No AD visit is complete without a 233 test drive.

Very nice. The 372 looks good on you, Eric! But then so does that 233 :)

Last time my friend went to the Toronto AD about a month ago I believe they still had a 372 for sale at list. Not sure if it's still around now though.

I am still on the list so the next one that comes in is mine if I want it.

I almost picked up a 233 when I got my 114 but the wife talked me out of it, told me it looked too busy, but that might have been becuase she seen both price tags.

The glass on the 372 is way bigger and the AD was showing me that the watch comes with a spare one.

Those look very big (but nice, of course) Eric! Are they 44 mm or 48?

Thank you for sharing!

Eric, I do think you can pull off the 47mm. Unfortunately the 47mm is a bit too big for my wrist.


Cheers,
James

The Panerai AD in Toronto is Humbertown Jewellers. Unfortunately I have never seen them ever offer a discount for a Panerai though....but then it could also be because I haven't bought enough from them.

They do have great service and very knowledgeable, but for discounts you might have to look elsewhere (for Panerai, as they do offer discounts on others).

They are also a Rolex, IWC, JLC and PP AD so I do love going there to check out watches every once in a while

Cheers,
James

It sure is a nice watch Mik.

I like the glass and the movement, but if I had a choice I would take a 390 over it

Congrats! The 372 is beautiful. I am not sure I could pull off 47mm, but it looks great.

Great to see a fellow Calgarian, I imagine there aren't many of us around here!

It looks sweet on your wrist. To be honest it looks better than 44mm.
