My longtime friend is a member of the press within the timepiece industry (Financial Times, various magazines, etc) and he tried helping me to find out about the 9010 'Evolution' movement and Panerai refused to give him information. So it really is Richemonth's Panerai division that is refusing to provide details. Perhaps more journalists should report on that problem.

... but I would think and expect Hodinkee to tell me the intricate truth, eff no and ablogtowatch is a giant joke, I’ve heard so much outright wrong information from those clowns it’s hard to realistic think they even care about horology.

And that's... you know.

It seems credibility and Panerai have a history of deception. If we remove emotion, there are legal problems too.

Perhaps the best course of action is to contact all members of the press you know / can email / call. We need to see reports within the Financial Times, New York Times, CNBC, Bloomberg, etc about Richemont's problems with their Panerai brand and their purposeful misleading (or outright refusal of details) concerning their products. Am sure the financial audience wants to know how their stock might perform under such circumstances as legal problems, perhaps even a Class Action Lawsuit, might be on the company's horizon.
