Not addicted anymore
I just realised I placed my last order quite some time ago.
I did not order or buy anything at SIHH 2011 and the same for 2012
hmmmm, 2 years without a new Panerai.
Y reason I just got tired of their LIMITED ( ' probably until SIHH next year' ) EDITIONS. Just wondering if some of you share this feeling.
You know all the california dials, SLC dials, boutique editions....
and the 507 or is it 508 ( the second bronze) only made it worse for me.
Maybe the price became a problem too ... the 372 for example is a nice watch but almost euro 8K for only 2 hands ?? When I look at Zenith, and JLC I can find much more for that price. Or euro 13K for the ceramic diver ????
Like said, it's been 2 years and to be honest ... in these last 2 years I even sold a few of them.
I wonder if the hunger will ever return

Hopefully, the price is not in proportion with the number of hands. ;)
I know some 3 hands watches which are around 80 K euros! :) Difficult to judge the price of a 372 compared to other watches. A lot of modern watches are indecently priced, so discussions about prices are not very interesting, IMO. I find the 372 to be a v...
In the same feeling my friend …ill get the 512 as its a great Rolex design
And maybe the 186 And sell the rest Best Imran
I haven't bought a "contemporary" for quite a while...
in the last 2 years I just bought a Pre-V and 3 Pre-As. I've become addicted to the...T-swiss-T dials :-)
Same here....
... but i call it differently. I think tastes evolve, just not attracted anymore. Though you have raised an important point as i have many friends that feel the same and are fed up with the strategy of throwing a million variations of limited ed, boutique...
I do agree
Reissuing watches like the younger brother of the 285, numerous reissues of the Cali dial and many other limited editions. I know they have to make a profit but it seems a massive blowout of too many extra models. I know there is the thing about "DNA" wit...
Same here...and similar feeling applies to AP too
They launch too many roo limited with different color schemes :(
It will return and what you're going through is normal
I haven't bought a new Panerai in a while too, but that doesn't mean my passion for Panerai is gone completely. I still appreciate and look forward to each year's new offerings with much anticipation. What you're feeling is probably what many long time Pa...
Agree
indeed Anthony i think many of the oldtimers are on a saturation point with Panerai, besides their marketing strategy which a lot of us don't like either :) just wonderring if the hunger will come back one day ?? in my case i don't think it'll be soon ......
I think you may only need buy one watch
from Panerai and you have all their DNA? Gary
I haven't bought any since my last pre-v
because I feel I have gotten the best piece of the modern Pam can offer. I love what I've got and I need to see what else Panerai, both new and old has to offer. For now, I'm pretty done, but I still love pam. Mech.
I would have agreed entirely but
The PAM 510 caught me by surprise. For that price I think you get quite a good bang for your buck. As for the 372, I never thought of picking it up brand new for something considered to be non exclusive. You are right, the 8K Euro price point is a bit ste...
510 is indeed not overpriced, BUT
if you have or had a 111, 318,001,005 .... I'm not gonna buy it again just because of the 8 days movement
Personally I
found the merit of in-house 8 day movement to be rather interesting, especially compared w/ the ETA powered predecessor. Obviously if you have one of those earlier A/B/C series w/ T dial it's a different story otherwise I don't see any problem w/ selling ...
I remain addicted, but sober
I'm still in love with Panerai, but have now become more judicious in my purchasing/collecting. And I'm actually one of the purists that love (almost prefer) the new stuff. But that has put me at heads with frusturating LE approach that Panerai now takes....
Couldn't disagree with you more! What more does Panerai need to do?
With all due respect, I am always surprised when I hear that Panerai enthusiast are disappointed with the new additions. In my opinion, Panerai is doing a tremendous job! Honestly, better than tremendous! They are doing and have done a Spectacular job! In...
They DO make some awesome watches but as a brand awesome? I disagree respectfully
When it comes to customer service they can learn a lot from the others The design is strong , all I can say is that Rolex magic is strong!!! For me a rad and a Luminor and you pretty much have everything you need Just my 2 rupees Imran Mandy Miranda Amand...
Same here, but...
I think the new 8 day movement in the 111 form will bring me back as they do more with that movement --- maybe a variant of the 000 with that movement? And same with the 1940s case. But for now, my "base only" collection feels pretty complete. That said, ...
