Your watch content is infinitely more interesting than your contemporaries on KZfaq, especially combined with the majestic Venetian backdrop. Bravo Maestro 👏

I love the simplicity of that Panerai, not boring, but well executed design that works. Elegant, proves that less is more, like a well-tailored suit.

You made that beautiful piece of horological history shine! The close-ups are just as good as it gets and they go hand in hand with your voice overs. For those who are on the fence about buying a Panerai: I challenge you not to buy one after watching this video! Instant upvote!

That Nove Marine is now on my radar- thanks for highlighting the brand as I was unaware of them.

I couldn't agree with you more. My everyday watch has turned out to be a PAM560. It hasn't come off my wrist for the past 3 years, been everywhere with me and suits my casual style. I don't know what it is about Panerai but I just love them. The beauty is in their simplicity.

great video! thanks for bringing NOVE to our attention, as a diver loving the aesthetic and the inner rotating bezel!

Love this video. Great point about others opinions of what you wear. I have a similar watch, the 372, and Panerai is the one that got me in to watches in the first place. I love the simple aesthetic. Enjoy it!

The Panerai really looks fantastic on you! I also have a Panerai 380 Radiomir that I absolutely love and recently had the pleasure of wearing it in Rome and visiting the Panerai store while there I picked up a new strap as a way to remind me of my trip

Just bought the Nove Modena500. Amazing piece of engineering and quality. These guys know exactly what they’re doing. 👏🏻

This applies to life as well. What a great take. Thanks for another amazing video.

This is so true, I have a smaller wrist (17cm) and I wanted the Petit Prince IWC but my wife loved how the smaller IWC Spitfire looked on me, I trusted her opinion and have never looked back, I happen to be wearing that Spitfire today so I really resonated with your opinion.

Totally agree with you, the collecting stuff is ultimately nothing else but a journey to the right watch. Some find it sooner, some later, some never. Excellent content, as always. And by the way, as I commented on your white Speedy video, and you asked to let you know when I finally get it, still waiting. Cheers Udo

Great video, Oisín! I just got back from my first trip to Ireland and only took my 44mm Luminor for the entire time - seeing it in photos certainly provided the perspective you're talking about! I also got to see several spots mentioned in your Dublin video!

Love panerai watches. I bought a limited edition panerai Luminor submersible 1950 3 day automatic 47mm Titanium. Must of been around 2015/16. At the time I only had this and an omega. Left the watch in the hotel room. Come back no watch. Stolen by some cleaner/ member of staff who knows. Could not afford to replace it at the time. Maybe I should get another one. Anyway I don’t leave my watches in hotel rooms any more. An expensive lesson to learn .

I must say that specific PAM definitely looks the best. So cool and handsome on you.

Agree it's a journey! I would also submit that in addition to 'You're not wearing the right watch" - "Who are you wearing the watch for? Great advice to have someone come with you who knows you well and can offer another perspective. This happened to me recently when I picked up the PAM 716 Mare Nostrum a model from Panerai I never thought I would own or would look good on me; but it does. Fascinating. and all part of the journey. The Nove Marine is a cool piece!

This Panerai summary and the watch journey resonates with me a lot. I too am a bigger, solid guy. I used to consider watches the community would put forward. Most of the time because it looked good on them and suited their smaller frames. Gradually realised you have to buy for yourself and what suits you. A 40mm Rolex is well and good but pointless if it doesn’t wear well on you. Bought the Panerai 210. Never looked back. Perfection for my wrist. And personality.

I just spent 2 Weeks on the Amalfi Coast and I took my Panerai Luminor Marina and got many approving nods from the locals! Classic and recognizable for sure

I’ve been lusting after the PAM 210 since your Panari video. Bonus track with the Nove micro. Thank you.

I just got back from Venice, my first visit, absolutely stunning. I thought of yourself whilst walking around as I was recognising some of the locations in your videos. Great stuff, love the relaxed delivery.

You originally inspired me to buy your old favourite omega 2255.80 which I love. I actually then bought the original rubber OEM rubber strap and and clasp which has the same adjust on the wrist mechanism as the Nove watch. Amazing I then saw a paneria 2231 that I just knew was me all over so had to have it. I love the stealth of it and wear at my work in the water industry during the day before donning the omega at night👍

Such insanely great points. I have a flat, 7” wrist and I’m hyper aware of what works and what doesn’t. So often I see a watch I love, but has no business being on my wrist. I see many people online that are completely wrist blind and wearing watches (typically) far too large for them. Style is subjective, but maths is maths 😂 - anyway, great content. New sub 😎👍🏼 oh, and gorgeous PAM. Looks fab on you.

