I appreciate your aspect, it's more fashion for you provided it works reliably.

There are some fine movements and cases out there such as the $5k Tudor Black Bay Ceramic, or for $12k the SS Bvlgari Octo FS with world record thin movement.

For those into style, Bell&Ross have such a wide variety of products that compete with Panerari yet at far lower pricing. If you love bronze casing, for example, they have some great divers for $4600 with blue dial, green dial, etc https://www.bellross.com/our-collect...ER-BRONZE-BLUE

For me, it's the question of true product value versus aspirational pricing, since the movement is being devalued without full disclosure yet retail pricing seems to be escalating. I look forward to your thoughts comparing Bell&Ross to Panerai.
