I like both of those, the Carbotech is sweet!
I realize Panerai purist want a 44mm watch but my tiny wrist , says No.
Both are quite good looking, making it hard to choose one by seeing pics alone.
Your seeing in person on the wrist, which one appealed more to you? At a glance, I think that I prefer to SS.
Both are great looking watches! If I had to chose one, probably the carbon version based on the photos.
Thanks for sharing these new releases.
I like the steel…
Step in the right direction for the brand, but, the pricing, not so sure…
