My beast of a Christmas present has finally arrived with the shark proof strap I wanted! Here's to destroying shirt cuffs in 2014!
The Ploprof has to be one of ugliest watches made but I'd love one!Riff Raff said:

Pam 372
I'd like a bit more info on the 372 plese from a owners perspective; is it the holy grail of Luminors? Just how good is that movement and the 3-day reserve in action? I have a 45mm Radiomir, how does the 47mm 73 wear by comparison?
I am slightly tempted to take a punt...
It's a great watch. Has the patina yellow /tan lume, plexiglass & in house 3 day movement.
The movement itself is great, you get a genuine 3 days from it & so far (18 months) it' doesn't gain or lose time. It makes the daily winding of the 176 seem like a chore.
I was initially worried about the plexiglass picking up marks & stretches etc, but in reality it's been very robust. Panerai also give you a spare plexi in the box & will replace the first one free.
The watch itself wears well though it's a no go under work shirt cuffs.
Have a look at paneristi.com under dealers market for a chap called Paul Thorpe. He has a great collection for sale (over 100!!) & has a 372 for under £5k if you fancy a dabble.

Picked this up today as a complete impulse purchase.
No box / papers but think I paid a price that it would always be worth, so just have the pleasure of wearing it "for free" if you get my man maths.....
Now shares a home with these:

Picked this up just before christmas.
Cor, congratulations!
I tried one on before Christmas too, wear my watches on my right wrist and slightly loose so wasn't sure I could live with the crown guard on the back of my hand!
It feels amazingly well made doesn't it, the clasp somehow really got my attention too!
Somewhere on the web I found a pic of one on a black nylon looking strap with orange stiching, looked great!
Google pics of how Gianni Agnelli used to wear his Plo Prof (and any watch) for a laugh!
