Something soo captivating with the brand. Own all the big name watches, and I am most impressed by the Panerai build quality. It feels soo substantial. Great vid!
This is so ABSOLUTELY beautiful and simple and just so desirable. It looks great on that wrist. Now I want one more then ever. It is true, until you try it on and give it a minute or two it is so hard not to fall in love with that Sandwich dial, that super unique crown guard, simple face set up and just about any strap you put on it. What a watch, thanks for making this video. Long live the Paneristi ! ~"Love the watch you wear"~
I got into luxury watches a few months ago and I have a Tudor. Panerai went from zero to wanted in my view over the last 2 weeks once I tried it on for myself. It’s definitely on my wish list for in a few years
Just came across your channel and this vid. Amazing content! Incredible watch! It really ticks all those boxes. Could almost be a 1 watch collection contender...
Congrats to your latest addition to your collection. The 111 is a beautiful watch and to be preferred over the newer in-house movements, not a big fan of them. Great review of a great watch, keep them coming. Have a happy new year soon, all the best, Konstantin 👍🏻🙏🏻
you need to do more reviews. loved the pacing the style ... very well done. Captured the essence of the watch as well ... could have been an extended advertisement for panerai :)
Awesome video. Like you, (as i understand from your video) I’ve never been overly enamoured with the Panerai oversized jumbo dimension vibe. I didn’t hate them but they didn’t appeal. However, I can see from this video the calm open mindedness with which you approached this purchase. The overcoming of one’s initial misgivings and doubts has a unique pleasure of its very own if one decides that there is something worthy in the final analysis. (I very much appreciate the balance the subdial gives to the enormous trademark crown guard). The strap too compliments/offsets the gun steel aesthetic of the dial and case. As always, I applaud your taste and the life philosophy that is enabled by it (and vice versa).
I have this watch. It's a favorite in my collection and I wear it all the time. So many miserable sods slagging anything off they do not like. Horses for courses!
Beautiful watch. I have one Panerai in my collection, the 359. I like it a lot, in fact that is one watch everyone in my family and friend circle unanimously like! I bought my watches not as investments, I bought them just because I love their looks, quality and appeal. There would be opinions about any watch based on personal preferences or from an investment point of view, but if you like it, thats all matters. Wear it well.
exactly what happened to me.... never considered panerai when i was buying my first watch till i held one in my hand.. now a proud owner of a pam 112,,
Excellent video. I’ve had this same watch in my collection for ~12 years and still enjoy it as much as ever. Other watches have come and gone but this one will stay. The versatile strap thing is fun. I recently put my 111 on a nubuck alligator strap and it's a whole new watch. I’ve tried the strap swap thing with Cartier, Rolex and Breitling but it just isn’t the same. I prefer those on the original bracelet/strap they came on.
Trendy Brown Panerai watches have en reputation for being scratchmagnets. Would you agree with that, after having the watch for so long. Or would you not consider it different from any other watch with big surfaces of polished steel?
@@michaelt909 Panerai watches seem unique in that they age well as they gain flea bites and scratches. Nothing has happened to mine in all those years that has diminished it. Recently I sent it in for service as it started running oddly (sometimes fast sometimes slow). I'm sure it was due for service but I never send my watches in until there is a problem. In addition to servicing the movement it came back looking new. They even replaced the sapphire crystal and the documentation said it was replaced due to a scratch and I hadn't noticed that. In any case, it looks brand spankin new. But new or well worn, it's a great looking watch.
Nice video review. And beautiful watch. I find Panerai at 44mm too big for my taste but I know they make 40mm model. But is obviously worked for you and that's all that counts. Enjoy!
Bro you are by far my go to for watch reviews. Fuck erbody else. I get the thought provoking feeling that people like me are, shall we say, as an atypical watch enthusiast; feeling disconnected from the current selection of creators of watch content on TH-cam. You sir, are deserving of my attention.
Very very nice looking watch. While I don't like the crown guards they definitely have me intrigued. (not sure if I used any of the above words correct English isn't my first language 😂)
Great cool video,yes 44mm and eta is a good choice,but I bought a marina militare 3yrs ago to see how it looks and feels it is so amazing I don’t bother to spend out on a panerai so I bought a Rolex but the inexpensive marina is amazing,and Rolex is a much better investment than a Pam.
Buying a used Panerai from anybody other than an authorized dealer can be a really dangerous activity. The replicas of these watches are so well done that only somebody with a lot of experience servicing these pieces will be able to tell a copy form an original on some of the models. The 111 is particularly risky because the noob factory replica has been refined extensively. (Seven versions) Caveat Emptor, folks!
Not that I don't believe you or anything, but do you know where these replicas are from? All the replicas I've seen have been decently obviously and it'd be interesting to know where the more clone-like replicas are coming from
@@87channels They come from China and Vietnam. I'm not knocking them, I own several. My point is, they're becoming so good that anybody purchasing an expensive vintage piece like a 6538, 6542 or even one of the earlier 5512's, had better be extremely careful.
Probably the slickest watch review I've ever seen. 10/10 for everything.
Something soo captivating with the brand. Own all the big name watches, and I am most impressed by the Panerai build quality. It feels soo substantial. Great vid!
Great video, I'm thinking of buying a pam111 and after this video I'm another step closer. Thank you 👍
Just discovered this channel. Amazing. Now gonna go through every single one of your vids!

