I very much appreciate your work in bringing this report to us. I know how much effort it takes to take photographs such as these, and that fact is not lost on me. You have done a superb job and are extremely unselfish in your efforts to do it for no other reason that to share the fascination with the Paneristi community.
I will take your advice and reserve my opinions for the moment I am able to see these timepieces in person. I suppose I share the opinions of others in saying that I'm not too sure I care for some of the new designs, especially that new bracelet. Seeing these pieces "in the flesh" will tell the story.
I agree that Panerai needs to innovate and move in new directions, which I don't mind at all, especially regarding the use of in-house movements. Thankfully, I love the watches I now have, and the few I still want are within reach, unlike these new pieces...and that's OK with me. I can admire them without being tortured by the need to own them!
Thanks for your marvelous work.
