422 and 510 - Got to try them on and compare!

I think I'm over my small wrist complex and am currently lusting for that 422. Ya hear me, Mike?!

I have a 422, I love it and I general I am not the biggest Panerai fan!

422 looks good on you, so, between the 510 and 422, the 422 is really a no-brainer.

If cost and size do not matter, then the 422. If either one of those matter to you then I'd pick the 510.

Poor 510, not a single soul for it?! Maybe it's because the 422 is just THAT amazing.

I like 510, what size is your wrist? They both look good to me.

buddy Kaue!

Have you thought about 372? With secondary pricing at such attractive point and the plexi (with a spare to boot).. it's almost getting really hard to resist!!

Good luck hunting!

Best,

Fred

Hey there, Fred!

You are right, the 372 is a great piece, which becomes even more attractive if bought lightly used. I considered it when looking at the historic collection, and ended up favouring the 422 because of the small seconds an cool pr indicator on the back.

Tough choices when one is flerting with their first pam!

Cheers, my friend!

My 422 very seldom leaves my wrist. When it does, it's because I feel sorry for my 000 or my Planet Ocean and want them to still feel loved. :)

The 422 is my favorite of any watch I've ever owned. You can dress it up with a nice black strap, or make it very casual with an old ammo strap.

i have the 422 and now i am looking at the 510 for daily watch as the 47 mm size of 422 might be big for everyday work at the office...

Both look great on you, you can definitely go for 47, unfortunately I can't, even bought one but it was really too big and ridiculous, finally sold it after a week, but for you no problem
