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....
