frimble 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Ok I admit they're dead sexy watches but why are they soooooo popular on here? I think the simplicity of the 177 is great and of course I want one but I'm looking for a skinny watch. Pref something with a black dial, clear numbers (not roman numerals) and a silver coloured case. Sounds simple but I'm having a hard time finding one! OK the Patek below would be idea but I'm can't find a rep and a gen is everso slightly out of my price range!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaykay 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Thought the exact same thing when I joined this forum. But I bought one, wore it for a bit and now fully understand why If you haven't already, get a cheap rep and feel the loooove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frimble 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Ok confession time ... don't most of the panerais look very similar. What would you recommend as a starter? Anything I should avoid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaykay 0 Posted January 26, 2012 I'm definitely not the most knowledgable on this, but when I was contemplating getting one I started with a 8 days GMT. Later on moved on to a proper 111. I think that's a nice classic look. Chunky, manly watches, but still with loads of style and elegance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted January 26, 2012 They all look the same. I have 5, and all different - 090, 196, 253, 308 and 104. But still didn't catch "PAM bug". Yes, nice watches, just one of the brands, that's it. Simple, on the edge of primitivity, most have just 3 or even 2 hands... dial look empty. No, not "clean", but fucking EMPTY.

gB. 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Much you have to learn young padiwan... :yoda: Don't buy anything for at least a week. Just read and search topics on the matter before you think about buying anything. If you still feel compelled, buy a cheap low end one to start. It is addicting. You have been forewarned. Oh, and BTW, if you're the whiny cunt Tissotman, fuck off! If not, then welcome, mkay?

NFleischer 4,355 Posted January 27, 2012 Ok confession time ... don't most of the panerais look very similar. What would you recommend as a starter? Anything I should avoid? I'd recommend the 005 to start- awesome rep, simple but has second hand and Logo dial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottahaverolex 0 Posted January 27, 2012 I second Noel's suggestion! One of the nicest reps and super close to gen. Next would be a 111 Noob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted January 27, 2012 Aha... and you have to guess - is it 2:46pm or 2:47pm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gB. 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Aha... and you have to guess - is it 2:46pm or 2:47pm... Could be AM instead of PM too. Better be sure to start with a model with a GMT hand just to be safe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sacster 0 Posted January 27, 2012 I'll weigh in.....they're too big and a 40mm is too hard to find. Not suitable for smaller wrists/arms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frimble 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Dont think I'm Tissotman ... was he fat, bald and broke too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frimble 0 Posted January 27, 2012 But does anyone know of a slim watch like the one in my first post? See you've damn well got me wanting a panerai now. Must focus!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chum_2000_uk 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Could be tissotman... It's not Tissotman; his grammar and punctuation is not that of a 5 year old's. I received many a PM from Tissotman when he was trying to scam me, I'd know his child-like sentence structure anywhere! What a c**t!!! I'll weigh in.....they're too big and a 40mm is too hard to find. Not suitable for smaller wrists/arms MTFU and wank more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chum_2000_uk 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Dont think I'm Tissotman ... was he fat, bald and broke too? He will be broke if he comes here again... as Greg is going to tell us all where he lives (although I already know this) so that we can go and take a lead pipe to his face.
