Are Panerai prices too cheap today ?
A good title to start a discussion First thought ' ofcourse NOT' Why would we want to pay more for our watches. I wish the 372 was 6000 and not 6900 euro When we need to pay we all want to pay the cheapest price But look at 2 icons. The Rolex submariner a...
ahh....that made me feel better...
But I am sure my wife will still complain. But I find it interesting that the 372 is the same price at launch as the 127 with in house movement and new case. On the flip side, is the 375 overpriced for the composite? Food for thought Bruno!
There seem to be some companies that have
readjusted their price points. I believe Zenith watches have become a little more reasonable since the new guy took over. Perhaps Panerai wants the person looking at their watches vs a Rolex and other brands to consider their lower price as a good reason ...
Zenith indeed lowered the price
but the reason is because the previous CEO went mad. Those ugly Defy's didn't sell and definitely not for 15 or 20 K Now they offer very nice watches for very sharp prices ... they need to convince people again but I'm sure if they will get more attention...
I'm almost tempted to ban this post! :-)
for fears of higher authority reading about this... But in all fairness, I do think OP hasn't been too over the top when it comes to price hikes over the years, which in my opinion somehow contributed to the success of the brand. Imagine if the 372 were p...
+30% would give euro 9K
and I think they would not sell 1 piece less. The only mistake they made was the 341. That watch should have cost 12 - max 13 K (euro). The 20K is just insane. And this is imo why they are pretty easy to get. The 339 is the better looking piece and it has...
panerai have been very consistent in pricing their watch according to movement / case mate
My observation leads me to believe that Panerai have been very consistent in pricing their watch according to movement / case material instead of design nor their would price to take avantage of the market response. 41X, 339, 372 and 368 are perfect examp...
In general, I think watches cost too much today
It's getting more and more expensive to buy a nice watch. Retail pricing just keeps going up and up. Sooner or later, it's going to cost $10k to get an entry stainless steel Panerai. Look how much it costs to buy any of the new limited edition AP Offshore...
What make the situation worse are.....
What make the situation worse are speculatory buyers. They don’t necessarily enjoy the watches they buy. Some don’t even intend to wear them. Anticipating future price movements based on the popularity of certain models, as it is easy to spot the stars on...
I think there is a key point to consider Aftermarket
The price increases beyond material costs specifically when you talk about Rolex and Panerai is that they hold their price in the after market. Forget the anomalies like the 127 being a 20k+ watch today if you can find a willing seller and look at the the...
