Talking Watches: With John Mayer
Well, you asked for it. You got it. Today we are proud to launch an entirely new HODINKEE original video series. We're loosely calling it "Talking Watches," and these videos are just that: us, talking watches with our friends, new and old. Basically, we will use these monthly – yes, you'll get a new episode each month from here until eternity – videos to give you insight into the minds of watch collectors you might not come across in your daily life.

My first 47mm Panerai
Well after owning numerous 44mm Panerai over the years, I finally bought myself a 47mm Panerai. I had been undecided between a 422/423 or the 372. I decided to go with a 372 as it has a clean uncluttered look. I was skeptical due to the plexi, but am happy I went this route. It has this tinted look which adds that warmth that everyone describes. I already started the strap madness as expected. Here are a few pics

My eyes!!! Gah!!!
I love Rolexes. I love guns, but man this doesn't pair right. Engraving a DJII? For what? Poor thing, not worth a damn now, I mean I get it: personalization. Go engrave a 1911, that's cool, but come on Beretta!!! And some people actually want to order this!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
