The wait continues!

For example, the 399 & 398 was from last year SIHH. After ONE year its not yet in the market!!.

So don't excepct to see pics of the new Pam's on SiHH 2013 and you wanna see them in the market on next day!!!.

That your source was accurate? Yes & no (see my recent post, reprinted below).

But the real winner is the 364... 2500M!!!
...
How many "true" submersibles (1000M+) has Panerai made... <10? How many with a rating of 2500M... 2? I think the 364 is the winner here...

Just didn't appreciate the skepticism in your tone in reference to my initial post.
Whether you like these releases or not - no skin off my back, every year there will be models that sing to some, but are loathed by others. If we all liked the same thing - this would be a very boring place, plus we all would be lining up for the same stuff.

I don't know why asking you to cite your source ("Panerai VIP interviewed on Hodinkee" / "I'm in the business" / "my friend's in the business", etc) should offend you, but at least now I know you have your sources and it will make for a good heads up in all future activities in the business

No skin off your back, no skin off my nose

Not what you asked, but how. The mere fact that you challenged me to cite my sources indicated that my word alone isn't good enough in your opinion. Since I gave you no prior reason to mistrust me, this is not the right way to approach strangers. And no matter how you spin it, there are skeptical undertones.

'Offended' isn't the term, but expect a response if my word is doubted.

That's just silly. It most definitely IS the right way to approach strangers.
Why would you blindly trust the word of someone on the Internet? You're taking someone's normal (and completely justified) skepticism and taking it personally, like he's questioning your honesty or integrity. He doesn't know you, so it's not personal.

We'll agree to disagree. I really don't feel like wasting energy on people whom I have nothing to prove to.

I'd prefer to end this on a positive note, gentlemen and as I noted above, I'm happy to have discovered a new (to me) source of insider info

Now, what do you all say we get back to our love / hate relationship with OP's 2013 offerings
