what with panerai, some of their model or most of them have cheap mechanism inside. i dun like the huge size, it is fashion, soon it will be out of fashion soon to wear a clock on your wrist.
You are right cannot afford wearing a VC even if you own it...All repairs done only in Switzerland...must fly it to and fro.The leather strap itself cost minimum 500 bucks.Some of their models limited edition which even the watch community donch know.But really beautiful creation of art unlike Patek plain and blunt.That's why I say buy VC only if you are a royalty.
very wise.......................that's what i think too.......................it's a sure thing..................
most of those high-PRICED watches using cheapo auto movements from ETA anyway...............
