Hmm in the masses? Not anytime recently

I forgot if I've even been complimented on any of my Panerais by a non-WIS stranger in public. If I have, it must have been many many years ago because I can't recall any instances.

Panerai has already reached the masses, and coming close to being publically recognized as a Rolex Submariner or Datejust, IMO of course. Maybe in 15 years, the average John Doe on the street will recognize Panerai's crown protector.

Panerai is everywhere these days. Even Turtle in the most recent episode of HBO's hit series "Entourage" got a new PAM w/ bracelet as one of his birthday gifts.

Cheers,
Anthony

Panerai in the masses?

By: D-Rock : July 27th, 2009-20:38

I was out to dinner with my girlfriend this past weekend, and she noticed a man wearing a Panerai. I was impressed that she recognized the man's watch as a Panerai model. I could tell it was a PAM24, and I complimented him on his exceptional taste in time...

Nobody, and never, not even once! But I don't show off my Pannies. And honestly, I don't care people notice it / them. I love my Pannies for what they are: Solid and reliable toolwatches. Best, Nicolas

I could probably count them on one hand, not often at all! nt

I was complimented a few times

By: BluNotte : July 28th, 2009-05:55

Because here in Japan Panerai is really crazy, and it seems to have come back once again to the mainstage! Of recent times, I have noticed many females sporting a Panerai here in Tokyo, more than the males actually! Cheers Stephen

Best, Nicolas...

Now I am really worried my friend. Have you heard of the fable by Aesop about the rabbit and the turtle??? the turtle won At least the turtle did not get your 190 Cheers

Don't worry, Pink Panther, there is a story behind

Never

Panerais are too common here and the average Joe would not recognize the fakes from the super rare vintage. I have noticed admiring glances when wearing other high end brands but never a direct compliment. I once made the mistake of complimenting someone ...
