I've said it many times... Buyers want hand wound, minimal complication, sandwich dial, gold hands, no excess font on dial, regular production models with screw down casebacks for 5-10k.
Panerai intentionally only offers 1-2 of these details per model instead of just giving customers what they actually want. The collection is littered with "special edition" watches with loose associations, unnecessary complications and materials, that are overpriced, that very few people want.
I don't hate Panerai. There are select models (mostly now discontinued) that are outstanding watches that really capture the essence of the brand. It's just everything else seems to be going in completely the wrong direction for me.
