Panerai are never going to be cheap, which is a shame, as i said earlier, it is getting to the level where the normal guy who likes watches can't afford, or even dream to spend the money that Panerai/Rolex/JLC/AP/etc want for a watch these days.
I look with interest at the 'Limited' stuff for all these makers, this has reached the point where only the rich can play, same with vintage rolexes, the good stuff is no longer within reach of 99% of the population.
But saying that, i seriously doubt the market will collapse, so it's just a case of saving up for a long time to get a watch :(
