Will Panerai pull itself from the deep abyss?

I guess Patek must also be pretty weak, having done the same thing across the board recently.

I don't consider it one of the best moments in Patek history...

Companies go through highs and lows. Panerai isn't as hot as it was a few years ago, but I think they're still in a good position.

I'd like to see Panerai shift their focus a bit by building a really strong core collection (focusing around the Radiomir 1940 and Luminor 1950 collections) and limiting their limited editions.

Agreed, very informative and entertaining.

Panerai just recently moved into a new 10,000 sq. foot manufacturing plant.

I don't think we will need to hold many bake sales for them anytime soon.

There's a bunch of new Panerai watches for 20-25% off on "Touch of Modern" right now...

Not a great thing for the brand.

Just signed in and checked out the prices. Prices are very similar to the prices on Jomashop. Jomashop often has big sales on Patek's and Rolexes on their site as well.

As for the brand and its state today, you could say the same thing about most other brands.

I like my Panerai and I feel these watches are definitely much more unique than IWC/Breitling/Omegas. The huge aftermarket strap community in itself is special and I think it plays a big part in the identity of today's Panerai.

I'm not ready to dump my Panerai. Love my 111F. Been frustrated trying to find a reasonable 382 or 507.

Unless they make a regular production Luminor in bronze (ideally in 44mm) I'm probably not going to add any more Panerais to my stable.
