One could reasonably equate the Paneristi, the
dedicated community of Panerai fans, with

on the Paneristi.com forum this summer and almost immediately
sold out. More importantly, the watch was hailed as an important
step in bringing Panerai and its most dedicated followers just a little closer
together.
