I will make it short, this is a BOMB.

This is THE watch I was looking for, from Panerai.

First the case, which is sublime ( 47 mm ). Big? Well, not for every wrist, but this is a Panerai, and a Panerai, by essence, is a big Watch.

Then the dial, sober, class, powerful.

And the movement, the P 3000... 3 Days power reserve is much better than the Rolex Cortebert.

The Cons?

The see through case back. I would have preferred a solid one. Much more oherent with this kind of Watch, but I can live with!

The Marina Militare Name... Not sure that the Italian Navy authorized Panerai to do so. I would have preferred without.

The fact that this watch is limited to 1000 pièces. An unlimited edition would have been better, we would have avoided the flippers.

BUT....

The case is in stainless steel, and as we have a Panerai movement, we can guess and hope that the price will be " reasonnable " or, at least, much more affordable.

Here are the two press file pictures I just received.

Needless to say that I can't wait to see it in the flesh. Just to confirm the good feeling I have.

What's your opinion on this one?

Best,

Nicolas.
