Disappointing Panerai

[FullHouse]

If you are right about the prices, I rather stick to the proven models like 111, 112 or 114 since all these are using ETA movement. Spring bars? People will have a hard time changing the straps and scratches will be more prone.

In watch market, It's always so called "Demand & Supply" as most watch lovers' will tighened their budgets as the world economy is not doing well in next or following years.

Hence, most guys will always stick to their present timepieces rather than "flipping" watches unless they are dealers' who have deep pockets

So we are looking at anything around the SGD 7k region for the 630 and SGD 7.5k region for the 632. And btw, these are running on ETA Unitas movt and not the in-house.

Not sure about pricing (depending on currency exchange) prices are set at €4,600 for the Pam630 and €4,900 for the Pam632. In Hong Kong, prices are indicative at HKD39,000 though yet to be confirmed. These are this year Watches & Wonders 2015 Fair released which was held in Hong Kong usually during Sept/Oct month and they are only available through the Boutiques.

Not sure if that is "attractive" pricing.

It all boils down to price...if 630 was priced more attractively, may actually consider getting
In meanwhile, just waiting patiently for them to release a 372 in 42-44mm with 605 blue/grey/antracite sunburst dial...

Well...this is to cater to the "entry level" segment...though not very much at an attractive entry level price...So by doing spring bars and snap back, cost is minimised thus making it "affordable" so they claimed.

The very first version of this new generation of Panerai was the 634. Panerai uses the 634 as an indicator to see how the fans reactions to this new generation of Panerai since it has a more basic and minimal case design with couple of extreme changes, from screw lugs to spring bars, screw case back to snap on and from 300m to 100m.

Guess what...? Thanks to the 634 which seems to be well received among fans of the brand, expect this to be the next generation of Panerais. I doubt it will be just these two models.

Sad thing is...they are riding on the popularity of a certain community forum to released/introduced the new generation case (well, that is another different story).

Why... Why did you make not 1 but 2 models with snap in caseback and springbars????

What is wrong with you panerai???

For those who don't know, stay away from PAM 630 and PAM 632
