It has been a while since the release of the Luminor Due "slim" line and I don't recall having seen one in here. It seems this new line hasn't really "lured" anyone of us. I am an old purist and the idea of buying a Panerai smaller that 44mm or with Automatic written on the dial has NEVER crossed my mind but I thought I was an..exception.. LOL

Not unexpected
I think most Panerai enthusiasts who spend time on forums like this are traditionalists, which is why we tend to primarily see the 'historic' watches like the 372, 587, 000, etc with great regularity. The Due line likely appeals to the first-time Panerai ...
AD info
My AD, good friend, so no bullshit info, told me the Due is going great, but to a new audience, men and women, that love the design and the small/thin profile. I guess Panerai is right in widdening its customer offerings as a brand can off course never su...
As a matter of facts...
what you just wrote, goes right along with my first impression. I was in Florence for the launch of the new product. In fact I tried the one of Dr Bonati had on his wrist (I exchanged it with my 604) and found it rather handsome. I was pretty sure that al...

You're also confirming my predictions....
If and when they'll get a 45/47mm, with manual winding movement, I'll buy one in a New York minute
Ciao Sergio!! They already offer the 45mm but with an automatic movement which you don´t like of course. I´m almost sure they will offer the manual movement in 45 mm too, but ...
... I´m not so sure they will offer a Due in 47 mm as they are playing with the offering of a smaller sized watch. I hope you´ll find a suitable Due soon! Ciao and a nice week end my friend! Abel.
