               Panerai Super-Coolness

             Jon Hamm

                   40mm PAM 00119

John Hamm is one of the coolest guys in the world. He is renowned for playing Donald Drapper on the mega-hit TV show, Mad Men which is returning for its sixth season next month on April, 7th!!!

Ironically, Jon Hamm played my namesake grandfather, Jake Ehrlich Sr. in the recent movie named "Howl". In 2008 People Magazine voted Jon Hamm to be on their list for the sexiest man alive, so it is really cool to see him rockin' his Panerai in these photos.

Sylvester Stallone with his Panerai Luminor Marina

                        Rockin' Pre-Vendome Panerai Luminor Marina

                     44mm Reference 5218-203/A PVD Coated Titanium

Sylvester Stallone is more responsible for the success of modern Panerai than anybody else on earth. It all began in 1995, when he was filming a movie named Daylight in Italy, and he happened to wander into the Panerai boutique in Florence, Italy, and fell in love with modern Panerai. It is arguable that Sylvester Stallone is the living embodiment of Panerai. He is strong, confident, handsome, clean-cut, masculine, macho, sophisticated, Italian, precise, outstanding, timeless and has always been cool. In other words, if Panerai was a man, it would by Sly, and visa versa.

In the future, I plan to write a much more detailed article on Sly and his impact on the ultra-succesful rebirth of Panerai. In this first photo we see Sly with Angie Everhart in the mid 1990s, probably around 1996, which was close to 20 years ago!!! It is interesting to note that when Sylvester Stallone first began wearing Panerai, he always wore them on his right wrist, but after a few years he switched to his left wrist, where they have remained.

In this next image below, we see Sylvester Stallone around 1996 with his current wife, Jennifer Flavin who he met in 1988. Jennifer Flavin is wearing a Yellow-Gold Rolex Lady Date.

The photo below shows the same Pre-Vendome Luminor Panerai Marina Reference 5128-203 A, which was the very first Panerai to be offered with a PVD coating, which also had a titanium case.

                      59MM Tourbillon GMT Ceramica

                       Unique Edition of 50 Units

As you can see in the photo below, the skeleton hand-wound mechanical movement is intensely complicated and sophisticated. It features a Panerai 2005/S Calibre movement, which is entirely executed in-house by Panerai. The 31 Jewel movement features a Glucydur balance with beats at 28,800 beats per hour.

Luminor Panerai PAM 372 47MM 3 Day Movement

             Luminor Panerai PAM 372

                  Discovering A Timeless Classic That Brings Us Back To The Future 

                         47MM 3 Day Movement: Reference PAM00372

The PAM372 Beautifully Showcases the Core-Essence of Panerai DNA

The Panerai PAM 372 is an amazingly cool and desirable watch for many reasons. First and foremost, because it arguably captures the core-essence DNA of the vintage Panerai Reference 6152 from 1954. Many of the details on this watch are very, very similar to the original 6152, which is arguably the quintessential trademark Panerai. The 372 has a sandwich dial with tan lume, which give the watch a very vintage/antique 1940s look–which is incredible!

Before we look more closely at the Panerai 372, let's see what it looks like on a real person. The Panerai 372, just like the Panerai 6152 from the 1950s is 47MM in diameter (excluding the crown guard). 

Let's get one thing out of the way. 47MM is an acquired taste. Most people don't go straight to 47MM. They typically begin with a 44MM Panerai, and work their way up to 47MM. Think of 44MM as a gateway to 47MM. 

The Panerai Reference 372 is considered a "Base" Panerai, meaning it only has a second and minute hand, which gives is a stunningly simple, streamlined, balanced, highly symmetrical look. 

Despite its outstanding looks, the Panerai 372 has zero bling. It is almost reverse bling, which makes it extremely tasteful, clean and sophisticated–in an distinguishing, old-world, kind of way.

The Panerai 372 is a very masculine, macho watch that exudes confidence. Its DNA is that of a real Tool Watch and it has a big, bold look, which remains low-key, reserved, unassuming, unexpected, charismatic and quietly confident.

All you need to know about buying a classic watch

When buying a watch, the best advice is to stick with – or at least start with – the classics. They're classics for a reason. If a design looked good 30, 40, 50 or more years ago and still looks good today, the chances are it'll still look pretty sharp 20 years from now. And watches are the one fashion purchase that you'll be wearing for years, not months.

Look good afloat with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

Picking the right one for you shouldn't be hard – many of them are classics because they effectively define a type. A watch can tell you more about a man  than anything else – or at least about who he wants to be. You might be as likely to fly an aircraft as you are to travel to the stars, but wearing a Breitling Navitimer still says you're sporty, outdoorsy and quite possibly a daredevil. In the Seventies, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak's chunky form redefined the macho watch – up until then, slim and gold had been de rigueur.

It's still a staple on the wrists of men who aren't ashamed to tell the world they're worth a bob or two – and to announce to everyone, loudly, exactly which gender they are.

Even if you don't speak the language of watches and are utterly bored by, say, the development of the second hand in Seventies Rolex Explorers, these classics speak volumes.

Be an international man of mystery with the Girard Perregaux 1966

They're watches you can wear with confidence in front of the most rarefied gatherings of watch snobs. Obviously, if you want said snobs to coo and purr over your purchase, then you need to go vintage – but even the newer models pictured here have plenty of credibility.

That doesn't mean you can skip the most crucial step of watch-buying – the shop visit. The web is fine for research, but don't for God's sake buy there. A proper retailer will make you feel like a god. Going into a grand old shop such as Cartier on Bond Street in London, or on the Rue de la Paix in Paris, is one of life's more pleasurable experiences.

Prepare to pay more for the best, especially when buying vintage. Details such as whether a watch has its original tags and service receipts may seem unimportant, but if you come to resell, this is the kind of thing that'll ensure you get your money back. If you are into this sort of detail, limited editions of the classics are best sourced at a specialist retailer.

It's also a good idea to check just how limited 'limited' is – for a steel watch a couple of thousand worldwide is enough, while for gold think in hundreds. But be prepared for your chequebook to take a pasting. Many of the classics start at reasonable prices – but the upper limits of the market are terrifying...

1940S STEEL & GOLD ROLEX "BUBBLE BACK" WITH HOODED LUGS

Boasting the first automatic movement in a Rolex "Oyster" case, the bubble back has always been a favorite among vintage Rolex enthusiasts. The modest size, however, makes it a challenge for those gents who have grown accustomed to the most assertive sizes of contemporary wristwatches.

This bubble back, with its "hooded" lugs, looks larger than its standard counterparts and has a very substantial presence. It boasts an attractive original dial that has achieved a beautiful patina. Furthering the allure is the addition of the original Rolex factory vintage "grains of rice" bracelet.

This is an incredibly rare bracelet that truly compliments the watch and allows it to wear like a piece of jewelry. The watch has a case diameter of 32mm and measures 40mm from "hood to hood".
