Question of the decade? You could have any Panerai you want as long as .........

You sever ties with any or all the friends you ever made on Paneristi. I'm mean any Panerai. Would you?

I'm betting not. That means to me that our forum is more meaningful than the product. It's interesting that when the forum just started there must have been a cross over point where the public decided that the actual watch was secondary in this process. I wonder when that point of conversion happened to you. So, it's not the new watch around the corner that keeps us here. It's what we have and the friendships that arose from what we have. That new grail isn't so important really.
We already have it IMHO.

Post your crossover watch that made you realize this forum is special.

My original was a 9A. My new friends "encouraged" the 63C. I knew then it was over !
