I am back from my trip to Italy.Maybe I will post some pictures later on.Besides Rome, Perugia, Siena, the Trasimeno lake I visitted Florence.And ofcourse, the Panerai boutique.The salesperson gave a tour in the small Panerai Museum they have some floors up and it was marvelous.Didnt take pictures of it though, as I have seen loads of these on other websites (Paneristi.com).I wonder what is up with the Italians when it comes to watches.I just saw 1 Panerai in the wilde, in Rome.Just 1.Couldnt make up what it was because I saw in in a flash on someones wrist.It was just Rolex all over.I wonder how many of them were real, because even the guy serving ice cream on the campsite wore a Daytona ?? Anyway, it seems that Rolex is still King in Italy.Also in Rome, I havent see one shop where they sold Panerai.I didnt look for them in particulary, and only took a long time to check out all the watches at Hausmann at the Via del Corso in Rome, but I expected to see a lot more Panerai in Italy.As I expected to see more Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia cars.Well, I have seen quite a few of them, but as they choose Rolex for watches, Italy seems to choose for Germany when it comes to cars.Audi/BMW and Benz on the autostrada.How come? Status over passion?I wonder..
