So I went and looked at some Panerai. Loved them! Went to my regular dealer in the mall and bought this. It is 42mm got a pretty good price.

Sometimes my mind is feeble and I seem to jump into decisions.

I am going to write a review comparing it with my 2254.50 sometime this week.

Uncle-AJ · 22 May 2006, 12:10 PM

Congratulations on the new watch.

Not quite a Panny, but it's very nice .

Must come with a large bracelet, looks like it fits just right

ralphieralph · 22 May 2006, 12:54 PM

Congrats!!!Thank God it's not ORANGE for Ed's sake

: chuckle:

dman · 22 May 2006, 02:07 PM

Congrats! I like that black PO alot.

Couple of ?'s.....what made you choose the 42mm over the 45 and why the decision not to go Pannie? No biggie, just wondering.

You got a great watch, congrats again.

SLRdude · 22 May 2006, 02:59 PM

Great watch Haj!

Orange?

mamas · 22 May 2006, 04:49 PM

congratulations on a great purchase.. iam asure it will give you many years of service!

JJ Irani · 22 May 2006, 04:57 PM

That's a cracker, Haj. Congrats!!

The more I look at it, I feel it's definitely more attractive than the orange one!!

mailman · 22 May 2006, 07:03 PM

Nice looking watch Haj. Good luck with it

padi56 · 22 May 2006, 07:08 PM

Rockrolex · 23 May 2006, 11:40 PM

I was going to ignore Chip's post and merely congratulate BB on his new acquisition. But then that BKL sheepophile had to pop up with his own take on that POS and I can't ignore it any longer.

!!!!AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

Biblebanger · 24 May 2006, 01:22 PM

Thank You guys! I think I will have to put my 2254.50 back on the rubber strap for a while. I need to write up a comparison review for the two.

Haj

So Haj, why the change of heart with the Pannies? Did they just not sing the same in person? I know that happens to alot of people.

To tell you the truth I really thought they were spectacular looking. Totally different than what I usually like. I just did not feel confident in spending that kind of money on a watch that I might not wear as much.

On another note I was not impressed with the way I was treated at the dealer. They were very helpful until I said that I would probably think about it and come back later. She rudely told me that I should put a deposit down on the watch because they are really quick to move and that it could be gone by this afternoon. I said that I would take my chances. She then gave me a look and acted like I was totally wasting her time. Not impressed.

You should have flexed those "Popeye" forearms at her, Haj....those would have impressed her for sure!!

Spencer · 25 May 2006, 04:35 AM

Congrats!

That's funny, I sold my Omega PO for a Panerai.

25 May 2006, 04:52 AM

The black PO is certainly a nice looking watch (much better than the orange abomination!) but VERY different from Panerai. Funny you say you weren't confident on dropping that kinda dough on a watch you may not wear as much... only because I fear my Rolex may gather a lot of dust now that I HAVE my panerai!

Launch Mini · 25 May 2006, 06:13 AM

She wasn't just trying to sell you the Panerai. They do move very fast.
A few weeks ago, my AD called me , just to come look at a 197 Rad ( Pink Gold, beautiful watch for around $24k), JUST TO LOOK.

She called a second time less that 24 hours later SOLD.

She did make sure that I got to see it before she delivered to the customer

I understand completely. I went to buy an Explorer II and came home with this.

Biblebanger · 26 May 2006, 09:16 AM

Nice peice Mr. From New York.

I have looked at that watch many times. Now that I have two black SMP's I may need to think about that one harder. I would think that I could sell my 2254 and get a white GMT pretty close.
