I actually love the design of Panerais. However, it is releases like these that puts me off from acquiring one. Where is the subtlety?...surely a watch that would only appeal to fanboys.

Why let one watch prevent you from enjoying the other watches in the collection? It is a watch designed for the fan boys, don't get that.

Not just one watch, the Brooklyn bridge edition with the unfinished movement takes the cake for one of the worst horological "crime".

It is indeed a steep slope for Panerai when it comes to making mistakes. The funny thing is, after all the brouhaha, not many actually took up the offer by Panerai (half hearted at that) to have the movement changed. And I will not be surprised that one day in the future, it may end up being a sought after model....

Maybe Patek should learn from Panerai and leave some movements unfinished to one day become highly sought after at an auction.  Heck, maybe all watch manufacturers should start doing it too.  ::)  What is the world coming to?

Yeah, what is the world coming to? Imagine paying extra for watches with defective dials.....  ::)

With such a price tag one can buy a Daytona instead. There is no such thing as forever, so cheesy.
