Dimier is a sub-brand of Bovet, that is just as high-end, and also known as the watch movement maker of the group. Bovet didn't start Dimier, but rather acquired it.

if you were coming back to panerai what would you do?
Hi ristis!just throwing an idea out there to see where it may go. so i have a pam112 and MAYBE looking to get a 2nd pam.im leaning towards panerai than other brands because pam have different cases as say compared to rolex where sub looks the same as gmt.im thinking of getting a radiomir. i still like the manual wind because it can maintain the thinner case.i have narrowed down to pam 292 (ceramic), pam 337 (42mm)i have also tried on the 372 though it is beautiful, there is no way i can pull off 47mm such a shame.i could get another luminor but i would like a dress watch this time.am i missing something? how bout other brands? exp1?taking my sweet time now.
