No point sending it to Panerai

It has a Unitas calibre inside. Any watchmaker can service it and regulate it back to chronometric precision. Who would waste their money sending it to Panerai?

Fresh from a service as it was overbanked

And the bezel got a polish too. Strap by Panerai.

Just curious

Did you get it serviced at Panerai, curious whats their policy with T dials, last time I checked it was new dial and hands.

Like the crown or crown tube may not be available from a traditional watchmaker, although regular service is not a problem as you rightly point out. My sub crown was wobbling excessively when I got it, panerai was the only option especially for a dive wat... 

You have to be careful....

when sending a T dialled model to Panerai, for service. They would probably substitute the dial with a Luminova one, since Tritium is a no-no material, these days. Before you even consider sending it, make sure you obtain IN WRITING the assurance that the...

..my very first T-dialled Panerai was a 22B, which I bought in Hong Kong, eons ago already. Enjoy it

Is a lot rarer. If it was a full box set, you should have kept it. Some say only around 50 22Bs copped a tritium dial and apparently the 22A didn't sell out either. I've heard that 140 22As left the skunkworks despite the caseback indicating a planned run... 

I just didn't like it enough....

the financial consideration never interested me much As a matter of fact I had both a 22BT and a 22BL, since I had decided to collect all the "destros" available at the time I gave away (for a song and a dance) also a 26BT. My intention was to buy A model...  

That's a pity

That was a good thematic collection

Love the look of 44 mm destro. T dial is just fantastic

Unfortunately currently my wallet does not support desire to add T dial into collection !
