I was lucky to be able to order one new in London back in 2003. I just fell in love with it as soon as it was announced. I had a deposit down but did not pull the trigger: too big for me. An Aquanaut jumbo won my heart instead in that year. Congrats, this...
For the rest of us, sometimes it’s more like the Joker ! It will always be a defining modern Panerai for me. Just love it. (But couldn’t ever pull it off on my wrist).
