My PAM111 is gone...
A few days ago, my wife and I walked into a Panerai Boutique just for a casual look. First she tried on the PAM392. Then the PAM177. Since she was not sure about which one to take, she decided to buy an inexpensive aftermarket strap and put it onto my PAM...
Tough and good
Always tough when the wife starts to cultivate the same interests and tastes and start taking your watches :-) Good in the sense that (1) you've proven to hugely successful in influencing and (2) you have an excuse to buy a replacement All in, I think it'...
You are right,
it's a good equation. I took it positively. Always nice to share the same interest and passion with your other half. Thank you for your encouragement. Thumbs up!
Time to say goodbye to your Pam111
And you better hide your Rolex submariner or Daytona because she is coming for those next. It is great to see women with Rolex or Panerai. I love it. Best Bill
You've already guessed what might happen next.
After putting on the Panerai, my wife tried my black 116520 and found it fits her wrist "quite nicely"...... My 116713LN GMT Master II is rather safe though, because my wife doesn't like two tone and "bulky" (according to her) bezel.
Was it a challenge to ...
.... find an appropriately sized strap? Even from an independent strap maker I assumed there would not be a demand for short straps. Does Panerai have appropriate sized straps available or do you have to go to aftermarket sellers? Looks impressive on her ...
Panerai do have their own "official" short version straps,
but it cost much higher than aftermarket ones. My wife's short strap, which only costs USD$ 27, was bought from a local seller in Taiwan. I've heard that there are a few well-known and popular aftermarket strap retailers among Paneristis. Most of them hav...
Thanks for the information.
I should have expected that. There are more Panerai strap options for owners than probably any other brand. Hope your wife really enjoys it. Regards, Andrew
Haha, that's exactly what I suggested her in the first place, but
My wife's requirements are: 1. Crown guard 2. Small second hand 3. Sandwich dial And she insisted that all requirements must be met. --> Radiomirs do not have the crown guard. --> None of the 40mm Panerais has sandwich dial. So, as my PAM111 ticks a...
Yes, I was also surprised when I heard her requirements.
It seems that she had already done some serious studies on PAMs.
Hhehe kiss your PAM111 goodbye :)
But one great thing about this is you have an excuse and probably permission from the boss as well to purchase another Panerai :) I'd get her some more colored leather straps to match her wardrobe, and she'll be one happy camper! Cheers, Anthony
I've written a few times....
that Panerai, for me, it's a state of mind. Regardless of how big the watch is and how small the wrist looks like, under the..hefty..watch, I believe that if SHE decidedes the watch belongs there, it then BELONGS there and I, for one, take my hat off to h...
Looks great on your wife!
If she likes it let her keep it! And it does look great on her too. This may be a good chance for you to get another watch haha! Glad your wife likes the PAM111 Luis. Cheers Robin
It's hers now
And it looks good! My wife wore my 42mm Rad a few times but thought it was too big. I thought it was perfect.
Too big in my opinion
Hi Luis, I think it's great that your wife is sharing your passion and you have allowed her to do so. It will connect you :) However, in my honest opinion, I believe that unless you are a woman with a large wrist that 44mm is too large. 40mm is the perfec...
Thank you very much.
I agree with your view, and I'll try to "persuade" her with your suggestion. ^_^
