Thank you so much for the tour, Nad, and great to see you posting.

I hadn't seen the Luminor with 0/8 power reserve indicator.... very nice!!

Would love to hear your impressions of SIHH 2018 having seen them "in real life".

I don't get why those Radiomirs are so thick! The historic 3646 are so much thinner. They are making the Luminors thinner, but doing nothing for the Radiomirs. That is why the 232 is still king to me.

Thanks for sharing Nad.

The L'Astronomo Moonphase is stunning. I'd be happy if I could afford to even consider one.

Thanks for sharing, Nad

Notwithstanding the amazing but not-wearable Astronomo Luminor 1950, it was clear that this was a "consolodation" year for Panerai. More basic models with in-house movements and expansion of the Due line for a broader audience.

It makes sense and expecting next year to have many more new and exciting offerings!

There are still models from 2017 that have not yet been released, Lb ID and BMG Submersible.

The models looked great and Panerai should have a great year with these releases!

I liked the Due from the first time I saw it. The new 38mm will definitly expand the customer base.

Merci, great feedback and much appreciated.

As for 2017, I knew about the BMG troubles, but didn't know about the Lab ID! 'Doh.... well, with two 2017 stars not making it to production, it makes even more sense why this year was rather bland.

That being said, I'm excited to see the Bettarini 8-day with power reserve and the DLC Cali. And I'm also happy to see that you're satisfied... it seemed like you had pulled back from Panerai recently.

This is the 2nd time I have heard of BMG troubles. What troubles are they having? Where is this info coming from? I'm curious because I have been wanting one since it was first unveiled.
