Have wondered if the reason they removed the hacking mechanism is because it created too much side load on the balance wheel and damages the balance staff. -John
I seriously love the Luna Rosa collaboration pieces
I can’t pass them up. They are really good looking and unique watches. Submersible is my favorite. Even though Panerai is soon going to downgrade to the point of selling watch cases with no movements! P.900 had hacking removed in this model!!! It’s all go...
Agreed, this is a particularly cool looking collaboration.
But your point about the movements is well taken.
It’s a fashion brand now
I still like their designs but it’s getting harder and harder to buy their product as the quality keeps going down. I was shocked that the already and in my opinion a totally trash movement they downgraded even more by removing hacking! The design was goo...
The eSteel thing isn't that bad honestly
At the end of the day you wouldn't even be able to tell recycled from non recycled steel, so as long as the prices don't increase as a result of this move, it's nice to be a little more eco friendly
Prices did increase
Someone has to pay for their R&D. Panerai has moved up market and away from their core competency because this CEO is a fashion guy. I still like how they look but no way in heck am I spending over 10k in any Panerai… zero chance on my end!
I fully agree
This P.900 is pedestrian. I would go as far as saying seiko’s 6R35 movement is better.
All part of the ESG and global climate agenda
Let’s see how it goes years down the line. This looks and reminds me of how Apple did things. When they removed ports from lap tops and then removed the mag safe only to bring it back years alter. One thing Panerai did right was break out the submersibles...
Two weekends ago, I walked into the Chicago Panerai boutique.
Of all the watches in the cases, these exact two stood out of the crowd. Funny, but these executions are attractive to both the first and seasoned owners. That sunray blue dial had total case presence! The red accents are such a tease. Enjoy that beautifu...
Well then you tried on MY WATCH!
Did you go to Waldorf? Oh in person the execution of this dial and strap is very nice. Stands out of the crowd for sure!
Oh nice! It’s a great boutique
Hope you tried some Lou Malnatis and Portillo’s during your visit!
Awesome!
Next time you are here and decide you want a timepiece let me know! I’ll put you in touch with the owners of the boutique! I plan to write a small review after a couple weeks of wearing the submersible!

That’s the hard part of life for some! Letting go and moving forward kindly, organically and honestly!
