I recently got into Panerai, love the look and design, but the more I read about the movements, the cost cutting, the scandals and mostly the lack of comment from Panerai about these things- or in fact the lack of remorse and seemingly lack of caring the less I want to part with my money for the brand.
I think to myself for the same price point as a new submersible I could have most steel Rolex (with a wait albeit), most Omega, Tudor, JLC.
I can’t believe I’m saying this- but I recently visited a Hublot boutique on a layover in Qatar, and couldn’t believe how great they were doing with their watches, the pride they had in the movements, the materials they used, the innovations etc. This is what Panerai needs to be doing- and without the ‘e-steel’ rubbish on the dial.
