my gosh
what a let down this year.
i was also a bit excited about a tobacco dial titanium 240. and it's ok looking, except for the date bubble, half marker at 9 position AND subseconds too close to center, and the word "automatic" on the dial.
in my opinion, they all look...well, not like panerai. and some are outright ugly.
oh well. enjoy the simplicity of your current watches, as it would seem they are becoming extinct under the corporate hands of richemont.

If I thought it was all Mr Bonati's fault, I'd give him a slap :wink:
Unfortunatelly he plays just a small part in a much larger commercial enterprise that as a brand owner cannot survive off a 'smell of an oily rag' - meaning support and religious following of their old-school Panerai fans around the world. There's a larger high-end watches market share they're endevouring to capture, and the latest products release reflects exactly that.
As I stated in a similar reply post on RWG, most of my/our mech PAM reps are 'more Panerai' to the roots, than gen Panerai watches available today and in the near future.
Sorry, just had to vent some of my frustration with the 'brand' lately...
cheers,
