There may be no more Ferrari watches by Panerai...

According to a very reliable source from Richemont...

I do believe that the contract they had with Panerai has been terminated. It was a unique niche they had for those pieces anyway.

I had herd that too. I believe that there are some good deals going on the Ferrari watches from ADs if you want one as they may be trying to offload them.

Yeah, it's my understanding some monster deals are out there if you want them.

I read somewhere on the internet that Ferrari tried with other watch manufacturers and they all fell flat on their face. And that Panerai figured that most Ferrari owners, while obviously have spare cash, would buy a watch to match their cars. Exactly the opposite happened. Most Panerai for Ferrari owners were non Ferrari car owners.

Furthermore, most Ferrari owners buy much more expensive and exclusive pieces.

Go figure. I love the watches and think they look beautiful. But, I'm afraid that I won't be able to unload it in the future should I want to.

I don't like the whole car motif with watches,

panerai....ferrari
Breitling...Bently

my guess is that if you own either of those cars, its a Patek..........

Casio = Daewoo
Seiko = Honda
Citizen = Toyota
etc...

Fake Rolex = Chinese Geely Car
Grand father clock = US made Hummer... big bulky and waste of space

If the Ferrari PAMs didn't have "Ferrari" on the dial I'd own one. I, for one, love the case shape and some of the designs. I just can't get over the cheesy branding.

I'm with you. You described what I TRIED to say in an earlier post. Love the watch but can't get over the kitsch Ferrari logo and the resale aspect.

I am just wondering whether the discontinuation would make it even more collectible? On the other hand, would Panerai continue to service it?

Not a chance. There's no demand for them at 75% off new.

X2

Wish it said Panerai on the top and maybe the Ferrari logo on the bottom would be nicer. I would have got one.

IMHO, the F badge does not go well with the understated Panerais.
