Everyday or on occasion?

Curious if you wear your Panerai everyday or just for dress? I ask because I was asked that question while at a AD. I indicated everyday ..... Daily driver for me not just for dress up. What about you guys? I assume the watch is durable enough?

Thanks

I was under the impression panerai didn't make dress watches. Either way, you're fine to wear pretty much any watch everyday.

The limiting factor is me not the Panerai. It can be worn daily.

Yes - everyday and dress. I don't think you have to worry about durability. Here's the dress followed by the everyday version:

My PAMs are in the daily rotation. Why would you buy it if you couldn't wear it?

I wear my Panerai's in a rotation but of course it's an everyday watch. I don't wear it with a suit though but that's not to say you can't wear it for dress. Just ask Cru.

I wear my pam with all attire in rotation with my Rolex...
Good thing with pam is that strap can be changed to suit any occasion

Daily for the 44 / 45 .... But the 47 are more of a weekender for me.

My Panerai has become my every day watch and with a quick strap change, it is my dress watch.i am waiting for the honeymoon to end but it hasn't.. My Rolex and Omega tend to been left in the watch box because of the Pam versatility.

For me, Panerai is more of a weekend watch. I may be in the minority though..

All day, any day in rotation for me. Dress up/dress down. Gator for work, ammo or canvas for the weekends. For me, a 44mm Bettarini case is totally versatile.

At work, I alternate my 164 on gator with a LVc Submariner. The only "rule" is it's all good so long as it looks good.

Seriously? Wear away, my friend.

Many like the Radiomir for dressier occasions.

I usually wear a Reverso or a GMT just because I can't button the cuff with my PAMs.

If it has to be dressy, like black tie, it is Rolex not Pam ... If it is a normal day at work, it can be any Pam with any strap. I think you can wear a sporty watch with a business suit. Sometimes i feel my 372 is too big to be worn with a suit ...

All day everyday. Of course, it's a matter of personal taste.

I wear mine everyday, but I don't use suits or any formal clothes at work. I've worn my Luminor with a suit at a few occasions.

I'm with Cru, It's all good as long as it looks good!
