The Breitling Watch Source Forums

it's strange, i hear all the complaints and disbelief about the popularity of panerai. but then everyday it's another thread about how he was totally blown away after putting it on and now he gets it and drinking the kool-aid etc etc. face it P was popular before with the generic movement, now that they're rolling out the different in-house stuff there's nowhere to go but up for the brand. for anyone with love for bigger watches (like breitling) get on the bandwagon while there's still room, it's inevitable anyway . handwinding isn't that bad, and i can attest their p9xxx 8-day movement is a beast and usually dead on to +/- 1-2 sec a day.

Ill admit that im not completely blown away by the brand. Part of my attraction is the hype, and the other part is the design. But without the hype, I guess they are really not that special. I love certain aspects like the crown lock and the strap change though. They are also very understated in their simplicity. Very simple, yet very interesting...but that might just be the hype talking.
