Temptation is a bitch.

To think that Rolex would entertain such a notion as Panerai were good enough to do, makes me laugh myself sick.

I'm not in the market for the 360 since it means nothing to me but there again I'm never going to be in the market for a new Rolex again.
Too right Paul. And the fact that it's such a limited run makes it so different from anything Rolex would ever do. How many years and countless rumors we heard about the LV being limitedbut unfounded.

As for value overtime who knows. But I know what the F series SD is worth today that I traded for my first Panerai, 27C. I know where they were and are now price wise, no contest which has increased more in market value.

But alas, comparing the two companies is apples and oranges and both companies are doing it right, just differently.
