Damn good looking designs, though...

Good post and I agree with your perception of Panerai (I personally don't care for the look, although I know they are currently rivalling Rolex for maintaining value).
But speaking of Rolex, they are one of the world's most iconic and valuable brands. However, solely speaking in terms of performance/quality/reliability , as a time piece, they are quite mediocre.
Just goes to show you what stellar marketing and brand development means in the retail world (cough, cough....BMW).
