thats good. im pretty sure they dont care that much about reps and i dont think its damaging their buisness that much maybe its even supporting.
think about how many people bought a genuine after owning the reps. including me.
and i like the new bracelet, old ones were good but too big & heavy, not comfortable for everyday.design also matches the masculine look of the watch and it stays in background, just like rolex bracelets.
i must say this is a big step for panerai in the way of becoming timeless, will be going head to head with rolex very soon
