You do have a great collection there Felix!!

Maybe you need to give them a rest for a period and come back to them later?

Pams are all the same... Same movements... same dials... same everything... Yet we have to lay so much money for those "same" watches... Too much Hype

I just realized it lately, when I bought AP's... So much more worth the money

At 5 or 6 times the price of Panerai
An AP ( ROO) is the most overpriced watch on the market

Same movements ?? Panerai has quite a few different movements

And Why did you buy your last one 1 or 2 months ago when you think they're boring ?? Tha one on the left with Pig dail (boutique 41?) is a new addition

You have a nice collection,
NOTHING BORING !

I'll take the Radiomir of your hands:-)

Never understood the AP thing...royal oak looks like a tough and solid watch, and then you read the specs...water resistant 100m!!?? Not that I will be diving below 10 m....but feels little like buying a mean looking Japanese sports car that has wings, sleek look, lowered below sea level, sports seat, stripes...and 120 horse power engine.

Amazing collection.

Nothing wrong with a little variety though.

That one in the middle in the first pic is one Megatron of a Pam.

been there...done that.

Put them away for awhile or sell a couple off. Eventually, they will slowly crawl back to your wrist.

I'm sure you have plenty of wrist time for your AP and other brands.

The 418 (Madrid) was my latest addition (M series),.. From then somehow I lost interest in Pams. Your comments made perfect sense, maybe i just need to give them a break for a while..

I think that's the best you can do !
Don't sell them to fast you'll probably regret it one day
You Panerai's are very nice pieces and the pieces you have give enough variety
If you would ever consider buy a few more you can always go for a 372 , 382 , 292 , 360

I mean, Panerai has only 3 different models at first sight but if you look closer they have many different looking watches.

If I had the money I could name without problem 10 different Panerai watches I would like to have. And all 10 of them would look and feel very different.
Your 5 are great and different watches ! Maybe the Madrid and the logo look a bit similar, but I wouldn't mind

great collection you have there

its never too late to realise what you really like/want. thats why the watch "game" is so interesting.

as for the APs... depends on which model are you referring to... the RO and ROO ranges are pretty much "the same", except for the colours and materials used on them.... to some WIS - it is a hype also.

each to his/her own i suppose.

Great collection, hopefully a rest will do it, and like some others have mentioned nothing like a bit of variety.

I Luv Rolex, but I have a couple JLCs, an IWC, a Speedmaster, and a Pam.

Its nice to have a bit of variety to change it up every once in awhile.

Yep, ill just clean em & put em aside for a while, i understand what you're sayin, i've been playing around with pams for quite sometime, around 10 years or so,.. Have gone through lots of them.. 000, 005, 55, 111, 115, 292, 249, 127, 217, 233, 275 etc etc i cant remember. 372, 373 are my next target if i still have appetite for it.. Meanwhile, i wear my Rolex daily & i'm lovin it every single day....

Very nice collection. If you can afford all of these watches, together with APs and who knows what else, your sense of ennui may have a deeper cause than disillusionment with your excess of beautifully designed Italian Swiss watches.

It happens now and then and most of us I think have been at that stage one way or the other. Put them aside and come back some time later. They are great collections really. I don't have PAM yet so wouldn't mind to get your collection :)
