Officine Panerai

Enclosed some comparison shoots taken by one of the founder : bart_olomeo . They are a bit better for what you are looking for as they are without straps. Credit : bart_olomeo ...  

The design is more balanced, less bulkier . Therefore easier to wear and to use it as an daily rocker. The fiddy is still kind of outstanding in its unique look. I prefer the big hands of the fiddy. The dial of the 1080 various depending of the strap : gr...  

I like it better than the 127.

I love Both. Currently in the honeymoon though. Then 1080 will be for me for sure the better daily rocker. And the whole story behind it makes it more special for me😊don’t think I will ever sell it 😊

Just love the fiddy, a classic. Also, agree about the hour hand...

I prefer the longer hour's hand of the Fiddie, for instance but I'm sure that the bigger crown, makes winding the 1080 an easier task. Because of the smaller crown, I've always found winding the Fiddie and the 217 a bit of a chore. The absence of the 1950... 

It appears that the 1080 has slightly smaller seconds display; maybe just an optical illusion due to perspective. The longer hour and minute hands do look nice on the 127. Is the 1080 have a brushed titanium case? Thanks

A pretty balanced look. It’s a brushed case. No titanium .

Yes, the winding of the 1080 is for sure easier than of the Fiddy. You can say that the fiddy is true old timer in terms of look and feel 😊
