Officine Panerai

Feels like they have lost their way

Oh well, since your eyes are already hurting, might as well post the granddad "Rick" released a while back Hahahahaha

Dear Andrea,
I do a little anthropologic research.
You are very honest, not a Panerai guy as an Italian.
I thought Italians are loving all Italian brands.

Me as a Dutch guy loves Dutch watches.
I own just none 😎

But i am curious what your thoughts are about Bvlgari?

Me, yes it are nice watches that are good lookers.

I think bvlgari makes fantastic watches, the tech is incredible, but I don't like their size, I'd like them to be smaller.

I like normal known watches.
Round case, no crazy things.
Here is an example what i like very much.

I like this new option. Do I plan to buy? No. I am a purist based on my own, personal taste. 

Why can Oris do something and Panerai not?

I love panerai watches- even the so called ugly ones: to me i dont give a rats arse about DNA its all BS hyped up paneristi crap
They loved the brand when they got all the limited edition and made huge profits

It's everywhere, now I have to clean my desk, thank you!

..the reason why Panerai should "invade" the Swatch market niche. Lollllllllll

When you think Swatch group has reached the bottom, Richemont surprises everyone with these little gems 💩💩💩

But that is that i like traditional cases.

..a Panerista at heart. As such I think I "owe" them a little respect. Many of us (me first) tend to forget that Panerai is only 30 years' old. Surrounded by brands that have had more than a..century..to create and devolpe their own image and style, Panerai could be still considered a debutants' ball crasher with a rented magician-powder-blue-tux, street shoes and white socks. Let's hope that, eventually, they'll be able to put it all together. That's because if they do and continue to do business, the chances of producing what looks like a REAL PANERAI, will still be there

Lots of strange comments here (mho)!
Remember guys, if there would not be the PLASTIC Swatch, there probably would not be the mechanical luxury watch, as we know it! This includes Panerai… ☺️

I was told 20 years ago my 40mm blue dial was an abomination. How things change.

that much. As far as I'm concerned, your 40mm etc, etc remains an...abomination. Now is surrounded by many others. As I have written many times. If you pointed a gun at my forhead, told me: buy one, I would smile and say: shoot Lollll

True beauty 

And the light green dial wins against the other two. With my failing eyesight, I honestly have a hard time reading the hour induced with this model. 🙁
