for me i dont like current panerai offerings and they were caught with misleading statements on their movement.
i also dont like their direction of trying to cater to the mass market. that said i think there will always have room for panerai. they may go through tough times but will still be around. now is their time to leverage given rolex shortage |

I continue to enjoy my 233 and have started to swap the straps just to try different looks.
My initial impression is that it is not as easy to do as it looks on YouTube. I worry that I might lose the pin that connects the strap to the lug and want to have some back ups just in case. Does anyone have a place they use to buy these pins? I want to get high quality ones, because it would be a shame to lose the 233 if the pin failed while I was wearing it. Also, I did get a deployant buckle in addition to the tang, just to have something different. Quite frankly, I don't like the dual opening design and find it harder to use than the tang buckle. Wish they made a single opening design like Rolex.

In my scuderia ,have the following :
Discontinued 289 Red Gold 233 with dot 249 California 341 Egyptian 671 Blue Bronzo 292J (PIG on the dial 2006) 932 Mediterrrano Edition Current: 422 425 S.L.C. I look for classics from the correct era to ad ,although I see future classics amongst the current production models .Select wisely . The current PAM 1070 Gold-Tech is a beautiful reference ! Will be a practical wearer too,with carbon black bezel. Sales figures for 2021: Rolex 1,050,000 Cartier 600,000 Omega 570,000 Tudor 300,000 Patek 68,000 Panerai 72,000 The cult gets Panerai ,the masses wait for Rolex |
