I like that... "don't know an escapement from a bar of soap."

Yeah, your right about every fashion bug climbing onboard... still, I guess even these clowns know a great looking watch when they see one. And later, when the rage passes (...if it does), there will always be the core supporters,
the Paneristi... those who have loved this watch from early on.

I also notice the "prose" is different now. I believe the writer has changed, but is trying to continue the "snob" attitude. Not as "biting" in its disdain for ignorant "watch knobs."

The PAM is 100% accurate.

Never ... never ... a Rolex but with all the fame that has going to have the accuracy of a Panerai. I have a 111 for 8 months and from the first day was 100% accurate.

well...? he is the watch snob, isn't he???

for what its worth, its an entertaining read when taken with a grain of salt and there's been some watch snob write ups that i tend to agree with. the panerai rant wasn't one of them however.
