I used to be a Paneristi but haven't gotten anything new in probably 10 years, they still make up a significant part of my collection but I have forgotten 90% of what I knew about them. For years I fought the idea "they only make two watches" because every new detail made me want another one. Ohhh that one has a pig on the dial, gotta have that, a blue dial Submersible well I have to have one of those. The only thing I really wanted back then that I didn't get was a Bronzo but a 44mm Submersible is the largest I can go but I do have a couple of 47mm Radiomirs that I "shouldn't" wear but they are less bulky. The 532 Paneristi Forever was maybe the last one I bought, DLC with a pig on a sandwich dial just too much to say no to even though it is too big.

Ha ha...I feel you on that. 44 is about my max too, although I have an Omega Ploprof so it kind of busts that up although the lug to lug size isn't too bad. I have the 87 and an 05 I had DLC'd to look like the 195. If I could go back I would give the 00 the DLC treatment. I love a no date dial. I have the bad habit of doing minor customizing on some of mine (the two PAMs and removed the cyclops off a new red/anniversary Sea Dweller). I really want an Omega Speedmaster Mitsukoshi.....will go the modded route as they are much much less expensive and made with OEM parts anyway.

Was hoping Rolex would have done that new Ti Yachty as a no date, like the prototype, but non dice. Maybe next year they will. Otherwise...i might get one and remove the cyclops (not a fan).
