And making their 'flagship' watch prone to scratches is just a wrong marketing move.

they could have made the N series 3500 pcs as a plexi only for purist and then O onward as a sapphire for general public, therefore it keeps both audience happy, the purist gets what they want and general people are buying it.

too bad, OP too bad, wrong move, no one will spend $10k for a watch that scratch

I wouldn't consider the 372 Panerai's "Flagship" model by any means.
