Hey, guys, noob here, Bryan is my name :) I've been perusing, and reading this site for a few years, finally just joined. Don't own a ton of watches, they are basically way down on my personal "hobby" list (i'm heavy into muscle cars, vintage comic books, and 45mm Knights and Castle collectibles) but do greatly enjoy timepieces, and those that I do personally own. I simply love passion, and knowledge, relating to ANY collecting hobby, and find these boards quite informative. So, regards, Merry Christmas, & Happy Holidays to all....cheersBp.s.sorry if this was not posted in the proper forum? I could not find any info as to where i should?

Has the Panerai bubble burst?
In the last few years Panerai has grown from a cult brand to a mainstream one and now produces so many models and variations, even a hardcore collector and enthusiast such as myself cannot even keep up. I love the little details that Panerai has done from year to year and liked how they produced limited numbers of pieces which were all rather unique in their own right (Panerai 127, 232, 249, 36 etc to name a few). These pieces were sought after because of its availability but also its unique look and history.Fast forward to today and many of the guys I know that used to have every Panerai under the sun including all the different variations have started to dump their collection as too many models started looking alike and Panerai didn't seem to stick to their core models, designs and heritage. When a limited production isn't a limited production anymore is also pretty disturbing for most of the collectors I know, see 448, 424 and 249, 382 and 507. While these are not the same, these we

too good to pass up?
So, I am killing time in Shreve today waiting for a watch to be pressure tested a few stores over...I'm wearing my 372 and I ask to try on a couple of watches including a PAM 25...the salesman (also sporting a 25) says, hold on, I've got a great deal for you. Knowing Shreve doesn't negotiate I have my doubts...but he walks back with a brand new (though M series) 305 and says that they are offering the watch at 30% off. I was flabbergasted...what do you think? Buy it?
