How come you dislike Panerai so much? Probably because it is a successful brand that appeals to lots of people, unlike a small tiny group of snobs who like the "exclusive" watches you so revere!

P.S. I have had my share of AP ROO's....the modular chronograph is medicore to say the least...the minute hand "jumps" as does the "second hand" when engaged.....it's a one trick pony and it does not even do its trick very well! just my opinion.
