Hi All,

I have a GMT (116710) and a Speedmaster tintin, I was interested in adding a Panerai to see what it is like on that side of the fence (there is my only tie in to my post title, ha). I really like the 177 and 564, I understand the differences between each and really think I would be equally happy with either, though I have not seen a brown dial in person. I have actually never even tried on a Panerai, so I have to do that first.

The aspects I really like about both models are the brushed case/bezel, sandwich dial, seconds hand and manual wind. Titanium is a great feature as well, but not an absolute requirement.

Does anyone have any recommendations for similarly spec'd steel option in the Luminor Marina, 44mm spectrum? I also like domed crystals, if there were an option that had it all. It is tough to discern differences between all of the Panerai models!

Thanks!
