as the domed crystal makes it looks smaller.

After debating between a 372 and a 422 ,I went 372 which for me was a mistake,no power reserve did my head in .
I’m definitely going to get a 422 at some point .