Always awesome Oisin!!

Great video, smart and original insights and synopsis. Like the look of Nove Marine, worth the shoutout. Have owned a Panerai. There’s something about them. Definitely suits you. Agree with the theme, often others know what suits you best, often what you’re looking for is not what you need, and what you love and resonates with you the most can save you £000s ! Great job

Another awesome video. You make the most Interesting content about watches, in my opinion. I salute you sir :)

It’s my favourite watch that had me scouring the internet to identify it. It’s a beauty for sure 👍

This video is great. Loving your channel.

Great video and commentary. That PAM does look great on you . The other watch I always felt looked just right on you was the Tudor BB GMT Diet Pepsi.

Hello from Los Angeles. The Nove watches are intriguing. I can see many design cues from other brands assembled into these . P.S. I enjoyed seeing you together with Sean on Instagram. Cheers ✌🏻

The first thing I noticed when I opened this video: damn that Panerai looks good on him

Looks fantastic, you got there in the end😉

Looks good on you. I've been scared off from Panerai because of their movement fiasco. But I do love their case design.

Agree with everything here. I like watches that are as big as I can where, ideally 43 mm. I have some smaller watches that are OK but I prefer bigger watches. Also agree that gold doesn't suite fair skin but looks great on slightly darker skin. In the jewellery world people talk about being either a silver or gold person and this comes down skin colour or complexion.

Thanks man enjoyed this

Very cool piece!

Thanks for another interesting video.

Great piece and video.

Happy journeying Oisin ✊

That PAN was really made for you man!!!

Hey man! Love the content and point on this video you've made! Love the watch, care to share that nice strap brand/maker? I did not catch this in the video!

I have a 44mm Panerai 321 and a tiny wrist, but I love the watch. It is by far my largest watch.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK OISIN, LOVE IT DOWN UNDER MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA

First time long time the watch that makes you happiest truly is the one! I have had many but I’m an Omega man no not the movie a planet ocean. Gotta love yours.

I mostly wear either my Tag Heuer F1 Calibre 5 or F1 Quartz Red Chrono. Both 43mm watches, and they fit my 7.2" wrist perfectly. A lot of popular watches 40mm and under look too small on my wrist.

Watch content! And your special way with discussing this stuff. I've been wearing good mechanical watches for decades - (first interested in my fahter's Hamilton "Wilshire" by the late '50s (I have that 1940 one now) But you're already better at talking about them than I.

That Panerai is right up your alley Oisin… That watch is you and suits you perfectly…! That’s your daily driver…..! Love that watch…❤️💯👍

Personally have to say your Royal Oak Offshore is absolutely fantastic on you Big Guy ! !

Really dig Nove overall as a brand. The visible bezel ratchets on the Trident is badass!

Nice video mate

Thanks Oisin Sir!

I thought that would have been 44mm before you said 47! You really can pull that off no problem. The thickness of the crystal on that model is wild and looks amazing.

great points! it really is a journey of experimentation!

I’d come to the same conclusion as you after collecting watches for about a decade and owning watches from almost every brand, and I have about 70 watches right now in my collection, I appreciate the beauty and simplicity of my Panerai 587. I have mine on a super thick Dirk strap.

This is a great video! And a very good point about gold! White gold though on Anglo complexion could work too then?

Your “The Beast” video of the Schneider-era Breitling Chronomat was a good look on your “Irish Wrist” as well.

Really cool watch

Superb Panerai! I've noticed several hard core watch enthusiasts now wearing Panerai as their daily.

Agree.. it suits you

Pretty cool, these NOVE watches. 🕐⚙️🍸

quite like the Nove Atlanean the inner rotating bezel is cool. I quite like the Panerai also as it has a normal crown and lugs I do like it and the size.

The bluesy and this one are looking best on you imo :)

Nice watches Oisin..

The Panerai is definitely the watch that suits you best! You probably already knew that secretly when you recorded the best Panerai commercials I know (e.g. "The power of the dark side") . I would love to wear a Panerai myself but it just doesn't work...

