My rollies never get that..." wow, what kind of watch is that" question....and I've never been called out that its a rep....my gens get called reps all the time....go figure!

Whoa, there seem to be an ongoing mentality that 'all rolexes are reps' with laymen.. no kidding..
first question that come out of their mouth is "wow, is that a real rolex?"


go figure ;)

i just like Panerai because Stallone wears them..he is the best actor of all time. I want to be like him....
he is beautiful, he wears Panerai...so Panerai is beautiful -too.
Panerai is so succesful because they knew that Rambo would wear their watch....Rambo is a american war hero. He is on the side of the good people .So panerai is good and beautiful.
He kicked the Talibans ass !! - oh wow...no, sorry- he kicked the russians ass together with the Taliban...when the Taliban were good and the russians bad...
HOW TIMES CHANGE !!- but Panerai always stays good and beautiful.
Rambo, we wait for you to come back......to go kick Iraqs ass..and the Talibans ass...
Rambo is good....Panerai helps him win ! Panerai is good for America !!

I love panerai but I have to agree that the gens are overpriced.

overpriced??? if you buy them used and sell next year you will make money.. if you buy cheap watches and sell them next year you will lose money. so overpriced? maybe... a good investment? hell yeah! as for gens, i think besides the new TT gmt II, all rolex is overpriced and nothing great. i've had an SS sub, a TT sub, and a datejust and none impressed me. the gen pams i have are incredible quality and very impressive. i don't mind paying for quality.

i agree with the investment value. good products with a good name hold value well.

Admin should delete or hold on this post till the case closed. We on the dark side know that the case is happening now.

I see no point on this post. It is just a raw scrambled egg.

I know I'm going to get bashed for this, but here I go. I'm an avid watch collector, I have both Gens (Rolex datejust, omega constellation, rado, JLC) and also some reps. I clearly don't understand the Panerai craze. I've been to the ADs in Paris (where I used to live) and also Boston (where I currently live) and again Panerai seems like the ugliest watch to me. I was having the same discussion with a friend of mine, a keen watch collector, and he put it best when he said "well as for that italian pie watch, it literally looks like it's worth 5 bucks, I don't get it!!" Even owners of Panerai that I've talked to say that it is indeed overpriced for the specs (but then one may argue so are others).

I see Panerai as what I call a "placebo watch". You are told it's amazing so you buy it, hollywood stars wear it so you buy it, but is it really? So, I apologize, but these are what our forums are for. Now let me have it...

Personally, I always love posts like this.

Someone comes into a section of a forum and tries to stir things up by commenting that "blank" sucks, is overpriced, ugly, etc. It is very juvenile and kinda silly, but still interesting.

I personally like the twist used with all "Panerai suck" posts that state that they are overpriced.

LMAO All high end watches are overpriced.

The only watch that I have ever really looked at and said, "Yep, that is worth every penny." is a G-Shock. All the high end brands are WAY over priced for what they are. You can buy a Patek or a G-Shock that both provide the time, day, date, month, year, second time zone and chrono function. The Patek is made of gold (ooooooh :roll: ) and the G-Shock is plastic. The Patek needs service about ever 5 to 7 years and the G-Shock needs a new battery about every 10 years. The Patek will be utterly FUBARed if you drop it and the G-Shock will bounce. The Patek is a watch that can be handed down to your great grandkids (so the ads say) and so can the G-Shock. The Patek is beautiful, can cost over $80k and is worn by the worlds elite. The G-Shock is basic, ugly, about $80 retail and worn by Marines in jungles and deserts all over the world.

So, what is really overpriced?

So yes Panerai is ugly, blah blah blah. Please tell me something I have not heard before.

Hey, Rodeo, long time no see! :wink: :lol:

This is the same Parisman, aka mark_zimmerman, that stole one of those "ugly" Panerais from Ruby, right? :p

Give it a year. In a year, you'll have three.

I've just moved from Paris too, but I have a design background. The one thing that struck me with the Panerais from the beginning was their typography. Pure art deco at its best. I hated the rest of the look.

However, Mrs Pugwash, who abhors celebrity worship, immediately said that it was the most beautiful watch she'd ever seen, so I decided to get a 111h to see if I'd reject it in the flesh. I now have a 111h, a 183 (Mrs Pugwash's watch), a 127, a 196 and a 187.

So weird that you created this thread, when you vehemently state that you ordered a 172 (and a couple other freebies) from Ruby recently.

What a ukcfing liar you are.
