I was quite smitten by the laureto as well as the submersible with the blue dial. What doesn’t show from the picture is the blue dial is lacquered while the black on the other Submersible is mate…
Window shopping…which do you prefer?

IWC, not a fan of submersibile...
and also not a fan of that GP model. I think the IWC 43 is fantastic and has 100mt water resistance + easy to change straps (is not so user friendly on a panerai or GP).
+1 It looks very impressive on your wrist.
I also like the other two, although these submersibles with little blue accents aren’t the favorite.
Thanks! I know it’s an eclectic group of watch but went with what was new in their shop!
I need to add to the classic dressy watch category and also one more bracelet sport/classy watch
I know the Panerai don’t fit any of these two but it was the first time I could try a submersible in the flesh and I thought they were nice to
I really love the GP, but the movement seem subpar compared to other offerings…
I never owned one so I don’t really know but would be afraid to get it and then have a 10+ sec/day watch?
What do you mean?
After all my username is chronometer! So it does play some role in my thought process rightfully or wrongfully
No I don’t but most of the GP review I could find where rate accuracy is mentioned does not seem that good…but to your point I do not know for a fact on this one
Yeah I never thought the date bothered me on a watch until I started having watch without dates lol!
I love the GP but I hate the date at 4:30...
That leads us to the BP 43 which is clearly based on an iconic series of pilots' watches. One of the very few worthy offerings from their current catalogue.
A really diverse group, but my first reaction is that I'd like to wear (or at least to try on! :-) the blue-dialed sub....Plus, you've been building an impressive Panerai collection recently, so I wouldn't stop at least for a while...;-) Cheers.
The group being diverse here had more to do with watches that were in stock which was not that much! I do plan to add a submersible to my panerai collection for sure …
And that blue dial one just moved to the top of that list! Just not sure if this will be my next purchase just yet…😉
I like the GP. Though I prefer the look of the standard model.
I tried one on for the first time recently and I was impressed by the look and the comfort of the bracelet.
That collection does look stunning. They had the black ceramic version which is also superb
Tough choice. With your impressive collection of chronometers, I am worried that any/all of these would disappoint you.
The GP is lovely (from a case, dial, and bracelet perspective), but the modular chrono and 4:30 would always bother me.
Good point my friend, thought I must say all my current Panerai (which all share the P3000 manual movement - the submersible have the P9xxx) actually have amazing accuracy
They all are at + or - 2 sec/day! To be honest I went to try the new omega chronoscope which was the main reason for my visit…but was disappointed with how it felt in the flesh, so started to look at other stuff for fun!
