    Why not ? A Submariner can absolutely handle daily wear its not fragile. I have worn my 2 tone Submariner for 17 years now, every day and its never missed a minute. When I took it for cleaning 7 years ago, the jeweler gave me all kinds of crap, scratched, beat up, weld splatter, grind marks when I slipped one time, I never take it off. Its not a fragile watch so why not wear it daily ?

    I wore my stainless one daily for 15 years before I got the 2 tone and same thing, its not fragile, it can handle motorcycle crashes and all the other bad things that happen to people in their late teens and early 20s. I did break the stainless bracelet once, not cheap to repair but the watch never stopped working. I fail to understand why have not one but 2 of these and not wear them daily (well one at a time of course).

    Steve, that is a crazy looking watch bro. Very, very cool! Reminds me a of a funky watch I had in the 80's that ran on water. I really wish I still had it. Very hard to explain. It was the size of a "calculator watch" but instead of all the calculator buttons it had this area/box that soaked up water. I swear it was real!

    Cheers,

    Vasco

    I know what you mean. I really wanted a Submariner 50th Anniversary Edition (green bezel) but started thinking of things like "opportunity cost" and suddenly the appeal was lost...

    And I know what *you* mean :D! Can't believe that Rolex marketing is so good that people get interested in a watch because it has a f***'ing *GREEN* bezel for the first time ever, with almost nothing else changed (except some very slight dial changes)! And I looked and thought about it *really* hard myself - but thankfully said "no" finally.

    Yeah... add alittle green dye to the 5 cent plastic bezel (which they charge 80$ for from rolex usa), and all of a sudden the watch can retail for 2000$ more.

    I spoke with Panerai today and they told me the Ferrari Panerai will now be out in September. Supposedly a picture will be going to the dealers in April/May.

    This is a GREAT reason for Panerai to come up with something new and a little Different :)
    I hope they don't just throw the Ferrari Logo on the dial and caseback and call it a day...

    I think you really get a good watch for the money. These are some of the MANY watches I own for the exception of the Breitling (note: these are not my pictures, I'm not talented enough to take them). After the holidays and now a family vacation coming soon, I will have to wait until I can purchase the discontinued 659 crosswind (I'm a sucker for blue dials) :D
