Thread: Looking for a daily watch...so confused

Thanks for the great information guys.

I don't wear a suit on a daily basis. Maybe 3 times a week or so. Usually I wear a polo and jeans or a button down sports shirt and jeans as typical office wear.

Even though I am careful, I am a bit concerned about scratching the bezel on the ROO. Here is what I am thinking as of this minute...and that is likely to change 1 minute from now. I am thinking I should get the PAM 90 as my normal daily watch, and a few months down the road I'll get a ROO to have as an occational watch.

Next question though, where do you guys by your straps from? Also, is there a custom guy/site I can order a custom strap through?

Thanks again!

here are a few of the panerai custom strap companies:

rob montana
micah
kaktus-straps
greg straps
ammo straps

Great info in this tread...

I went to the Jacob & Co store in manhattan a few years ago, when diamonds were the big thing. Not really a fan of their overpriced cheap movement watches, but any thoughts about the "Epic II" watch? I just pulled up his site and it caught my eye, but I haven't never heard of it before. Any info? It seems like his watches can be had for pretty cheap prices due to his "situation".

Jacob just went to jail for money laundering...that was pretty epic.

Go for the PAM, and from there it will moore PAM's and moore straps for sure.

I own the Pam 90 and quite a few other Panerai, in addition the AP Roo Safari & rubber clad. Pam 90 was my first Panerai, dress it up or down depending on the strap, fantastic watch with the power reserve, can't go wrong.

As for the AP, I wear mine often-no problems with the bezel, wear it & if it scratches, oh well buy another aprox $800. Buy the one that sings to you.

I am now torn between the PAM 90 and the steel JLC Extreme World Chrono.

Opinions between the 2?
