There's hardly much point in waiting for the SIHH show

with Panerai anymore. It seems like a constant stream of micro releases throughout the year. They either have a fantastic watch design team that has an unending flow of creativity or they think it's good for the brand to make minor tweaks to watch that have only just been released so they can have the next latest "must have watch" many times a year. It seems to me to be the latter.
Can't say I understand the strategy. It's a shame as the core design of their watches are fantastic.

Been quite some time since I said that. But I am affraid it is a boutique only piece and if it correct I'm affraid it will be very difficult for me to get one.
9200 euro isn't indeed cheap

But panerai in general is gettin very expensive. If people pay 8k for a 372, they will pay 9200 too for this. On the orher hand, the 514 is only 6400 so adding some black DLC and charging 3k extra is indeed expensive. But 500 pieces ain't much
I think everyone will agree with you that Panerai isn't cheap anymore

and actually getting really expensive. Gone are the days when I can buy any watch I wanted, so I really need to be prudent on what to buy nowadays. I hope my wish of striking it filthy rich comes true in the very near feature!! - AT
You're quite right, of course. The prices have...

spiralled upwards with a furious momentum and are still climbing (next increase is but a few days away). Talk about "milk the cow" :-) The rapid expansion of the network, unrelenting opening of Boutiques, obviously, requires amount of money that STILL hav...
LOL I wish!

I only have 4 Panerai's! If I had the funds, I would have bought a PAM372, PAM398, and PAM399 :) - AT

Pics by shing posted originally in HoMe forum in his Watches&Wonders thread here: I'm not sure what is below but looks like some type of Panerai pocket watch with a domed crystal? Thanks Shing for the pics! Cheers, Anthony ...
Corporate only?

at least what I have heard...
What do you mean with Corporate only ?
By: Bruno.M1 : September 26th, 2013-09:54
I presume there will be lists LOL There are Always lists ;-) We all know the 360 story, some went via the paneristi list ( about 180 or so) others went via Panerai. Anyway you had to be on the list LOL I see no reason why it would be different this time. ...

Not in love...
By: patrick_y : September 27th, 2013-09:21
I really like the classic models; the 390 and 203 remain my favorites. I even really like the 111, something classic that will always be Panerai and never really go out of style. The Radiomirs with classic dials and special movements (from Rolex or Minerv...
I need one :-)
By: Bruno.M1 : October 2nd, 2013-10:27
really want it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know more about the distribution ? Some via Paneristi ? Via boutiques ? Via AD ?
I was just told also via the AD
By: Bruno.M1 : October 7th, 2013-02:58
but ofcourse VERY limited supply. Most will probably go via boutiques, but some will be sold via AD's. I guess you'll have to know somebody because you won't see it in the window being unsold. The demand for the 360 was about 3000 pieces , I can't imagine...
