I like it! I am a big fan of special, solid case backs like this. And the logo on the dial, the human torpedo, makes it more special. The titanium is a great choice for the case, I have a 562 and love the titanium. I'm not crazy about the small seconds at 9 o'clock, though, but could certainly live with it.

i like it a lot, especially the case back. The dial however, i don't get it. Whats that got to do with london?

Is it a london edition on the back and an italian navy edition on the front? I might have tried to buy it otherwise as im a sucker for editions related to cities i have a connection with

All of the boutique editions are "standard" up front, "engraved" on the back.

What's good here is that you get London on the back with an 8-day movement with no "8 DAYS" on the front. I also think the ecru lume looks good with the Ti case.

i meant the human torpedo thing on the front which would make it non standard, no?. Im not all that familiar with all the various non standard models but the regular models i have looked at previously don't have it. i could have done without that if its not part of the london theme. I quite like the city engraving on the back. Still a very nice looking piece though

The SLC (Siluro, a Lenta Corsa) is a "classic" Panerai element on several previous limited editions, so, in that sense, it signifies on the front that this model is "special".

I saw this on FB last night and I must say I am very impressed with it. It has all the features in a 44mm Panerai that I love. I'd personally prefer not to see the seconds dial at 9 but you can't ever have everything.

I like it and if I had a connection to London I might be a buyer if I could get my hands on one.

Definitely not a hater, I own several. My take is that this is re-visiting a previous edition - 416, 417, 414, etc... from long ago. I concede there are differences, but my concern is that Panerai isn't innovating. This is a re-run.

they didn't act like it last weekend. They just said, pay a deposit to get the first allocations and didn't say you better pay a deposit or you wont get it. Being its London, i would imagine its selling out though but its not prominently displayed in the boutique (its hiding in the corner behind a desk) and not a lot of people even know about it

I like it a lot, however i know nothing about what the market or demand is even like for a Panerai LE. The fact it might have been a hassle to get was a negative to me, but it turned out to be ok. So if it sells out or not, i will be happy to own it all the same.

I was in touch with the boutique about a different watch and emailed an enquiry about this, got no response.

Are you able to confirm what the RRP is?

so educate me on sandwich dials which i don't think this is. One site said it is but i dont think so. Its like one dial to me not two but the lume isnt painted on top either. Its slightly below the dial surface as if filled in but its not like a 233 either. what would you call that?

Based on the photos, it looks like a "sausage" dial to me, meaning it's slightly engraved and then filled with lume.

Sandwich dials have a top disc with shapes cut out through which one can see the lume beneath.
