Panerai is not the only brand I have had quality control issues with, but it was the most frequent. I have owned 8 different Panerai at one time or another and I have had movement issues with at least half of them. Their 8 Day manual wind movements tend to run really fast when fully wound. I have never had this issue with IWC who also offers 8 day power reserves. I hate to say it, but my most reliable Panerai were my 005 and 024 which had ETA movements.
