Getat Watch
As promised, pictures and mini-review of the Getat Panerai homage. This was my prize for wining the Chinese GP, it took a while to arrive from Hong Kong but I can’t fault the service or the watch. I was a little unsure of the styling and the size on the wrist, hence buying the homage before the real thing.
I have to say I really like it, so much that I now want a proper Panerai. It’s a solid watch and very well made. It has an asian manual wind movement that so far is keeping excellent time. We went for the 44mm titanium case and sandwich dial with green numerals. It wears bigger than 44mm due to the crown guard but not uncomfortably so.
Formula 1 Competition Update
So, SWMBO won the Bahrain GP and chose the monster easter egg (see below). We drew at the Australian GP and all of a sudden the rules changed and neither of us could choose a prize!
I won the Malaysian GP and so my turn for a prize. We collect watches, one of the watches on the grail list is a Panerai but they are large watches with a love it/hate it styling. At the RRP it will be an expensive mistake to make so I’ve been on the hunt for an ‘homage’. Long story short, my prize for the Malaysian GP is a Panerai homage from Getat Watches. It’s due in a couple of weeks so I’ll post up a mini review.