Hi Oisín, I always liked your videos and today I even have a reason to post a comment for you... =) If you like the 47mm size I would strongly recommend you to check out the Sinn U212, it is really a great watch and in my opinion highly underrated ... I got the black version the U212 SE and I with the brown leather strap it is just stunning... I just love it. best regards and keep it up! J.

That's right Oisin

100% I always say it. the watches I like and the watches that suit me are totally different thing.

Great video. Where did the after market strap on the Panerai come from?

Perfect! Like the man😘

see?..this is where the o malley taste in watches is right up my street...big boy watches all round!..mate both those Nove pieces look very much like their own thing..and classy with it!

I'm not a fan of their crown guards. This is a watch I could get behind. Good looking piece.

Collecting in general is a journey, look at record collecting, studio equipment or hi-fi aficionado the collection or set-up constantly evolves as does the satisfaction as your knowledge and experience grows. You're right about gold, I am very very fair and despite the red hair, gold or rose gold doesn't work well. Titanium and stainless steel do though

The one that’s got me every day wearing now is the VC overseas chrono reverse panda silver dials ,crazy piece unbelievable movement, weight is almost like it’s gold. Have to put it on to get it. Just don’t pay retail lol

I always have the wife with me when watch hunting. She will give me the nod if it suits, and I value her feedback when something doesn’t look right.

I don’t have panerai in my collection. Maybe I should buy one.

Great to see you talking watches once again...

that's a very nice watch.

I'm definitely in the 'wish I knew then what I know now' camp lol. Coulda bought more than 1 grail for what I've wasted.

47mm definitely is right for you. Great brand Panerai, so tired of the smaller watch movement. 42-47 mm all day everyday

Enjoyable video

Panerai another brand that is criminally underrated particularly on pre owned market. Iconic historic designs too with history and livery

Old Panerai is great, don’t like the newer Due models, poor water resistance 😢. Love my PAM312, definitely a strap monster.

Recall an interview on the Late Show circa 1986 with Martin Ruane aka The Giant Haystacks at 6'11 and >50st. On his wrist a dainty dress watch. Too much is made of wrist size vs case conditional on not being oversized. Its all in the head.

Ditto on the rehauts they are an eyesore and they are an intrusion of space- like carrots popping up in dishes they dont belong in such as lasagna , The story I heard was they disbanded the frogmen after the glass bottom boats arrived , making it much easier to observe Italy's navy...

I think the PAM233 is more beautiful if I were to buy a Panerai. But you need to have huge wrists to pull it off.

I am wearing the right watch for me, a Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical.

Wish I could wear those big watches. Tudor Pelagos is my limit for size.

You could talk about a Corneto and make it sound better than Gelato lol

Buy whatever you like. Period. If you think, it looks good on you, thats all that matters.

Upvote👍🎉

Actually one of the watches that suits you best. And in this way you pay tribute to your love for Italy.

1:20 I can't shake off the feeling of watching a sponsored content... 5:45 and the ad is over! Would be good to disclose to the audience.

The Nove divers extension was seen on Citizens from the 90s, and you can get aftermarket clasps also with this design. It's junk. The problem is that fully extended, it's an ugly looking bar that sticks out in a weird way. Also, it takes the place or does double-duty for micro-adjustments, which means using it for micro-adjustments reduces its utility for divers extension. The better solution from higher-end watches are the systems similar to Glidelock or T-Fit, where the part that extends out from the clasp are just another link, so it doesn't look like a bar sticking out; also Glidelock/T-fit are just for micro-adjustment and divers extensions are an additional separate piece (so reduction in utility due to double-duty).

The Invicta (yea, I know) Hydromax has that same bracelet extension system.

It's odd that with two barrels and 21,600vph this Panerai has 72hrs of power reserve. I'd expect a twin barrel to have at least 8 days of power reserve. Still a great looking watch.

The panerai looks great What size is your wrist ?

6:20pm Venice

I always wanted a Rolex until I put one on. It was too small, and expensive.

I’d love to know Oisin’s actual wrist size. I’ve watched his videos for years and he will often talk about how large his wrists are but I have yet to ever see/hear him say the actual diameter in inches/cm what his wrist is. I always thought I had smaller wrists…but at 7.25” I have found that my wrists are on the larger end which surprised me. It would take some of the guessing out of it when seeing watches on Oisin’s wrist and wondering how they would look on our wrists?

27C / 80F Venice

Hi Oisin, what is your wrist circumference if I may ask.Thanks.
