for me the 498 :-)
Would like to have both ofcourse but if I should pick one, it would be the 498
Probably because I don't have a 1950 
But also for the movement, nothing wrong with an ETA but when possible I'll take an inhouse movement.
This makes me wonder ... is there 44 mm luminor case with an inhouse ? I'm not sure but I think they're all ETA based. So that raises the question ,When will Panerai make an inhouse for the 44 mm Luminor and when will they stop using ETA movements ?
