Ruined!
I've had quite the Panerai collection but I've found myself increasingly only wearing one. The 372 has ruined the brand for me and I can honestly say that (for now) I'd be content if I only had the 372 as my sole Panerai - and it's not even gold! Have you been ruined by a particular model?

Mike, all I think about is the 372. Such a simple and beautiful piece. It is for sure my next purchase. Looks great on your wrist.

whether one piece or several, every collection should have at least one panerai, IMO.

I totally agree with you; I came to the same conclusion some time ago. if you are gonna have a Panerai just buy the 372 and I you would be good for life, plus you will save money
It's a classic

about a 372, but when would I where it? Or, maybe I'd just wear it. The key words are "(for now)", mate! |

Not ruined, Mike but at the moment the only Panerai that i have in the collection is the 372. I am pretty sure that 372 is here to stay.
The other day i was thinking what other Panerai has the same qualities as the 372 for long time ownership. For me is the 232. 372 and 232, the perfect duo if you want to have tons of Panerai DNA but not willing to spend tons of money. |

I am still undecided between the 372 and 422.

I know exactly how you feel Mike. But with this passion that we have for horology I doubt if your love for just one PAM will be satisfied. I used to say that for my 000, 212 and 183 but with my 372, I feel that the beast has been fed. Till that 389 showed up at the AD window.

The 305 does it for me, even though I would never get rid of my 233.
