I prefer the old version
Thanks for the photos, Stere. I really like the polished rings around the time sub-dials on the original. The markings for the 30-minute counter are a bit more elegant on the new version though. Contrary to Nicolas's view, I believe the new dial is less balanced--the 30-minute totalizer and the date window are too close to the time indication, leaving too much negative space between them and the right side of the case and skewing everything to the left. Overall, I prefer the old one. Which is a good thing, since I am in the process of purchasing one (although I consider myself open-minded enough not to be biased).

PanoGraph old vs. new
As I promised you, I've found on my HD two Pictures withe the direct comparison of both PanoGraphs: And now the backside: As you can see ...the backside is nearly the same. Have a great weekend! stere...
Thanks for these comparative pictures, Stere.
That helps us a lot to get the evolutions on this original Chrono. The dial on the latest seems to be more balanced, but the former has a lot of charm. Difficult to say which one I prefer... I think I will need time to think about it. A real experience ma...

It's funny..
I'm still not sure whether I prefer the old-style Pano's with the thicker bezel ring - it looks a bit more rugged and purposeful. Since I'm in the market for one, I need to make my mind up pretty quick if I'm going to get an outgoing model!
IMHO
So did I love the new one but I will wait for the SS version. But the new PanoInverse isn't that great as the old one because of the space outside the balance bridge.
Some good, some bad...
I probably posted something similar before. If so, bear with me. I am unsure of which version I prefer - this is both good and bad news. In a positive light, as a current owner, this means that I would be a potential customer if I did not own the old vers...
I think the new version looks a little cleaner.......
but I've never been a fan of the Chrono counter for some reason. It just never looked right on the dial to me, its a cool function though. Tony
