I think that comment is common sense. Panerai is not on level of AP. That doesn't make Panerai a bad brand. I own three Panerai. I obviously do not own any of the new models. There is no way that any of them are worth what they are charging (experience or not).

I do not own an AP RO Diver, but I have worn both the steel and the ceramic versions. I have a colleague who owns the ceramic version (I have handled it many times) and the steel I have tried on. If I am looking at spending 20-30k on a dive watch, I am already in steel AP territory, precious metal Rolex territory, and PP Aquanaut territory. I just don't think Panerai (as great as the brand is) stacks up those competitors at that price point.
