Not a fan of Panerai, however i believed they are trying to play high-end to elevate their brand's status and cheapen their entry ranges to feed new customers. Dilemma indeed. Same for AP, just too many ROO.

I've been contemplating adding another watch to my modest collection

and was looking forward to seeing the latest. For better or worse I think you're spot-on in your observations, especially with regard to IWC and the new Cartier offerings in steel (nicely done, Cartier). As for Panerai I've never had the wrist for them an...
