Some really good points made here. I don't have a Panerai in my collection at the moment, for the first time in years, but I will get one again soon.
Its fine to say they used to sell out watches however they only used to give each AD 1/2 of each watch a year so yes they sold out, but they were not making the most of the opportunity. They also had hardly any AD's from memory.
They have made some questionable moves but I don't resent things like the snap on case backs. If I was 30 years younger and starting out, the new 1085 Blu Mare is exactly what I would go for. I would probably only have 4/5k to spend. Would I even know then it was a snap on caseback? Its not like it falls off.
Like the new Radiomirs as well. The green cali has my attention.
As for Porsche, the Sales people at my dealership struggle with the purists there as well! I used diplomatic language there.......
