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? Please share in the comments!

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.

@@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.

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. Cheers!

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.

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 just can’t fathom this obsession with the water resistance, I am a former combat diver and can’t ever recall going to 300m. 100m is more than enough, stand next to a 100m building and look up, deep enough. And as we only dive with computers now, it’s an obsolete technology. Enjoy the watch 👍

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!

Yes, it doesn't have the water proofing and I get that many Paneristi hate that, but, it fits under a shirt sleeve and looks beautiful in a suit or tux. And that's why I bought it, for formal wear. Although with the right strap, it looks quite sporting as well. I think this opens up a new world of customers for the brand that might never have looked at them. We'll see how it all pans out.

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.

Rationalised my collection after I tried on the ceramic bezel 683 late last year and mine arrived on new years eve. Hasn't been off my wrist since. Elegant but with amazing presence. I can no longer dive sadly due to illness but the connection to one of my favourite past times makes this perfect!

The rubber strap was on it along with 2 additional leather strap a brown and a neon green. I never thought i would ever put the green strap on. Boy was i wrong. It goes with the colored indices and that pop of color makes "it". Congrats and wear it in good health.

I’ve been a watch fanatic for as long as I can remember, bought and sold most of the brands you would and expect, Rolex, Omega, Tag, Brightling, etc you get the picture. But one watch I have that I will never sell. In 2009 I purchased a Panerai Luminor Marina (PAM00164 ) with brown Alligator strap. I love the watch so much and even today all these years later I still wear it. For a good 10 years I wore it as an everyday watch, today it could do with a new strap but apart from that it looks great.

Very nice, welcome to the club, coming from a 171 and 190 owner. I do really miss the old models that I sort of grew up with in my 30's. Some of the other models that got away from me are 98, 184, and 187.

Fell in love with Panerai when i first saw one, then purchased a few as the years and decades have past and fast forward have owned other brands and still in love with the Panerai brand. There's something about it that really catches ur eye every time, even if i line up with my others like AP or Patek. btw customer service is topnotch!

Agree with the comment about the sandwich dial. I have a 2007 Luminor base model and the sandwich dial is striking. Good luck with yours and Happy New Year!

Ahh yes, I’d been waiting for the Urban Gentry to put out another great video. This time on a an unexpected but well received brand like Panerai! Makes me want one simply because they haven’t changed their look much like Cartier. I was surprised I didn’t see you in Teddy’s most warn wrist watches for KZfaqrs. I know he had to of asked you!

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.

I own a Panerai Luminor Submersible BMG Tech and I absolutely love it. One of the bigger watches that I own and now one of my favorites. I just came back from Walt Disney World in Orlando and I had that watch and a Omega planet Ocean and I 1981 Seiko Tuna 300 m diver and I wore the Panerai almost all week. I think made an awesome choice to add to your collection

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!

Great video TGV ! I had a Lumior Marina exactly like yours. I bought it in Firenze. The box was exactly the same, in that year (around 2005) The watch came with two bands, one brown crocodile leather and the other was a yellow - black velcro NATO, really cool. For sure you had an excellent piece. Saludos from Mexico.

Congrats on scoring a Panerai to your collection. For me, I would love a Submersible. They fairly recently took the size down a bit to 42mm.. might be doable for my 7" wrist. I would certainly welcome another step smaller at 40mm. Being a stickler for setting and maintaining my watches for accuracy, oddly, the lack of minute markings on the dials doesn't bother me with Panerai as it does with just about any other watch.

Nice Video and excellent Italian accent! Panerai started being very popular in the early 90’s here in Florence with the black anodized luminor! Some of my friends in Florence were wearing this in ‘91! I was living in California and going to college there and back in the states at the time nobody knew what A Panerai was! They were selling out of the Orologeria Svizzera!

That 2 minute intro did more for Panerai marketing than their team in the last 5 years. Suuper high production on that video. After spending a long time trying different Panerai's I came to the conclusion that for me the traditional Radiomir models with wire lugs in size 42 are the absolute cream of the crop. Much thinner than the 40mm models and super elegant. Favourite reference is the PAM 337. If you dislike the wire lugs than PAM512 is good too. I agree on the smaller submersible. Let's just hope they can keep it thin.

The watch is certainly unique. Also it goes so well with you with your interest in military history, movies and your connection to Firenze, where I used to live in the 1990ties. I understand your excitement, mate!

Bought the PAM647 Luminor Due! Maligned for its weak water resistance, however, it has exactly all the Panerai DNA I wanted on a thinner case, sandwich dial, all the cardinal numbers with that gorgeous micro rotor movement. Oh well, I guess it will never see water, but the point is to get into the custom straps. Waited for a used one and paid under 6K for a minty specimen. No regrets! Good time to buy preowned. Glad to see TGV's appreciation and comfort in the classic PAM048.

Happy New Year TGV. Happy to see you back. Thank you for all the hard work you put for our enjoyment. Can you please review a Citizen Homer RailRoad? Or Rail Road watches, the history is fascinating. Also, if I'm not asking too much, I would love to watch an episode about the clock in Central Station in New York an other clocks around New York city if possible.

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!
