Hanz I wanted to agree with you until the calling of brotherhood is no longer exemplified there earlier when I read a post about Panerai boutique practices. Why I said this is the was another forum member knowing the poster's identity and he tried to be a hero by revealing his or her identity and calling that person a troll? Now tell me, is this gentlemanly? I would say NO. Is this what brotherhood is all about? NO. Is this how u put another person down so that you can feel more "belonged" to that Paneristi club? NO. I have just witnessed a lot of self-glorification over at Paneristi, heroism in something very fake, pretentious, and honestly I am so disappointed when I see a brother revealing another brother's identity and even thought it is definitely not a true reflection of his identity, still he went ahead so as to get a few compliments for being the guardian, passionate true "risti", that's a load of bull. I have been lurking there for moons and all I see is a bunch self-glorifying so called Panerai torch bearers. You can enter but you have to be very careful with your choice of words and opinions. You can only compliment the almighty and u must not say or point out problems, weaknesses or discuss loose screws, bad workmanship, unfinished movements, or joke about little things of Panerai, or question true integrity of the people there because you will be removed, deleted, marked with a big X or if they know where u live, they will throw red paint at your house, burn your car, and u will lose all your friends you have built through that little community at Paneristi.com whom have have for the past 12 years afraid to admit there are other better brands out there because of the fear of being labeled betrayal by their community. And if you do that, you have to say sorry a thousand times and show fantastic wristshots of every Panerai model out there and tell all your friends even though their Panerai models suck, you must pretend to like them. Call the ugliest the most beautiful. So very uncool if you ask me. So very unfriendly. Too protective and too out of this world. Crazy and slightly insane. I will make sure if we ever get an OP boutique here, the service and knowledge of the sales personnel better be good, if not I will complain over at Paneristi.com OR wait a minute, should I even pose another question about whether or not certain models are marked up 10 times and cost a car to attain and when I put on the wrist, I belong to the community. That be fun. I will sure be deleted. And wait I might be labeled as a troll!!!! Or a brother may eventually find out my identity from MWF and call me a troll and i will be so ashamed and embarrassed for the fact he glorified himself through the self proclaimed "brotherhood". So laughable man. Screw that. That's bullshit and I wish Paneristi.com all the best. I will continue to lurk there and you guys pls remember, pray everyday to the almighty.
