I lusted after a Panerai for over 20 years.
And then I finally got a Panerai Luminor Marina PAM00005.
I had it for a few months, it was very nice, I liked it.
But I couldn't help the creeping feeling that I was disappointed.
It's probably my fault, I mean how can anything live up to 20 years of expectation?
Anyway...
...I went back to the folk I bought it from, asking how much they'd give me in p/x for it against another watch.
Imagine my shock when they told me they weren't interested in having the watch back in P/X.
This was about 18 months ago.
I'd give a Panerai a miss.
Just my 2 pennies worth.
