But most regular folks simply can't afford a Panerai and it is not the best watch to wear with a suit as such will you see more of them on the street, yes... There are more of them out there already, and there will be more in the future. Will it become, no... it already is mainstream.

I agree.....it's as mainstream as any limited edition item can get. For the most part...they sell everything they make. It's kind of like asking if Ferrari is mainstream....well not in the sense of everyone's got one....but if you start looking and watching for Ferrari's...suddenly every now and then you see one.

Ok......bad example...but you know what I mean. There is not one month that goes by that someone doesn't call me out with my pam. Was at a neighborhood party a few months ago....when the host asked about mine..then showed me his...then introduced me to 4 other guys wearing 44's.

They're out there..............
