NEW PANERAI 2007 >>

I'm not sure but maybe those movements arent even new after all, they are all borrowed from other watch makers within Richmont. I think Panerai is doing this to complete their range of watches to be regarded as one of the most prestigious watch maker and to look for new clients.

Correct me if I'm wrong but supposedly you have all the $ to buy the most expensive PAM, would you be complaining? I know I wouldnt.

i agree with RB i think they r sending a big message to the rep makers and i think it will be message that will not be feasible for them to copy this time

just my two cents

Someone in RWI was saying....anyone who wears a rolex screams "fake!"

Wonder if thats gonna happen or already happening for PAMS.

Yes, I would.


With money out of the equation, if I want complications I'll buy IWC DaVinci , if I want a moon phase I'll buy A. Lange & Söhne, if I want ceramic I'll buy rado, if I want stickers on my dials I'll buy a frogmariner ( ) BUT if I want an expensive PAM, it better be a 10 day auto in a 1950 platinum mini case, only hr-min-sec in the front please, and a power reserve on the back. (If I wear it, there is no need for a power reserve display, right?) And no "platinum" printed on the dial.


You don't see Mercedes building pick ups. You don't see Martin Logan selling computer speakers. You don't see Mont Blanc selling disposable pens.
They can, but they choose not to. They are trying to maintain their image. Panerai had to shake off two things: reps and the "low horological merit". How do paneristi people feel about reps with swiss unitas? Or about all the no-name unitas powered watches? MAD! They had to have their own calibers. They just over did it with new features and busy dials.


Hey, it is not THAT BAD after all. They have a long way to go to match the 50k$ Rolex Daytona "Special Edition" 40mm, bezel set with 36 baguette cognac sapphires, end pieces set with 48 diamonds, 8 diamonds set on leopard print dial!
