panerai has ways to go before reaching rolex
i just have a rant about the panerai company. if there are panerai employees here please take note.
its so hard to get service here in Philippines and Asia in general. and when i want to order a model. it takes them so long to get it. so much unlike rolex. the availablility is there when you want it, and service is always there. |

As for the service - Panerai under Richemont is also a relatively (compared to Rolex) new venture so give it time and it will sort itself out. |

Same with Ferrari cars: hard to get, service is pain in the butt.

And Philippines is not high on Panerai's "export to" country list.
You need to visit Singapore/Hong Kong (and maybe Jakarta) to find a larger selection. |

" Panerai has ways to go before reaching rolex " ......... Too be quite frank,I dont think Panerai would fit on those tiny ways.

![]() ![]() ![]() My, we are in a jovial mood today Neefie. ![]() However, I don't even have a Panerai AD in South Australia and only one Rolex AD. All service work for both of these brands go to Rolex in Victoria. No wonder I don't see many Pams over here. ![]()

louie, I would say 95% of ADs give priority to repeat customers and thats how it should be. I will give you my business (money) and I expect priority. Its the way life is. You want to a table @ a popular coffee shop on Orchard, you better be a customer who tips well ;)

same thing here in vancouver bc.....only one dealer....and you have to be put on a waiting list to get anything. Usually have to wait a year to get what you want. If I go to the United States I can get anything I want with in days!
