My First Panerai Watch + Why Now Is The BEST Time To Buy - 40mm Luminor PAM00048 Unboxing & Review

Рет қаралды 219,507

Жыл бұрын

I'm kicking off 2023 with a true luxury icon-and one I never expected to own-the Panerai Luminor (PAM00048). In this video I return to a brand I never thought I'd enjoy so much, with an undervalued, modestly-sized, 40mm offering that's an absolute strap monster and can be found at an affordable price compared to retail offerings listed at more than twice as much. Once upon a time, I would have never imagined that one of the best value propositions in the watch industry would be a Panerai, but everything they got wrong with the more recent Luminor Due (which I previously reviewed) is not an issue with this far tougher, more capable, tooltastic, and largely forgotten older version. Join me for an unboxing, initial reaction and mini review of the Panerai Luminor, including its positives and negatives, and an in-depth look at its history and evolution. Despite the many controversies associated with the brand over the decades, it's never been a better time to buy a Panerai watch. What do you think of this watch and the Panerai brand?

Went to a Panerai boutique a few years ago. I had just gotten into watches and was browsing as many local shops as I could, although the vast majority of the salesmen didn’t pay me any attention, a salesman at the Panerai store stopped me and my friend and asked us if we knew the story of Panerai. He proceeded to explain the nautical history and relationship with the fascist submarine crews that TGV described. Although I knew I didn’t have the wrist for it, I knew I would one day own a Panerai. Still working towards that goal, but just goes to show you how important those small acknowledgments are.

So glad to see you back. I can’t watch the video yet! I promised my son I wouldn’t watch it without him so I have to wait until Sunday morning when I get back from my trip, but it will be first thing on our list. So glad to see you doing well!

@@wkskdnam Stories are the difference in connecting and not, to the product or even to a person. A good story is important because otherwise it is not logical to purchase a watch over $15 for a cheap quartz watch that is more accurate than any mechanical watch. A logical choice to go from point A to B and back a million times is a Toyota corolla or Prius, but I would rather have a Ferrari 250GTO with the barking V12. But if you want to go for the Prius, more power to you.

Wearing a Panerai is a paradox. While its immense size is eye catching, the absolute simplicity of the watch does not scream opulence or flamboyance but rather a sense of history, a metaphor to its birthplace Firenze. I absolutely love it.

Panerai is one of the few brands I absolutely love, but can’t seem to connect with in-person. I have a similar relationship to Cartier: a deep admiration and appreciation, but also a bittersweet acceptance that I’m not the right person to pull off those watches. That’s one of my greatest lessons in this hobby. You don’t have to own everything you love, and you can enjoy watches without wearing them. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be.

Love a Panerai! I have owned several over the years. I recommend the titanium cases as they’re significantly lighter and a bit less blingy than the full polished stainless cases. The customer experience is also great, the staff in the Bond St boutique are always welcoming, a total contrast to most Rolex dealers. There will always be space in my collection for a Luminor.

TGV I am pleased to see Panerai featured in your channel. I own the exact same PAM0048 and have owned it for over 12 years, having bought it at the New York boutique. I cannot part with my Panerai its an icon and even if it may be “big” its a stament piece and a very rugged and at the same time handsome watch. All you need is to change straps to rubber, leather, alligator. And you completely change the vibe of the watch.I highly recommend it, but if I were to buy another one, it would be the the 8 day manual wind in Titanium with the sandwich dial it is INCREDIBLE.

I have the very same watch since 2012 (purchased new). Every time I think about trading in for something else, something stops me from doing it. I guess it's the iconic design and emotional attachment that no other watch has given to me. It is a conversation piece like no other watch. While some think that 40mm is small for Panerai, it wears much bigger than the size suggests. As for the reliability, it is super accurate and nothing ever went wrong during my 10 plus years of ownership.

I currently have a Luminor Marina 1312 with the sandwich dial. GORGEOUS. In-house updated movement - so beautiful! A few years ago, I also had a 40mm luminor marina with the old movement - I could feel it wobble on my wrist - but I liked it - it was like the watch wanting to state its presence to me.

Always loved Panerai. So far, I have had the pleasure of owning three of them. I recently gifted my wife with my 44mm PAM 1312 on a shinny orange rubber strap - wow! She has a small wrist but, for some reason, it looks fantastic on her! Watches have never been an investment for me. I always loved them since I was 5 and asked my dad to buy me a Casio for birthday. I come from a humble upbringing so even a simple Casio meant some level of effort for the family. Now, I’m a bit better off, but still only able to buy one luxury piece of moderate price every 5 to 8 years. It is for the pleasure of it. It is for watching TGV videos wearing a nice piece on my wrist. It is for the love of craftsmanship, attention to detail and the constant human pursuit of perfection. Not for boasting, not for making money. Keep up the fantastic work TGV!

Last October, my wife and I spent a week in Paris prior to a river cruise. She wanted to do some shopping so we went to Galleries Lafayette. I got to spend the entire 6 hours in the watch shops on the first floor. And after looking at most all of the major brands and their current offerings, I bought a new Panerai 1335 , a blue “Origin” Radiomir. And I have enjoyed it. I also have been frequently in Firenze and usually rent a room on Via Guicciarideni. So to finally find my Panerai was a big thrill. Mine is a recently released 45mm that rides well on my 8 inch wrist. It is unique and seldom seen in my part of the states. So- I’m glad you are a Firenzephile, and you have your Panerai. Many thanks.

Very nice, congrats. I am the very happy owner of a Radiomir 574, which is a lovely, dressy, sports watch - I originally bought it when I couldn't get an Explorer, but I have no regrets whatsoever. It is a 42mm, but with the very short lugs, wears more like a 40.

Brilliant vid pieces + your explanation of the history. This just comes when I am thinking to sell my Pam161 Luminor GMT for reason of too less wristtime. Have to rethink again… Anyway Get going 🚀

I love my Panerais. I have that same watch you showcased in your video, and also a GMT. They are great! I wear them mostly on weekends and when I’m training my dogs in the water. Never an issue with either of them. Some of their newer models are beautiful and maybe a bit more wearable than the two I have. There is certainly a mystique around Panerai.

Buon anni, TGV! Great video and run down of the Panerai story. Very nice piece, although I also prefer the sandwich dial. I wasn’t sure how these would sit on my wrist, but we both have similarly sized wrists, so I’m sure it would be ok. I quite like the crown protection on these and the not dissimilar Graham chrono fighters. Welcome back!

Excellent video. I had never considered a Panerai until now. There’s certainly a purity of purpose about them.

I bought a Panerai 104 just over 5 years ago. It was a brand I've always wanted to own. My grandfather was a Carabinieri in and around Naples before he immigrated to Canada. I know they were never issued to Carabinieri, but being so close to the Amalfi Coast, I would have hoped he came in contact with some of the Marina Militare wearing their Radiomirs. Congrats on the purchase. It looks great on you!
