Truth is you can get any cheapie watch made in china or whenever with a manul wind unitas movement, there are dozens on ebay under $200, and they mostly look like panerai's. The reason for buying a watch isn't because it has a in-house movement, or because it is in style or well known. Panerai's appeal to some more than others, the buyer can justify the quality. Some people's $4000 is more valuable than others, and if they are going to throw down that much money they will spend it on something they want, even if the watch as a basic movement and is larger than life.
