In comparison to the rolex forum?

eric23 · 5 October 2011, 06:57 AM

It is busy sometimes, I guess everyone has to work today:)

karmatp · 5 October 2011, 08:21 AM

It is a Rolex forum after all. Seems natural to me that a sub forum for another brand would be slower.

nauticajoe · 5 October 2011, 08:22 AM

Probably because the majority of folks here are Rolex fans?

The presume the hardcore risti fans are in the 'other' forum?

dddrees · 5 October 2011, 09:39 AM

It has been slower than normal, but with any luck it'll pick up again soon.

esm · 5 October 2011, 09:41 AM

Umm.... Last time I checked it... The web addy for this forum is still www.Rolexforums.com...... NOT www.RolexandPaneraiforums.com

Rolex Junky · 5 October 2011, 09:44 AM

We will get back to you right afther the global recession.

p.com seems to have a pretty big international following...

to be frank - in addition to the terrible format, i also find the content there quite lacking (though topics are buried fairly quickly due to the poor message board layout). there are far too many birthday posts, GTG posts, off topic, etc for me personally. i also don't understand why it's so highly moderated even though it's not an 'official' Panerai site - you can't discuss pricing and god forbid if you mention a strapmaker by name.

much prefer the TRF community

Other than recession, I think that's also due to the fact that we haven't been witnessing much new shipments other than the 390 lately... now everyone's just waiting for the rest of the 2011 models to be shipped.

BKKJake · 5 October 2011, 08:53 PM

Since it's dead....I got a question.

Does anyone know if they sell any Panerai watches in the Dubai airport? I didn't feel the need to start a thread about it.

Everyone is waiting for calls. Me included.

Cru Jones · 6 October 2011, 01:06 AM

there's just a lot more rolex owners out there, and this isn't the most "popular" PAM site (though i only choose to post here for reasons hinted above).....

i dunno, i think it's a pretty active sub-forum with a pretty loyal and welcoming crew.

then again, i've only been checking this sub-forum for about six months, so, maybe it was busier before? is that your point?

the bronzo just hit and the 372 will hit late Oct/early November..
the 390s are trickling out as I type...

but I think its a pretty busy sub-forum and remember our very own Anthony broke the 390 story!

skywag · 6 October 2011, 01:56 AM

It is a Rolex forum. There is nothing to like about a Panerai. I'd much rather have a Fortis, Omega, Zenith.

B. Doggy · 6 October 2011, 02:31 AM

Lots of lurkers!

I agree, it still is the best Panerai forum but there is also too much bullshit
they should talk more about panerai
I don't care who's birthday it is
too many off topic

That's the sad part.........its the most important Panerai forum and they rarely talk about watches. They deal with so much unrelated watch stuff, its simply unbearable. Any negative post about Panerai, is quickly removed........no room for discussion (unless of course its positive) for people to express their thoughts and feelings. Terrible page setup as well.

Although the TRF sub-forum watches itsn't the biggest, it just might be the best!!!!!!

MNDZA · 6 October 2011, 04:48 AM

It's because we're too busy enjoying our watches to type here.

I've called and they are annoyed with me. I guess I'm just a mid-west chump to them.

I hear you. I just need to stop reading the negativity on other forums.

When you'll be a constant pain in the .......bottom, they' ll do anything to get rid of you. And you'll be happy with your 390
