Point is he shouldnt have anything to prove. I thought people came here for clothing advice and not to measure our dicks (but I may be in the minority)

While I agree that we are all here to share fashion advice, what's the point of posting pics of things that don't belong to you and pretend they do?

my unsolicited two cents: I think your current piece has more character than a panerai 210 (tho the PAM is probably more versatile)

Man, you must really be jaded of Panerai's design to say something like this. The Radiomir case and design is far more unique than the modified diver design of the AT re-edition. Or is it the yellow that you think adds character to the watch?

Can't say for sure, though I think its probably the yellow. Now that you mention it, "a dive watch is a dive watch is a dive watch" is certainly a valid point.

And yes, still dont get panerai

If I had ~4k to get a watch? Hmm...

new?
you can get a... planet ocean for 4gs for a diver
maybe a IWC portofino auto for a dress watch
