Thanks for sharing.

448 did it.

Hi bro..not so high...approx price of EUR 6700...which works around $11k

[Keith8896]

If I own a 249, I will be damn pissed with them making the 448.

If I don't own a 249, I will be damn pissed off with them making the 448 and selling it higher price than 249.

At least AP made RB1, RB2, RB3.....and not RB2(ver2)!

Richemont did the right thing for biz.

To start off pam have a small base of customer compare to other brand like rolex, pp, ap, omega.

Example:

Losing 80% of existing customer base but gain 10% of new customer from the non pam lover base.
It make Business sense.

Yes I agree, from a business viewpoint it makes full sense. Panerai's market share is small as compared to Rolex but Panerai is developing a niche market for itself in the big sports watch category.

At the end of the day, Panerai has to make money from their investment in a new factory and R&D for the in-house movements.

Interesting. Tx for sharing.

Anybody wants to buy my kidney??

Wow so seriously poisoned? Try your luck at MBS or RWS before you start selling your parts.

[Iceheller]

Panerai seem to be doing the right things, first start with the case/material and then move on to movement( though the price shoots like mar rover over the past decade.) But using a minimum 3 day reserve is a good one for watch at that price range. Most brands are using movements that last less than 50hrs and selling like Pam price should be shot!
