However after wearing one i really appreciated the brand much more and i still do. It's so much more than just a watch with a Unitas movement. The quality is absolutely great and the design is unique, so it all comes down to whether you like it or not.

However, I just do not get people's love for Panerai. So much money for a big, bland, boxy watch. Obviously I'm missing something !

The demand for manual has greatly increased IMO. Prior to Panerai's success with the Zero, 05, 111, & 112 manual seemed to be more much more common in the "elite" watch market. It would be nice to have a Zero one day, simplicity is bliss! I agree, I too think that Panerai helped put the 6497 back on the map so to speak and manual movements in general.
