IMHO Panerai is going the opposite direction these days with too many SE and LE, especially with boutique LE. Kind of similar to direction AP took in recent years churning out too many LE/SE. Makes more $ for the companies but start to lose their faithful followers...

Just my 2cents.

Did Temasek Holding pump into Richsmont group later" LOL !!! They should have a serious thought .IMO

Many LE and SE is very bad for resale of these watches. Panerai going the route of AP have done.. .. is bad for collectors. but good for common people Some APs are going 40% less of RRP

[johnfish]

Something AP couldn't match OP base on "Pricing & design models" They out do them in all aspect

Yesterday....

Mr Lennon... I am so close to filing a missing person report with the neighbourhood police post... a missing Lennon...

my subjective feel is Panerai is very motivated to meet full year numbers...

Johnny who looks very very like Lennon!

Welcome home my brother! Its not the same without you here- less poison hehehe.

Next time dont go baking so long..

On the subject..oh well, for what its worth, I kinda like the 412 and with a bit of luck and hope, I'll be capturing it.

For me its kinda personal coz a spent a few good years working in HK until recently. Had an awesome time there and so many wonderful memories theres....and what better way to remember my time there than my favourite instrument of time-a Panny!
