Their relationship has ended...

After reading a thread about the Mercedes watch, I've wondered how the relationship with these 2 italian brands were headed...
and this is what I found. Thought I'd share it with the forum.

maybe an old story but new to me btw....

Can't say that I am heartbroken.

I have never been a fan of car branded watches, but that's just me.

If I remember correctly, the Ferrari models had some of the worst resale value within the Panerai line.

dang... I just noticed the article is over three years old.

It was news to me too though, did not know until now that the relationship was over.

[erwin]

same here. was never a fan of car brand watches either...but man, they'd love a thread like this on ooops..j/k!

wondering if you could source one dirt cheap then get a hold of a genuine Panerai dial.

Are the cases interchangeable? I do not know enough about the Ferrari branded watches since I never cared for them.

I am with Chip on this not a fan, however now that they are no longer..... the value will increase, everybody will want one and they will be extremely hard to find....

Thanks Chip I was only kidding I wouldn't touch a Yugo watch with a 10 foot pole.
