the Sub dail does not do more then show the seconds, the 233 (GMT) has a second hand to show the hours but on the origial dail not using a bezel , hence it shows 2 time zones against the 3 on a rolex.

the essence of Panerai lay's mainly in its simplicity the calmer the dail the more prevered (by most, i cant speak for all off course). But that is why the most base models are very sought after , agianst some off the Chrono's what indeed are less sold then the base.

there is a GMT with the numbers on the bezel , but again this is non rotatable showing 2 zones.
