I keep wondering WHY the "Swiss" never had a real go at it. Apart from me (chronographs and I never mixed and I wasn't going to make an exception with a Panerai littler) every Panerista, or there about, seem to like it tremendously! Could it be because of the complications and an inadequate movement, compared to the main stream ones? Could it be because the Swiss wanted to peddle the early Panerai as a tool watches and the NM had too many "bells and whistles"? Could it be for a plethora or reasons I haven't even thought about? I never quite figured it out so the question still lingers inside my mind. Nice Pre-A with creamy, to die for tritium indices and killer patina
