Thank you so much dear Captain!! My favorite is the new Pam 05218. The "Marina Militare" inscription on a Panerai dial makes my heart beat very fast always! ;)
.this was my pair, a while back. The one of the left (004Pre-A in a 6500case) has gone by now. I've always preferred the 009. You will also notice that my picture, compared to yours....it's a horror show Lolllllll Ciao bello
Hello dear friend Sergio! Thanks a lot for sharing these two beauties. The black cases add an interesting touch to these watches. Both are now true classics from the brand.

Thank you for your compliment on my picture! Lol! A big hug for you my dear Sergio!
Thank you so much John for your compliment. It is an effect of light used for the picture. Actually the new Marina Militare is darker black due to the different type of coating (DLC) ...

... while the Black Seal looks a touch lighter (e.g. more like "gun metal" or charcoal black) (PVD coating).
Thank you John! Yes, I can understand. It depends of lightning if natural sunlight or indoors artificial light source. Not easy for me to capture true colors in my shots.
