Haha... the 42mm is very understated. I do not mind the polished case of the 190 at all. I think my overall preference is brushed case though

Yes I think this makes sense where the larger cases it’s nice to have a brushed case so not so bling

I like them both. Just a matter of personal choice.

I like the polished case with the Radiomir case and wire lugs.

For Panerai, I prefer the mix of both, specifically with submersibles. For everything non-submersible, I personally prefer the polished look. Personal preference of course.

Both, all depends on my mood and outfit / event.
