My thoughts...

This watch is really interesting, indeed, because..

1º - It don´t has a magnifying bubble for the date... Well done... I don´t like this bubble in Pam models, it always disturbs me.

2º - The movement has 3 days power reserve. This movement, I think, is located between ETA´s and "Pam P200x Calibers". The strategy, for me, is really good.

3º - The 1950 case is a really good choice. It´s like a "mix" case, with the strong look of Luminor Cases and the sexy look of Radiomir Cases.

4º - The choice of Ti for made the case is good... this 47 mm would be difficult to wear in SS.

5º - The water resistant of 300 m is like it must be.

But, some things disturb me:

1º - The kind of indexes, this combo choice, disturb me a lot. And the origins of this mixed dial are no well choiced for me... The use of round and rectangular figures is a bit disturbing.... but, not bad at all seeing the watch by a general point of view, but I´d prefer "normal 3,6,9,12 Pam indexes".

2º - I´d prefer a solid case back... the finish of this movement is normal and I think that it´s not a "work of art" to show. The movement is hard, simple and tough, like it must be, but I´d prefer a solid case back (IMO).

But, in general, this 305 Sub is one of the most interesting watches made by Panerai this year.

Thanks for your post Nicolas.
