Panerai Vegas Shops

Just looking for some help! I will be in Vegas next week and called the Panerai Boutique who told me they dont have any Luminor 47mm. I want to try one on for sizing compared to 44mm. Any other options out there?

I was just there last weekend; bought a new strap from the boutique. There is a Watches of Switzerland store in the Palazzo shoppes. I didn’t go in but I am pretty sure they sell Panerai’s.

I went to both shops and tried on one of the few 47mm’s they had ( a submersible) to see if a 47mm would work on my wrist (it’s possible)….Very limited inventory…

Is it just me or do their new watches look boring compared to the ones they have recently discontinued?

Agree, tend to prefer older models … 995, 372, 127, 217, 233 and others

Personally having a tough time choosing between two right now

Reflecting on my recent trip to Vegas, the visit to the watch stores were the most disappointing. No one seemed to have any inventory. In the case of Panarei, I tried to talk to the guy at the corporate store in the Forum and I expressed my enthusiasm for the brand and all the classic models discussed on this board. The guy could not be less interested, just wanted to sell the pitifully few models he had in stock. Not a way to build long-term relationships, nor to create momentum and buzz for the future.

Lots of submersibles available...I am sure some people like these. I am not one of them (don't like the Patek Nautilus either).

I did try on a 47mm to see if it looked too big...

I thought I was unique in this world. There are others like me.
