Applied indices and center seconds in a 42mm case are design elements that are not a favorite to the Panerai purist. I thought the GP triple bridge was wild variant.
The need the have a small seconds at 9 drove too many decisions. Richemont should have explored that Panerai/Minerva relationship more. Imagine a simple 2 hander with a curvy Minerva pocket watch movement in a Luminor or Radiomir case! Pure lust. -John
