The original was executed in Stainless steel. Which makes the re-edition actually even TOUGHER AND BETTER than the original! I trust the movement in this one, and the material! Omg to die for! Cheers Stephen

looks to be stunning in the press photos

in the evolution of case and sizes: Let's face it, with in-house P2002 movement at list of EUR19k, a run of 300 pieces is probably far from enough to recoup the tooling cost of the case. If this turns out to ge a huge seller, I won't be surprised to see f... 

are they not? to me this has always been the disconnect with the historic models i suppose they could be worn over a business suit just as easily?=)

Saw some wristshots on another forum. Hilariously large. I've got a depth guage that is smaller! One question for the Experts: this has a caseback attached via screws, what did the original have?

The original also had a caseback attached via screws, in fact the same 6 screws in virtually about the same exact positions! See how close this reproduction really is! Have a g'day mate! Stephen

Thanks for that info. I haven't seen any caseback shots of the original. So are you guys doing weights so your arms can support this watch? Or is that why they made it in Ti?

The only major difference between the original and this re-edition is that between the space that says Officine Panerai and Firenze it is blank on the original, while this one has the miale engraved. Well well, for me i'm asian and pretty slim, and NO i'm... 

I definitely understand why you Panerai fans like this piece, it's just amusing as an actual wristwatch. The reason I asked about the caseback is that I cannot fathom why Panerai (or anyone, for that matter) use display backs on a so-called Tool watch. Ju... 

In the olden days , when they wanted to show off the movements used in their timepieces, they had to make it a see-through caseback in order to appeal to the buyers, in this case the Royal Italian Navy. But once approved for production, the actual product...  

That's pretty faithful. Pity about the mini-sub, didn't think the Egyptian navy used them! Interesting that these were originally commissioned (I think) in 1956. So the start of the Suez Crisis. What did the Nacy use them for, sinking ships to block the h... 

Maybe not for other brands, but Panerai did a few exibition for the Marina Militare and their prototype for demonstration really did have it! If you manage to buy a Panny and it comes with the book "Panerai Historia from the depths of the sea" by Giampeir... 

If I'm thinking of the same picture, I always thought that display-back was a later addition - mainly due to the font and writing on the caseback bezel. No fingers meant to be pointed. Always happy to find out new things.

It may be difficult but good luck! Cheers Stephen
