Officine Panerai

I'm sure many feel the same way as you do Nicolas

 

You and everyone else are always free to speak your mind here as long as you have phrased your post politely, of which you have done, so don't be afraid to voice your opinion.  Remember, PuristSPro's motto is "Passion, Opinion, Information " so opinions (good or bad) are always welcomed here.

There are some Panerai collectors who only buy Pre-V, vintage, and A/B series and don't bother with any of the new models.  There's no problem with that at all.  How does the saying go?  One's man garage is another man's treasure smile (sorry i don't know the exact phrasing :P)

Hmm that's an interesting idea Nicolas!  Creating a new case for the ultra high end pieces.  I personally always wanted Panerai to introduce another case (the 1950 case to me really isn't a "new" case) and I hope they do!  If if they ever do, I'm curious to see how this new case will look like. 

Cheers,
Anthony

I received an email from a fellow Paneristi and thought we could have a discussion here

Here are some of his questions, and I would love to hear everyone's thoughts/opinions. . Thanks! Cheers, Anthony Question #1: How do you see Panerai as a company and its products moving forward? More high end, special edition pieces or turn into what Brei...

Question #1: How do you see Panerai as a company and its products moving forward? More high end, special edition pieces or turn into what Breitling is now? I think if we just look back over the past five years you can see one thing. Panerai is keep a good...

Maybe I'd be fired for that but who cares??? I don't see Panerai as a high end manufacture with tourbillons, MR, or PC... It's for me a total non sense. I'd appreciate if they create a solid a,d basic in house movement, and another with a long power reser...

1. I used to follow Breitling rather closely, but became tired of the brand when it was not sufficiently innovative to retain my interest. The Navitimer (once a favorite of mine) and the Chronomat have seemed to be the basis of the brand for decades. How ... 

Who is that e-mail writer?

Anthony, They sounds like the sort of questions that Panerai marketing would ask. Or they should be asking if it's not them! Regards, MTF P.V. This message has been edited by MTF on 2007-10-22 05:16:49

q1. I am having trouble justifying my love for Panerai these days. I am still a big fan, but I prefer to wear AP and sold or in the process of selling my Panerais. I think they lost direction and clearly following Breitling. If you search Paneristi you wi... 

AB is smart and knows what he's doing

This is why he hasn't introduced a 1950 47mm base, 47mm auto, and all the other watches you've listed. If you were the CEO of Panerai, would you want to release all these models at the same time? Heck no. Panerai is a business and here to generate profits... 

Yes, but

I agree about not getting everything out now! You missunderstood my point. The question was about direction Panerai was going now. I think they are not presenting anything to die for (2007) and going Breitling road for now. Mr Bonati clearly knows what He... 

Panerai is getting expensive just like all the other brands

Unfortunately when retail prices go up, they rarely ever go back down. And when prices keep going up, that's when the consumer begins to expect mandatory discounts when purchasing from an authorized dealer. Cheers, Anthony
