Here, here....
that's a clever approach. Only, IMO, instead of drawing the line at movements the....demarkation lines....should be 3, actually:
1) The assembling period (the vintage era with the Marina Militare as the sole driver of the evolution) Super CULT stuff.
2) The Panerai&Figlio...commercial....endevour, known as Pre-V. CULT stuff
3) The Richemont era. Wider customer base. Catering for a wider public and in-house movement, taking full advantage of the manufacturing capabilities of the group and the need to create the "future" Panerai.
Where do I stand? As written earlier, I believe that Richemont has the task of carrying Panerai well into the future and as such are entitled to create any model they believe will help them do so. As for the in-house movements, I'm all in favour since this will put Panerai (in not too distant a future) on a more equal playing field with the....celebrated....horologiers.
After all, folks, only by furthering the life of Panerai, whichever way Richemont sees fit, the historic and heroic part of the name will remail a....living...legacy..
Will I wear a 305 or a 317 on my wrist....not in a million years....

What EXACTLY are in the DNA of Panerai?
Given my earlier conversation w/ another fellow Purists, I would like to know as to WHAT exactly do you consider as the right DNA for a Panerai? Does it have to be a Luminor w/ crown guard? Does it have to be cased in SS or any white metal would do? Does ...

Laboratory Of Ideas. Nothing more, but nothing less. Laboratory Of Ideas... This is a great concept, so historically correct when we speak about D.N.A, don't you think? What was Panerai in 1860 and onwards? A Manufacture? N.F. W ( sorry, but my american f...

Salute Sergio
Very succinct summary which I agree. I love chronographs and had a few panerai chronographs, but it is down to just one chrono, the Daylight PAM196. To me , I have come to realise that Panerai for me is like you have described so eloquently. I go for the ...
I'm curious ...
Which models you got for rose gold, 42mm, and 45mm? I'm keen to know your answer and thought about these 3 pieces. Best Tyler
I have a 42mm 184 and 45mm 197 in RoseGold...
In fact only 2 pieces, since the RoseGold 45mm it's only one. I forgot I also have a "composite" 339.... Cheers - Sergio

my take
Does it have to be a Luminor w/ crown guard? yes Does it have to be cased in SS or any white metal would do? SS only. however, other metals, esp gold pieces are produced in much smaller quantities, and i just love them though. Does it have to have a crapp...

DNA is now only skin deep...
so what were these watches intended for? reliable, legible and waterproof for military use. Polished cases, precious metals, highly decorated movements, complications, exclusive numbers and outrageous prices... This is not DNA. Panerai DNA is now only ski...

my take?
Does it have to be a Luminor w/ crown guard? No Does it have to be cased in SS or any white metal would do? Steel--but fortunately DNA implies evolution, so I am not at all opposed to other materials. I'd love to see a return to palladium--and It thrills ...
Talkin about DNA
I can tell you DNA suffers variations, being natural or induced ones. Even in nature, individuals of the very same species are full of genetical varations!!! That's what makes them more fit or resistant to illnes, climate variations and cosmic radiation a...
I consider Panerai to hav 2 different DNA's
A Panerai model that represents the "old" Panerai DNA is the PAM203. And a model that represents the "new" Panerai DNA is the PAM372. I feel Panerai's DNA is evolving towards in-house movements rather than the Unitas found in some of the Historic models. ...
