I think I need to try a 42mm... in all fairness I never tried one of their 42mm and it’s a size I love in other watches....
No message body
Not a fan of the label “esteel” on the dial of the new Panerai product line!

I agree to an extent....
materials, material, material, research, no Planet B. bla, bla, bla
The theme of this year's presentation...
is Eco sustainability. Mr Pontrue's address was all about preserving the eco system, oceans, eco sustainable materials as results of recycling. That being said, the ESTEEL on the dial, doesn't phase me anymore than everything else they have slapped on it,...
New models
Will take a pass on the “eSteel” logo, but also any of these new gradient and sun burst/brushed type dials they seem to be leaning towards. Think matte dials look much better. Some of the other releases look quite nice however
In general, I don't care for bronze and...
I purchased an inexpensive one as an experiment and found that I really don't care for the case material. Paying that much [Panerai] money for a watch that will develop a patina that is neither interesting nor attractive to me is not my cup of java. ...

Watching the "morning show"....
replay, earlier on (I don't wake up at 7am), I've learned a new expression: beach to tuxedo. That is the transition that some of the brands (Tag in the specific case) are trying to achieve. Same watch from the surfboard to the grand soiree at a chateau
Yes but that....
grimy "lump of bronze" you have on your wrist, wouldn't be "proper", in a...gala soiree :P lolllllllllllllllll

From Panerai's website: The future is in our hands. Panerai forges ahead with circular design, thanks to our cutting-edge eSteel. Both the case and dial of Luminor Marina eSteel feature a new recycled steel alloy. Developed in collaboration with a selecti...
