C - Blatant Use of lower echelon, cheap, non- Chronometer grade ebauche’s
D - No refinement on the design of the dial ( not exactly an AP dial)
E - Stallone himself (He who single-handedly made Panarai into a very big brand) no longer is seen wearing any Panarai
Therefore no demand on the secondary market for a $300 watch that MSRPed for $8500 (and is now languishing in EBAY stores) other than younger, uninformed buyers….
Good Luck!

I would say there is plenty to pick on with Panerai, as is with other brands, but your 5 points really miss the mark here…
