About a decade ago I owned a 44mm titanium Luminor that I just couldn't wear because of the size. I think Panerai nailed it with these new releases. You still get the classic chunky Panerai feel, just scaled down a bit.
They've got 100M water resistance, thank goodness, and screw-down case-backs (not snap-on). All around they're very appealing if you like that Panerai look, which I do.
The company's gotten a lot of heat over the last couple of years, often deserved, and the brand in general has fallen out of favor to some degree. But I call it as I see it, these are very nice timepieces.

The new size looks great on your wrist. How is the interchangeable strap system? Were you able to test it?
