Elements of history

Congratulations on the piece. When I picked mine up, what I found was that the 992 includes many of the elements I enjoy from Panerai, even though it never existed. The sandwich dial, blued hands, brevettato stamp, 8 day manual wind and bead blasted case feel like they came from another era. What it lacks in perfect historical accuracy it makes up in harmony and good old fashioned fun. Plus it goes well on rubber so I can wear it in the ocean or on the motorbike. Here it was doing an offroad tour with BMW. Enjoy yours in good spirits!

the keyword for me is harmony — the piece is designed very carefully, balanced and with the Italian sensibility! Also, the finish is very special —
Great shot

It really doesn't matter if this exact configuration existed before...because it exists now for our enjoyment... ...the Rolex Explorer of today also didn't exist when Hillary and and Norgay summited Mount Everest.
I really like this ref

I had a lot of hesitations between this one and the venti, but finally chose the venti ... Wear it in good health 👍🏼
