Panerai Watches; Big, Bold, Beautiful???

p-008.jpgIn the heart of the New York City Diamond District where I work, dressing up in the latest fashion and attire is an integral part of the 'sale' for every diamond merchant and seller.

Owning and wearing an expensive luxury watch and timepiece, has always been a staple for the many merchants and diamond dealers that stroll the streets of the diamond district.

I myself, am somewhat of a watch fanatic and enjoy wearing an elegant timepiece (right now a Piaget Protocole on a leather strap).

Lately, I 've noticed a trend amongst my colleagues. It seems that more and more people are hooking up with the Panerai Watch as their staple timepiece.

Although incredibly popular, (even cultish) and boasting excellent design and manufacture, I have never been particularly smitten by this watch line simply because of its uber sized cases that look almost as if you are wearing a clock on your wrist!!

Nowadays though, I am seeing more and more of these watches adorning the wrists of many dealers and jewelers.

Panerai Timepieces seem to be peaking right now with everyone clamoring for one. The wholesalers on the street cannot keep up with the demand and the restriction of these timepieces from entering the gray market is quite impressive. This relationship between supply and demand is driving prices up, not to mention elevating its demand and cultish status amongst all watch brands.

I'm kinda on the fence here...

On the one hand I recognize the timeless quality and craftsmanship of the Panerai Watch.

However, I still think it's too big....certainly for formal attire....

Yes, it is big and bold......question is...is it beautiful?

Do I join the club and take the plunge for one of these watches...or do I continue to stay away..opting for something a bit more elegant???

Hmm...decisions.....decisions.....

For the moment, the hefty price tags for these watches proves to be an admirable force for maintaining the status quo..

...Hey, I've got an idea though....I'll swap a few beautiful diamonds for one of these timepieces!!

Sounds like a plan?

Anybody game?? :) :)

Not too long ago I found this post and have appreciated the content. I look forward to long term tips and can certainly link to your and inform the people. Thank you very much.

Well written page, well researched and usefull for me now. I am so delightful you took the time and effort to write this page. Will be back before long to read more about this issue.

Hello. This article was extremely of interest to me, particularly because I was looking for information on this subject yesterday.

Among the most convenient sites I have uncovered for facts within this definite niche market. I'll be coming back daily for new posts.

Awesome website. You surely know what you are discussing about here. I am so glad I was able to find your post. I expect to read more great writing from you. Keep up the awesome work

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives. http://www.factasy.com/

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

What I want to know is why I should care? I mean, not to say that what youve got to say isnt important, but I mean, its so generic. Everyones talking about this man. Give us something more, something that we can get behind so we can feel as passionately about it as you do.
