The watch is a silk baby in reality! I sure that you will love it as much as I will love mine! I actually quite dislike the colour brown, but this 339 is soooo sexy that im not really "seeing" it as a brown!
If you are early on your side of the list, you might be elated, but those further down may be very disappointed and yes you understood correctly by what I implied. Those will come with "Radiomir" instead. And while this will NEVER apply to me as i never ever sell any of my watches, i can imagine when those with "Marina Militare" gets into flipper's hands. You can imagine the war has already started.
As for why Panerai took the watch of the site... well it has to do with the fact that the Regia Marina does NOT ALLOW Panerai to use the term "Marina Militare" anymore, so they are not allowed to "advertise" it since the homepage is a channel for advertising the brand and it's products.
Cheers and hope you get yours, with the "correct" inscription soon!
