OK
My first Panerai was the 233 (what a mistake to start at the top)
I have it and love it!
It will be back on my wrists good as new from the Panerai Service
Center in Dallas VERY soon.

In the midst of the wait I freaked out (fell in love with wearing a Panerai
when I was convinced for eons they were too big and not the watch for me)
so in my freak out I got a J 090 which is like new (dealer doesn't even think
it was ever worn) which will be here Monday or Tuesday.

Anyway the more I look at the pics the less crazy I am about the 090 and the more I realize I don't really want another Panerai as the 233 does it all! I thought of a 317 or a 311 even the Flyback BUT I have NO use for a Chrono and have avoided buying one for years for that reason. The ones I had previously were never used and I always asked myself why I bought them.

So, what do I do now.... I guess I am gonna have to flip the 090 BUT there is really nothing else in that price range I am craving I can think of at this time....

WatchTimes · 6 April 2009, 11:13 AM

There I go??

I am confused??? What are you saying?

I tell you, I REALLY want the Glashutte Original Sports Evo Perpetual Calendar but I haven't even seen one for sale used yet :(

Check out a nice RAD.

You'll be sooooorrryyyyy.......

WatchTimes · 6 April 2009, 12:07 PM

I have tried the Rads and they just don't do it for me...
My wrists are on the smaller side and they are a touch dressy for me.

tuisquash · 6 April 2009, 12:30 PM

they are very diferent watches, you problaby bought this for a good price, so you can sell w/o loss money.
I think you are just like me, very impulsive, be calm and try use it some days.

WatchTimes · 6 April 2009, 12:32 PM

Oh yes, I traded into this.
Someone wanted something I had which would have
been a hard trade and I got the better end of the deal.
I can sell it BUT I much rather trade hahaha as when I sell
the money always goes somewhere else instead of saving
it towards another watch.

sphereman · 6 April 2009, 01:17 PM

hmm... i used to be a luminor/1950 case guy.. hated the radiomirs...
until i put the 232 on my wrist.

i had a 112, 000, 005, 233, 270 and 111 (all lumionr or 1950 case watches). all i have right now is the 232..

try on some radiomir ones.. they are super cool... i would start from the 183.

Ummm....you put a 190 first in your hand. Then you strap it on your wrist. What follows is pure love for the perfection that not only the movement demands, but what the presence commands.

A quality RAD just does something for the soul.

JYogi- I hope to make the 233 my next PAM....after the SS Daytona purchase.

Methinks Panerai has something VEEEERY speacial.

WatchTimes · 7 April 2009, 10:17 PM

I have tried on both the 190 and 232.
Just not for me... Too dressy, a bit big
and just doesn't give me that tingly feeling.

If I was gonna get a Rad it would be the 98 BUT
I think there are much better alarm watches for my
money.

The 212 and 213 are the two Panerai's I like the look
of BUT as I have said before I just have no use for a
Chrono.....

Perhaps a Romain Jerome is calling my name.
I really think its going to be the RJ, a Blancpain
Fifty Fathoms (prices have really gone down on the
second hand!) or a Glashutte Original Sports
Evo Perp Cal (BUT I can't find them used at all)

a slight dilemma indeed, your best option indeed might be to sell it off, trading will be hard if you are looking for these specific watches. Or just relax the money is spend already and see what else x-es your path that you might like.
