I dare say this is 'second to none', however, if I have to choose among the Mare 6, 7, 8, and the 301/A...I have to pick the 301/A....the root of the Panerai Chrono!!
Jeremy, as you said earlier, the Mare 7 came out in less number of production and it is my most favorite Vendome Panerai Chrono. Never seen this watch in person but it's drawn my attention right after I first saw the pic!
Cheers
