Panerai is not the same anymore! I used to have more than 40 panerais in my collection back in the days and sold most of them in 2013. Today I’m left with barely 3 pieces. They’ve been milking the cow over and over again.

The brand losing its way to boost sales?

I came across this special edition panerai for a famous Indian cricketer. No doubt it will boost sales in the market but what will it do for the historical brand value traditionally associated with war time collaboration and the ocean? Is this part of pan...

Is the fit, finish and movement of superior quality or has there been a downturn in this arena? Is it really fair to compare old to new?The new movements produced by Rolex are superior to the ones produced 20 years ago as far as performance is concerned i...

All of a sudden some models are being stripped of their "in-house" movements for reworked Sellita movements. Many people do not like that idea but it's been a Richemont thing for some time.

That's the spirit....

The Panerai tradition/heritage is present, nowadays, in a handful of hopless romantics. I like it, I buy it and am I getting the right value for my money, it's what it boils down to...these days! The question: "Is it a PANERAI" has become a redundant and ...

The Pxxxx movements have been rock solid, IMO. Many of them are far more interesting than anything Rolex makes.

the balance sheet is the most important issue, for a public company. Without profits there is no...company . Every other consideration takes the back seat. Once you've decided to get out of your "niche", you have to chase after potential buyers, not seat ... 

Fictitious history

Do a search for Perezscope on IG or Google. He's documented research on Panerai's false history along with the fugazi crowd that hyped up the fake vintage Panerai market. It's a very interesting read.

I fail to see the....
