Dear Fellows, I'm in the Panerai world since 2010, so i still consider myself a rookie. I made some mistakes before to find my way, and recently i made the following conclusion: I'm not bored of the ones i own and i still have a lot of pleasure to wear them, even if i had a tiny issue with one of th

I think I started off going crazy on Panerai about the same time you first entered "Panerai world" For what I have felt, mostly it is positivity.. The passion on this brand by the collectors is huge.. And what I feel highly the most is the friendship.. I've met many great new friends who share the same passion. This moment for example... (Although most doesn't wear Panerai anymore) The downside is that someone would really get too much high hope of seeing Panerai making something they really wan
I do agree with you about the "high hope" we have, and the disappointment that follows each year when we discover the novelties. But i'm more disappointed by their lack of originality.
