A quick trip to Dublin to collect my Panerai PAM05218
and while I know the vast majority of people are loving this release, for me the jury is still out, the older references have more charm. I think it's the sapphire glass, on the new version it is just "flat" whereas for example on my 09 there is more depth, distortion, more character.

I think I know what you mean
about the Sapphire crystal. I went to try on a Tudor Pelagos and I coulda sworn there was NO crystal on those watches. No reflections, no distortion, no raised edge...nothing. It was kinda weird.
Congrats to this acquisition !.. Also superb wrist shots !
Also liked your combo with the shark strap ‼️ Wear it in good health and Cheers ! 😊
