Iโ€™ve Owned a Panerai for Years. This New Luminor Has Me Questioning Mine

Iโ€™ve owned my Panerai Luminor Base Logo PAM00777 for years. I bought it in Florence with my wife during our anniversary, at Paneraiโ€™s flagship boutique. Thereโ€™s enough personal history wrapped up in that watch that I donโ€™t think I could ever sell it. But, Panerai just released a watch that makes me wish I could separate the watch from those memories for a minute.

The New Rolex The Internet Hates, But I Seriously Love

Rolex surprised us with the Perpetual Padellone, a new annual calendar and moonphase watch in the Perpetual 1908 family. And judging by some of the early reactions Iโ€™ve seen online, Rolex has already managed to piss a few people off. I think it looks fantastic.

I Bought A $23 Amazon Essentials Watch to Review. How Bad Can It Be?

There are some wild watches on Amazon. If youโ€™ve listened to the TBWS podcast for any length of time, youโ€™ve probably heard us disappear into more than a few of those rabbit holes. I actually think that kind of variety is a good thing. Thereโ€™s an absurd amount to explore, whether youโ€™ve been collecting for years or youโ€™re just starting to figure out what you like. The problem is that all that choice gets overwhelming fast. Iโ€™ve bought some horribly strange watches for these little experiments, and Iโ€™ve been pretty hard on a few of them afterward. Still, this is core TBWS and I love going through this stuff.

Tissot Made An Affordable PRX Chronograph I Didnโ€™t Expect to Prefer

The automatic PRX Chronograph has always been an interesting proposition, although its 42mm case, 14.54mm thickness, and $2,150 price put some distance between it and the accessible appeal of the original PRX. Tissotโ€™s new PRX Chronograph Quartz brings that idea back down to $525, trims the case to 41mm by 11.65mm, and adds a few functions that benefit from going quartz. I think this might be the PRX chronograph that makes more sense for the collection.
