Okay, this is supposed to be a true modern dive watch.
There should be luminous plots every 5 minutes to meet ISO standards. Heck, Seiko is now tacking plots to the right of their date windows to comply.
If you consider that Panerai....

I still have it....
as a matter of fact, even though, I've been asked to sell it once and refused to do it. B U T I bought it O N L Y because I was collecting...lefties...not because I liked it or I like it or I've ever liked it. On its own merit, I wouldn't have bought it a...
