Love The Look Of This Watch [249 California Dialled Rad]I'm on a list at a UK AD [though never dealt with before] and the Panerai Boutique both say you should get one , might be just bull though  but would bring a smile to my face if i got a call

OK what is it you just don't like about this watch!!
Its got a cool unique look, IMHO worth the ££$$ well that's for the individual to judge basic hand wound movement, nothing fancy or cutting edge, hours/minutes[what no moving seconds hand, no date  plain basic dial although a unique font layout for a 21st century timepiece, guess you ether get or you done [eh!! darren]

Stop it! I've gone all funny inside.
That strap looks as if it was made from a couple of cows, there's so much leather. :lol:

Well guess I'm not going to get one now! even after many promises as it was a limited edition, maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. Is Panerai merely style [ a purely personal perspective] over form! the latest in house movements have merits but the basics movements  in comparison to other marques guess style plays a strong hand in the value factor to individuals [ the value of anything is how it makes you feel ]

I have strong feelings about Panerai. I had a PAM93 and while it was a stylish watch, I always had it in the back of my mind that it was an old style brought up to date by a company that had purchased the brand name. I must admit, their marketing strategy has been brilliant and their customer relations are good. However, I still regard modern Panerais as usurpers to the original company made watches. This is just a personal view and probably not shared by many others.

I'd like to dip my toe! but its the local Panerai AD's that make me think stuff it!! my Rolex AD doesn't hold the brand.......and its hard work breaking in a new AD but my thoughts are should you need too! should any AD be as righteous as to demand so much and give so little [Panerai] my Rolex local independant AD gave me a discount from the off on a SD, great customer service and delivered a SS Daytona within 6 weeks!!!!!!!