Buying this for my 50th. Beautiful on so many levels. "My experiences, my heritage" Perfect.
Was looking for a good Panerai Luminor review and found this - it's perfect. Love the watch.
Your video makes me want to buy one. Fantastic production, very classy editing.
Great review! Great video!
I have a Pam1351 and just got a Pam448...love these watches and cants stop reading about their history and role in WWII.
Love these watches, and screw anyone who complains about them. Thats my favorite model. Well done video.
Awesome video. Love the comments regarding the eta movement and the value of the watch in your life. Nicely done!
Agreed. Love the brand
Have a 00029.
Will never change it

Man that Panerai looks great
That’s one beautiful watch.
There’s nothing cooler than a manually wound watch with a transparent case back.
Great video and congrats on the watch! Looks perfect on your wrist.
Awesome video and congrats on your new PAM!!!
Nice video. I bought my PAM 111 around 2006 ...I love it!
Just came across your channel and this vid. Amazing content! Incredible watch! It really ticks all those boxes. Could almost be a 1 watch collection contender...
I noticed my strap got pretty worn out after a year, had to replace it.
But I loved it, amazing watch.
Congrats to your latest addition to your collection. The 111 is a beautiful watch and to be preferred over the newer in-house movements, not a big fan of them.
Great review of a great watch, keep them coming.
Have a happy new year soon, all the best, Konstantin 👍🏻🙏🏻
Fantastic, great vid and nice review. Love the simplicity of that model, seriously considering one very similar but with the alligator strap
What a fantastic video! I really want this watch. 99 percent sure its my next significant purchase
Looks like you found yours!
Excellent! This is definitely a brand that has to grow on you, but when it does.... Thanks for sharing!
Nice video. Well done. It’s nice to hear why you chose that watch.
Excellent production values. And that 44mm looks good on you.
you need to do more reviews. loved the pacing the style ... very well done. Captured the essence of the watch as well ... could have been an extended advertisement for panerai :)
So nice! Good choice! I have a pam372 with plexi and is so amazing!! Is a 47mm but it feels so good on the wrist!
That Panerai looks Awesome- Great history -Great brand My Pam 372 Said Hi!
Beautiful watch.. Great video... Loved it
Beautiful! My 112 says hi!
Thanks man, just ordered one lol... my 2nd one, sold the First and regretted it immediately
Wonderful review, thank you for taking the time to craft/edit.
Great! I really enjoyed your video! Well done!
Bravo and congratulations!
I’ve been watching your old videos now and its funny you sound so serious here and you only mentioned your 7” wrist once, only Once! 😮
Such a great review. Congrats again

MrAristaeus Thank you and well said.
What a classy video. Loved it so much I just pulled the pin on one 😍
I had the EXACT SAME THING. I hated them; put one on; never took it off.
I have the exact same watch. I bought it for the same three reasons you mentioned.
I have this watch. It's a favorite in my collection and I wear it all the time. So many miserable sods slagging anything off they do not like. Horses for courses!
Excellent video/presentation!
Terrific video. Great job 👍
true words at the end, great watch, great story!
Panerai are simple the most beautifully designed , it’s sublime and unique

It looks really nice on your wrist, good pick up.
I bought a Panerai Pam 422 47m case size and l love it bought from watchfinder its a must have in any Watch Collection.
Great video, building my watch collection (with Rolex submariner being my first watch) I will definitely be adding this watch to my collection.
Great video! I thought this was Watchfinder's video at first, based on the thumbnail lol.
Katholika Setiawan High praise
Katholika Setiawan totally agree with you.. Same thoughts
Fool me once - shame on you
Same. I eschewed Panerai until I tried one on. Now my Panerai is my favorite watch.
It looks nice on the video. I’d have to try it on before I can pass judgment.
exactly what happened to me.... never considered panerai when i was buying my first watch till i held one in my hand.. now a proud owner of a pam 112,,
What a lovely looking watch 👍
Beautiful Watch! Bought for the right reasons.
1. The size
2. The look
3. The.. MVMT
Heritage everyone!
I never had an aspiration for a luxury watch! Until I got my first Luminor last literally last weekend! I can’t take my eyes off of it!
Congratulations! The Italians know a thing or two about beauty, elegance and charm.
Nice editing. Great video.
Beautiful watch !

You make me want to own every watch you review!
Michael Osherow Maybe you should try one for a few days
Love their watches 💪🏾
What a unique and beautiful watch. Congratulations
i have 111 too, love it !!
I wear mine every day, and really love it.
Good looking Panerai!
The Transporter watch 👌
Sweet. I like them
Best pam in my opinion!
This watch is one of the Best watch.
This was very beautiful
This might be 'the" Panerai to own, fine choice.
What an awesome video
I love it. It is the best Panerai.
It looks really good
best review ever
Great pick up. Can never go wrong with a Pan! Especially ones that are limited to under 1500 made.
per year, you know it right? ;)
Peacemaker I still don’t see many people have them. It’s like a pretty exclusive bunch. But watch enthusiasts know and can spot it far away.
@@richsun247 well, yea... I know... I just sold today my second 112 and I'm a little sad about that :) but show must go on :)

Excellent video, very well done! Have you bought any more Panerai’s since?
Very good video, thank you very much!
Luv panerai so much . My first watch =)
Great video! Planning to add it to my collection as well. Whats the price range in the used market for it roughly?
My favorite model too - they're getting harder to find in good condition with box and papers now...
Congrats
What a beauty.
Great cool video,yes 44mm and eta is a good choice,but I bought a marina militare 3yrs ago to see how it looks and feels it is so amazing I don’t bother to spend out on a panerai so I bought a Rolex but the inexpensive marina is amazing,and Rolex is a much better investment than a Pam.
Good choice ✌
Love it.
Despite all the hate, that is a beautiful watch.
such a classic watch
nice choice
Do you recommend it?
The 111 is quintessential
Well said.☺️
Great presentation. I happen to dislike Panerai but its a good video nonetheless.
Thanks, I just bought a PAM111

Would you mind sharing artist and song name in the soundtrack? Thanks.
