weak points of the PP...for me
Strap/bracelet push pins
Also they are less friendly to be removed for a strap change. At lease for me.
Systems like the fast exchange system that Panerai (and other brands have) offer, or screws ( in several ways...like Panerai, AP, LW....) look like more robust to me, and more prepared to resist more time in good shape. And the are faster to be exchanged.
Good thing of this system...is that is easy and cheap to get a replacement push pin.
Fast exchange date
I say the same in other brands. Its crazy that they develop a "new in house movement"...and they don't make a fast change system for the date.
You finish advancing the hour hands....many and many times. Im sure its been studied, but I have the feeling that Im "hurting" the movement at some point.
What is the reason behind this?
A "simple" valjoux mov has this feature...and I can't understand why brands are not working on fitting this system, specially in brand new movements, like the 8500 in this case.
Just my 2cents!

weak points of the PP...for me
Strap/bracelet push pins Coming from my experience with Panerai ( I own some ), I don't like the push-pins at the lugs. The watch weights enough to provide something that offer supports in the long therm. Ive owned some other watches with this system and ...
I feel your pain regarding the lack of quick-set date function.
Omega called it timezone function or something but lately they changed to a less misleading name which I fail to remember. Their reasoning for this function is that it is great for frequent travelers as you can set the hour hand backward past midnight and...
But its not only this my friend
Agree its easier to set the hour hands like this....but date its another story independently of how much you travel. Im a frequent flyer, between different time zones, and it doesn't malke it different. This system is great if you only wear ONE watch. If ...
