Note: Mods, this is in no way an advertisement as I have no personal or financial interest in Mario Puci watches except for his exceptional straps.

Mario Paci is a very talented man and his straps are good workmanship. But it takes more than that to launch a watch into horological standings.

Some brands like Patek, lange took over 150 years. Panerai is a runaway success...only because of cetain factors plus luck.....most importantly DNA.
These are things MP cannot re-produce....ane neither could RXW.

So, no worries that MP PVD watches will hurt Pam at all. Pam's growth or degeneration is more dependent on AB's plans and directions more than anything else.

Story goes b4 Cartier Group took over tis small workshop in Italy that produce Miltary Dive Watch for" Marina Militare" During 70's G.Panerai decided for the first time to appointed a close friend who is an Italian Navy Officer >Dino Zei< as Head of Panerai Firenze to oversee their family business. Mario Paci
was later join as chief QC to ensure each every Pam pass the test together COSC standard .Than he personally certify wif signature & stamped. That's about all we got from Dino Zei & Mario Paci. Tis is gonna be very tough for M.P. watch to be next alternative to a much much costly Panerai PVD. Result has shown on Dino
Zei idea behind his brand >Anomino< has not been making too much noise since their first launch...Sad to say

No fight at all ...
frankly, it's very disappointing.

[Paneraii]

No fight at all ..... x 2

Like all marketing books say.. "always, always go after goliath" . Therefore, it is right that MP is taking on Panerai. Again, no contest at all. Different league

[Destro22BT]

It looks like a frankenwatch honestly... luminor case with radiomir crown and.....UBOAT's 12-4-8 marker positioning....UGGGHHHH!!!! So, no way it's gonna affect PAMs at all. The watch market needs originality in design, which we've rarely seen in recent years...
