Maybe it should have been a Radiomir 1940 Due? [nt]

Maybe! But honestly, it is not a problem nowadays to make a watch waterproof to 100m. That would habe been enough...
Panerai was always about dive watches. It is the essence of Panerai. So in my opinion the crown guard is well chosen for the DUE - but please with a sensible water resistance ... 🤷🏼♂️😉
I’m not sure they are unloved
Just less respected by the vocal community on the forums that care about certain details about what supposedly “makes Panerai a Panerai”. We tend to forget your average guy just wants a beautiful watch that functions well while at work, or relaxing at hom...

it has been created for..Happy Hour..divers. Want a real diving device, they produce...plenty...of them in the Submersible line.
You know that, in principle....
I'm with you. I have the feeling, though, that a 47mm could threaten the..user friendly, non brutish, "mundane" Luminor Due image. But that's only my opinion, to be sure.
30m is still nearly 100ft I believe....
Yes I realize that there seems to be information out there that states that 30 m is only safe for a splash here or there etc, however I don’t agree that it’s the case. I read recently a post somewhere that actually tests the water pressure levels against ...
