My Pam111 eventually arrived, never had a Panerai before to me the pictures you see of them don't do them justice a really nice watch (chunky so I get not everyone's cup of tea) but I'm pleased as I like chunky and it's what they always were.

The sandwich dial is great and the fairly workmen like movement is nicely finished.

I know 99% of you won’t like this but I’m in love with this AP. Factory diamond and limited edition run. Being in my late 20’s I’ve had my eye on this watch for a while now. I’m trying to come to an agreement with the seller on a better price. If all goes well I’m looking to pull the trigger soon.

I think that is absolutely fking hideous.

That’s irrelevant of course, on a couple of fronts. One, I’d never be able to afford it, even if I did like it. Two, it’s what you like, so my opinion won’t change that (nor should it).

You are being overkind.

Agree with your second paragrah mind.

You have questionable taste in watches but you seem to be an excellent judge of character.

I’m not a fan of AP watches at all, even the “plain” ones. The styling isn’t my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the “engineering” of them. Although the “slotted bolts” disproportionately annoy me. No need.

I was just wondering if it was a requirement for Watch stores to notify the police when one of these is purchased under the "There is no chance the money is legit" law. I was relieved to see "Dibble" is/are already on the case

I think your crimes were hideous.
I am not an AP fan either and adding diamonds to a man's watch has never improved the looks imo. However, I am old enough to be your father so what do I know. I am going to guess negative feedback from old people is part of the driver for buying the watch. So, I support this purchase even if I genuinely would not wear it if it was given to me.

Awful, if only because it shouts ‘I couldn’t afford the full 18k pave bracelet’

I'm a millenial and I think that looks quite sedate.
Compared to the rainbow daytona monstrosity.

Big nope for me, but then I don't want a gold wrapped Ferrari either.

My first 'smart watch'. Thought I'd give one a try and couldn't justify £hundreds on a Garmin Fenix.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Sometimes just because you can doesn't mean you should!
