A beuutiful watch it iis. The best Submariner ever created. One more thing: James Bond would never had a "Bluzi" on his wrist. A history of Jame Bond is pointing to this watch only - THE ROLEX SUBMARINER.

Interested to know if you still have the sea dweller and what you think of it now?

Do you know where I can buy the Deployment clasp?

It looks too big even on you.

“I had a quick gym session” 😂 cock

Christ what a tool. Why don’t you just create a channel where you just talk about yourself?

Panerai has far more personality than Rolex IMO. I find many Rolex offerings to be very effeminate … blingy jewelry pieces. Panerai, by contrast, is unequivocally a man’s watch.

This is my favorite Panerai too. A shame they have moved away from this look and feel.

Problem with two tones is it screams “I don’t have enough money for a full gold”

I bought a white dial SMP 300 awhile back - really liked it, but when I Green OP 41 from my AD came in the SMP got sold. I've regretted parting ways with it since - the design language is dated imo, but it's still a fun , no-worries watch with an amazing movement. Might pick up another one if the right situation comes up. .

Hi Michael, love the vids. Do you mind me asking what bracelets you use? Very clean!

A few weeks ago I went into Manhattan with my college buddies. While we were on 5th Avenue, 5 supermodels came up to us. They all told us that if we were wearing the Sea Dweller 43 126600, they would have instantly had sex with us. This is a true story.

Looks awesome - I have the same zealande orange strap for my Milgauss - very good quality!

Swarthy hunks like Michael can't stay away from Rolex for long. The SD4k and Submariners were made for this dude.

Mate. just slap that 12 series Submariner on your wrist. You know you want it.

Its funny, Ive owned many Rolexes, among other brands (Panerai, Breitling, Tag, IWC, Blancpain, etc, etc), and now that I have an Apple Watch I feel like its a hassle when I'm not wearing it... I have to look at my phone instead of my wrist to get messages, and other alerts

I JUST BOUGHT ONE TODAY. and you sold yours quickly. I can understand getting excited then eventually bored. But I never sell any of my watches. I'll let them sit and then I always later enjoy it again....

I can't wait to see what your next luxury watch purchase is.

I still think that Rolex is special even if it lower in the price comparing with many of the other luxurious brands, Rolex using 904L steel (and make their special precious metals in-house) while many of other luxurious brands more expensive than Rolex still using 316L, even they don't Menton anything about the type of the steel on their official websites.

It is also the rare stuff. Since I purchased it 1 1/2 years ago I have not seen it with anybody else I met

I absolutely feel the same about the Laureato. Just came across it couple weeks ago and the 42mm, blue dial is on the top of my list. I wonder why I never came across it. And I would have bought it years ago. When it comes to affordable haute horologie I would also recommend the 43mm steel Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. Wears smaller, beautiful dial, hour markers luminous surrounded by polished white gold, fly wheel of blackened gold (!) you can see through the sapphire case back, 5 days power reserve. Purchased it last year. Definitely, at the moment the one watch I would keep if I had only one to choose. Once I have purchased the Laureato I don’t know which one I would keep….

Rolex is played out / too common now. Panerai is amazing!

I had watch fatigue 2-3 years ago & sold my collection. I started wearing a samsung smart watch, but it didn't last long. I currently have a Starbucks & a Silver dial OP41. Keep it to 1 or 2 watches rather than having a big collection.

Very few pieces are as classic as 233. Congrats on the pick up, wear it in good health!

GREAT!!! FANTASTIC!!! PAM 233. Panerai threw a lot of what Panaristi want in a PAM. Low profile, 44mm size, dome sapphire, 8 day power reserve, sandwich dial, GMT, quick strap function. I’m looking for one at a good price full kit myself. Most Panerai can be found at a bargain. As much as I like new case materials modern PAM’s are overpriced. Never buy new, and wait for a good price. Congrats cheers 🍻

The journey continues! Much congratulations. Great pick up. Fits you well sir. 🍻

WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!

