Also Long tenured OP Boutique managers have told me that the Paneristi client is pretty much gone. I was was the only familiar face he had seen from the "glory days" in quite some time. The sales are to fresh customers looking for something different. Might be good for the brand (maybe), but that is NOT good for the classic stuff that was propped up by the Paneristi buyer...

So in other words if you have any sensitivity to losing money / zero value appreciation, walk away from Panerai. Walk away.

I was shocked to visit Paneristi a few month back to see the devastation of that, what could be considered “the” Panerai forum. Totally astonishing, the exodus has been almost complete abandonment.
