Mr. Fuego:

I do like your Panerai . . . a lot. It's just that I do not like these new models . . . at all. Is there any watch in the brands heritage / "DNA" that has any elements of the new version?

There's a gold rush / land grab going on in the watch world -- brands make as many watches as they can, with as many (crazy) looks as they can, as expensive as they can, and people with too much money will buy a lot of them.

: because they gained popularity due to Sly's nod to the brand.

: Let the haters hate - I'll add another PAM or two to my collection.
