Reaching out to Panerai

Always loved all of my Rolex watches (and always will) and never thought I would transition to anything else. Looks like after five Rolex watches it was time for me to switch gears and look to Panerai......I'm not disappointed one bit. Now I understand why some of you guys/gals go nuts over this watch maker

I'm also beginning to realized that I can't stop looking at my 88! The size of the watch and the bold skeleton hour and minute hands just demand attention. Plus I don't think anyone will be asking what time it is unless they stepping up to a compliment. Otherwise they can tell time from my 88 from a mile away. Soooo easy to read
