I've noticed something over the years: no matter where a collector ends up, Rolex, Patek, independents, vintage, or high horology, a surprising number of us seem to have owned a Panerai at some point.

It got me wondering...

What percentage of FTWC members currently own a Panerai, or have owned one in the past?

Why do you think Panerai has become almost a rite of passage for so many collectors?

What do you think draws collectors in?

• Military heritage?
• Iconic design?
• Endless strap combinations?
• The Paneristi community?
• Entry Level pricing?
• Or is it simply one of those brands that almost every collector experiences at some point?

Post your Panerai wrist shot!

Current owners, former owners, or even an old favorite you've since sold, everyone's welcome.

I'm curious to see just how many Panerai have passed through FTWC over the years.

I have a feeling the percentage is much higher than we think. Let's find out.
