The Cali dial of the PAM448 isn't my cup of tea and I feel I would get bored of the dial real quickly after the novelty wears off. On the other hand, the PAM449 dial is a looker IMO.
Also, I feel the Cali dials have been overused by Panerai, especially with the new Cali dial w/ OP logo. Cali dials don't seem "special" to me anymore.
Now with the PAM449 SLC dial, we won't know if Panerai will do the same thing with this dial, but I think they probably will over time.
Below are videos of the PAM448 and PAM449 to help you make your decision easier
Cheers,
Anthony
