Panerai Luminor 1950 Regatta 3 Days Chrono Flyback Automatic Titanio Watch
Panerai is an often polarizing brand that has, in recent years, seen a massive spike in popularity and has become a somewhat household name in men's luxury wrist watches. Now, often included in the brands that your non-watchnerd friends are aware of, they hold rank in upscale jewellery boutiques alongside Breitling and Rolex. Personally, I have loved the Panerai Radiomir as long as I have loved watches, but both the price and the case size has often been too much for my reality. While SIHH saw quite a few new models from Panerai, none were as intriguing to me as the Luminor 1950 Regatta 3 Days Chrono Flyback Automatic Titanio (PAM00526).That's a rather long name, so we'll stick with Regatta 3 Days.

More Omega boutique openings
You may have heard that Omega is expanding their boutiques worldwide. One opened in a upscale mall a few months ago and I was invited to their grand opening. Got to know a well trained associate and drooled over their watches on display.As I was chatting with my favorite associate, she mentioned that with all of the boutiques opening in the US, people have been sending their watches in for servicing instead of going to their ADs. She indicated that with the sudden influx of watches in for repairs and/or servicing, their NJ service center has stopped taking into new requests as they are backlogged and want to ensure their quaility control is not taking a back seat in the haste of turning requests around quicker.Not sure what's everyone's thoughts on the boutique model and its effect on the AD channel especially family owned businesses. One thing for sure, the ability to negotiate a discount in a boutique will be near impossible.
