I sold my Panerai a few weeks ago...thought of getting anothr one...but the abve reasons u mentioned are the main reason I had not done so...seems stupid to spend close to 10k on a inferior quality watch...
hence in 2 minds, might get GMT Ii C or the new deep sea instead.

it is something im still trying to convince myself to get one.Originally posted by keltzar View Post
i dont say it is limited production totally. each series has a certain number of pieces, but the series continues. if supply is low, demand is high, then it will drive up price.
however with rolex, it was viewed as a prestige watch by asian previously. not sure if it is still the case now. another supply v demand driving up the price.
rolex to me is also overpriced.Leave a comment:

Don't understand Panerai...
I've been quite attracted to the Panerai designs these last few days ... but I don't understand the pricing.
Many of the pieces - limited production yes, but hardly vintage or rare - sell for $8-15k and upwards.
Technically,
1) many use base ebauche movements from unitas or valjoux ...
2) many movements have slower beat rates than rolex e.g. 21800 bpm ...
3) use 316L steel cases rather than 4x more expensive 904 grade steel...
4) mostly steel, with a sliver of white gold on the hands (some models) ...
5) use leather straps rather than metal bracelets, which at least to me, appear cheaper ...
... what makes it even as good a buy as rolex ?
Rolex already seems pricey for what it is ... panerai strikes me as seriously overpriced ...
... I can understand the appeal of the designs, but can someone explain its value ?
