Was the change for the P.9010 to improve profit?
Prices for Panerai watches haven't gone down, so with reduced costs, would increase profit.

If that's the motive, seems kinda lame. They'll probably keep increasing watch prices and could have squeezed in another price bump to increase profit vs dumbing down the movement.

As for removing the hacking mechanism to improve reliability, also kinda lame since so many other movements hack and are reliable. If Panerai can't achieve that as a manufacturer, that's really weak.