Long time subscriber first time asking a question: I'm planning to buy my first lux watch during my upcoming trip to Japan. I'm a big fan of Panerai, and my wife already owns one. However, I'm also considering a used Piaget Polo G0A47014. I would love to hear your thoughts and if you were in my shoes with a budget of GBP8k what would you go for? Thank you

Excellent pickup 👌. Panerai deserves more appreciation in the watch world. It’s unreal how rude and pretentious brands like Rolex and AP have gotten. Happy to see people taking their business elsewhere.

Michael, i forgot to ask. If you were going to buy 1 Rolex, then What do you think of the new grey & black GMT? It’s got some things I like as I mature in life. 40mm, more interesting than a 41m submariner. Looks good on jubilee or oyster and its dimensions are more old school. It’s boring to some BUT it’s different and suits my taste as well as being an original new colour scheme that you can call your own. It’s the perfect one and done from the Rolex collection..

BOYCOTT OVER PRICED ROLEX

Nice watch Mike. A 47mm Pam would suit you well too.

Panerai has been my favorites in my collection ever since I walked into the boutique in Portofino and could buy exactly what I wanted directly from them.

beautiful watch. do you need to have a big wrist to pull it off?

Love the 233. I've gone back and forth pam v hublot so many times - still no closer to a decision!

Michael, what a feeling. To actually let go of that artificial grip that Rolex had on us for over a decade. To wear a watch that you actually appreciate for what it is rather than the residual price or the hollow challenge that’s attached to buying a Rolex. No more bs to AD;s just to be considered for something that is vastly over priced AND over hyped!! I sold my Rolex’s too, the feeling of being a follower, the feeling of worrying when you you wear it in the UK, the feeling of knowing that Deep down inside you feel such a bitch (sorry for the language) for allowing yourself to be sucked in to something so false and something so meaningless is such as relief to let go of… if the truth be known, the Rolex spirit died the moment they went to ceramic bezels and super cases. BUT, you are free to buy what ever you want now AND! I have to admit, my Apple Watch is a different experience and a better experience than I expected. There’s a freedom that you cant explain when you sell your Rolex’s. Substance over ego, strength over insecurity, experience over naivety. Whatever it is, something inside knows it feels right 😊 keep buying the watches that move you…

You’re kinda making me want a Panerai. They’ve got a great history, the watches are so distinctive and unique, and no other brand produces watches like them.

Good to see you back with a watch, and the 233 is a nice piece. Been eying for years, nearly got one but then bought a Submserible instead which looks plain and is now for sale. You should try the Doxa 300t in BLACK - you'd love it, its 1200m water resistant and only 1800$. Are you back in the UK now?

congratulation amazing watch better than the other rolex cheers

🤣😂 next week; I bought 5 Rolex and got rid of my Apple watch! Welcome back to the obsession! 👏🏽

best Panerai made congrats.what is your opinion about gold version 289 ?

Michael, awesome choice. I’m going PAM01312 as I need a PAN in my collection. Tried one on the other week but I’m split between the PAN or the new white dial Speedmaster, both similar price but can’t afford both (yet). I will have both one day, but which first???????

❤️ but a real toolwatch is a Sinn bro

Maaan you made me so sad on the last video selling all your watches for an Apple watch I swear I almost unsubscribed lol , nice addition nonetheless.

I definitely feel you with being trapped with Rolex. When I drift and look at other watches I think about the money lost if I were to sell and makes me drift right back. Right now I'm trying to convince myself the Exp 1 would be a good brother to the BLNR but is it because I don't want to look at anything else but Rolex? It's a hard thing to get yourself away from.

Great to see you having an amazing piece on your wrist! Panerai 233 is like no other Panerai and I doubt there will be another Panerai like the 233 (this one has a soul IMO). It needs to be seen and worn to appreciate what is has to offer. It also is a lot more slimmer so doesn't have that huge look which all other Panerais have so fits a smaller wrist really well too (like mine). Enjoy it in good health. And if you find that mantle piece please do share so that I can pick one up for myself hahaha

Thats your watch Godfather moment right there ..... "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"

I love everything about this video.

Ffs that was quick lol😂😂🎯🎯🙈

Next, a Ploprof!
