Made In Detroit, A Visit To Shinola Watches
watches-dealer takes you inside the new factory of Detroit-based Shinola.

The brand is Shinola, and the buzz has been loud. Deservedly so.

Geneva road trip - live updates

any thoughts on the 512 , 513 or 337?

I liked the look of the watch but sold it b/c it was a bit too big and bulky for me. 42m is about my limit for my wardrobe and the way I dress.I need something on a strap and with rolex the options are pretty limited.Anyone have any thoughts on the Pam 512, 513 or 337? looking at the Panerai site those appear to be smaller and thinner. I like the look of all three of themAny thoughts would be greatly appreciated, I plan on going to the Panerai boutique and trying them on this week.
