Settling back into Panerai!
It's been some time since I've had a Panerai in the stable, now over the course of two weeks I have two! The first piece I acquired is the 438. I've always loved the look of the fully blacked out case and bracelet, and being constructed from ceramic, will hold its finish and look great for a long time to come! Fast forward to today, the most recent acquisition, the 368! This piece blew me away when I first held it in my hands! 8 day manual wind lefty, with PR indicator on the back and the brown dial with gold hands really sets this model off. The strap it came on is thick and rugged, yet soft and form fitting. Very comfortable, and along with the titanium case makes this a very wearable piece. The 368 is rapidly becoming my favorite Panerai! The domed sapphire is beautiful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OEM kevlar dive strap
Just got a 305 and I tried on the second strap that comes with it (the kevlar strap with the friction buckle). The strap seems really long (which I guess makes sense if you are wearing it over a wet suit). At first I thought it was going to be a cool alternative strap...but I can't imagine I'll use this strap for day-to-day usage. Does anyone use this aside from when diving?

Idea for Rolex business model
Tell me what you think of this idea. As a generalization, it seems like Rolex produces less SS sport (e.g. daytona, sub, GMT, skydweller, etc.) than are in demand and more PM sport subs and GMTs than are in demand. I'm an engineer and we talk a lot about push vs pull systems. Why doesn't Rolex take specific models and only produce what is ordered and paid for in advance? No more, no less. It seems like this would dry up the gray market because why would I pay Joe Shmoe more than retail for a ceramic daytona when I can just order one from Rolex, even if I still had to wait 6 months? They could still keep boutiques with DJ, DD, and a few others. Rolex's team has to be way smarter than me, doesn't this make sense?
