The boutique wanted me to buy a Tourbilion In order to qualify for a bronzo. Silly concept and marketing and I agree really tarnishing the image of the brand ..

My story with the new Pam590 ......!!!
By: AbuLayan : July 12th, 2014-14:40
I've read from other guys who had the same issue!!. Honestly I don't believe them till I had the same experience. Ok, last month I've contacted a Panerai US Boutique to order the new Pam590 (to be delivered to US address). Last week I got email from the s...

My favorite brand ,but how does 1 expect loyalty when shenanigans like this are being played out. I've never heard of such marketing & frankly disgusted to hear such bad behavior concerning OP. Please let us know if you get any response back from OP. ...
Why, then, not send your daughter...physically...to

book the watch? If I were Panerai and decided to..LIMIT..the distribution of a particular model, to a specific geographical area, I would be weary of bookings NOT received from physical residents of said area. Having said that, I believe that whatever Pan...
No one will listen to me .....

As these instructions came from PANERAI to their worldwide boutiques!!!!!. Again this bad strategy brought the brand to lower level (no regret)!!!!.

I've heard that a member of a watch forum in Korea purchased two 590s in NY boutique recently. I don't think that ridiculous policy comes from HQ directly rather it is likely boutique manager's decision. Hope you can find a solution soon. Tommy

Wow that's unfortunate

That sucks if they're making people buy another Panerai if you want to get a PAM590. I guess the PAM590 is such a hot piece that it's sort of like buying a stainless steel Rolex Daytona at an AD. I don't know how it is now, but AD's used to make you buy a...
It wouldn't say hot

Come one, it's just another base model. Nothing is that hot with this model. It will be available on the second market as brand new and twice the price. And many people will try to sell them with a premium until Panerai delivers this watch to all boutique...
This is called 'packaging'

Years ago, my friend, a Patek AD, would require you buy a 2nd watch if he deigned to sell you a 5970 or something of that level. Now he discounts 5270's. But my point is, eventually they all come down to earth. I find this sort of practice repellant and i...
