So bought a 112 to compliment my rolex lvc a fortnight ago, as I've been hankering after a Panerai watch for a little while.
Did the inevitable and visited my local Panerai stockist to order an additional strap (assolutamente).
Helpfully and suspect cunningly, the very helpful sales assistant let me try on a 422 to see what the strap looks like in the flesh.
After a week of deciding and having my wife pinch my 112 as she loves it, I bought the 422 today.
I know they said buying a Panerai could be addictive for the straps but this is altogether a different proposition.
Both watches are great by the way and can't see the rolex getting much wrist time now - just looks too small now.
