Well Anthony......

I saw the 104 and an example of the brushed titanium case of the 240 and to be honest I wasn't as blown away as I had hoped I would be. So I have decided to wait till I find something that really jumps out at me.....I may well go back to them at some point but fo now I'll have to wait and see what else is coming out.

Thanks for your help,

Andy.

and as i thought the 287 and 183 won't be available till next April/May at the earliest but they might be getting a 'spare' 104 in the next month or so. I'm going in to see both styles tomorrow as I've got to the point where I have to try both styles on. ...

It makes perfect sense

and many Paneristi's do exactly the same. A Luminor for every day wear and a Radiomir such as the PAM232, 210, 183, or 287 for dressy occasions. Finding a single Panerai to get the best of both worlds is much easier if u break it down into 2 watches - 1 L...

Thanks for that quick reply......
