Panerai's luster

[hbrogers]

I just got back from Vegas (excess capital of America) and noticed that there where a lot fewer Panerais on the wrists of people than in the past. Cesar's has a boutique now, but the big T has moved the Panerai display to the back of the store. Is panerai starting to lose its luster? I know its a brand a lot of people love to bash, but though as Panerai has become more mainstream, I thought would see more. Don't get me wrong, I switched from Rolex to get away from the "hey I have the same watch" crowd. And like the exclusivity, but kind of got the feeling that Panerai was no longer desirable.
