Hello Ted! I fell in love with the color and texture of this dial. I was offered one from a Boutique mid of last year and to my regret I had to refuse it because I had just bought another Pam ...
... a few days before.
Then at ends of 2021 I called my friendly Boutique asking for a 1075 and I was told that it was completely sold out as it was a Limited edition of just 500 watches. Fortunately I sourced one from a private seller, full set with all boxes papers, etc. never worn and at a little above the original retail price.
As our friend Sergio well says with any Panerai it is a matter of liking you buy/not liking no buying the different models. I would add in this case: you not only have to consider if you like the dial but also the fact it is a Destro.
I own other Destros in my collection and in spite of being right handed and usually wearing my watches on my left wrist, I can wear my Destros both on my left or on my right wrist with no problem.
Being right handed I also find a little awkward to set the time or winding in these watches in contrast to conventional watches but it is not a big deal for me. I feel you should consider this detail if you have never worn a Destro before.
Otherwise I feel is a stunning watch I like so much.
Cheers! Abel

That’s a piece that elicited some mixed opinions when it first came out…
but I was a fan, and remain so. That’s an awesome strap…is it yours?
I have looked at this one ….
and had it on my wrist. I like the dial finish and the texture that gives it a special charm. Our friend Subexplorer, Abel has one. If you like it go for it !
My "thoughts"....
on any modern Panerai are all the same: you like, you buy it. You don't like it, you don't This model leaves me completely indifferent.

Thanks so much!
I really find it unique, unfortunately can’t see in person given sold out a while back, as you mentioned. Giving it some serious thought though. What was the Panerai you purchased just before this one?
My pleasure Ted! Yes, it is a unique piece I agree.
I understand it’s not easy to buy a watch without viewing it in the metal. But I fell in love with it at first sight and took the plunge. The watch I bought just a few days before was a Pam 1074 Bronzo 42mm. Best cordial regards Abel
