| I like the dial but the case is too big. Why not make the bezel thinner and come in around 46mm. There is absolutely no reason to make a case that big for 30m WR. I'm beginning to think Panerai and Omega have been watching SNBC. | |

| sales are sales and everyone needs them, regardless of the name on the bezel.
Clearly there is a current market for larger sized watches so why not jump on board.
But to me, if this was the first Pan I had ever seen i would not be as big a fan of the brand as I currently am. I like other models much better. | |

| Bezel is too big to leave plain. Love the strap on it, that's about it. |

| It might be BIG, but it's AWESOME IMHO ! The case has a tough industrial look to it. The blue hands are an interesting touch too. I also like that green strap, it reminds me of a similar look on one of the Hamilton Frogmen !  The theme is great because it's mean looking, but also has that Panerai smoothness at the same time ! ____________________________________  | |
