Just heard this news....

And just discovered this forum. Hi Anthony, glad to have found this place.

I've just posted this on another forum:

-----------------------------------

This cannot be true. It goes completely against the quality Panerai stands for. And with quality I mean the emotional quality related to the brand, history being a major part of it.
Panerai does show this vividly with the Classic Yacht Challenge. They are even restoring a wonderful vintage yacht right now! I’m sure this will be restored with the qualities that fit the standards in the world of classic yachting.

I think it’s apparently now the moment for Panerai to officially open their ‘Restoration & Preservation Workshop’ for vintage and out of production 10 years+ watches.
Lot’s of brands who respect their heritage have defined the quality standard by means of their own restoration workshops. Mercedes is a good example. Anything from any Mercedes is still available. Their own restoration department delivers the best quality possible. I agree everything comes with a price. But we all know that there are people willing to pay the price needed to keep their precious ‘artefact’ in top condition.

I can not imagine that Panerai is totally saying goodbye to all Vintage, Pre-V, and A-series owners. If this message is true would I be totally stupid to send my Pre-V Logo in for service???? To send my 27 Silver Arrow in???? To send my 25A in???? To send my 1A in???? To send my 1BT in???? To send in my…????

Kindly asking sign. Bonati to please assure us Tritium owners that we are always welcome with Panerai to keep our watches in perfect shape with the preservation of the history of the watch.

Have said it a few times yet, but say it again: “I can not believe this, say it isn’t true, please sign. Bonati?”

And this:

------------------------------------

But then again, I think Panerai should do the effort to find possibilities to create new stock of Tritium part. Soleley for 'restoration and preservation' purposes.
If Tritium is only allowed for serious deep diving equipment, these days, then Panerai could better adapt the seals for higher water resistance, instead of the Luminova swap.
Again, I think it is a very bad case if Panerai can not provide a solution for our Tritium watches.

Any opinions here about how Panerai should or could handle this problem ????
