A new Panerai Mare Nostrum Acciaio 42mm
This looks very nice. I dislike the faux patina though. Same movement as the original 1993 too.

Love the look. Hate the next to nothing water rating and don't like Dubose modular stuff.

As for the watch itself, I don't dislike it but there are about two dozen other PAMS that I'd like to get my grubby paws on first. Thanks for sharing

Interesting.
I don't hate it but I think it's one I'll have to see in the metal to decide.

Always loved the Mare. The '90s pre-Vendome era was a special one for Panerai.
As for Hodinkee, they can be so unbearable at times: "will collectors be elated or exasperated?" There's so much to say about this watch without going to the Panerai bashing well. Very nice! Congrats in advance. Hope it comes even more quickly for you. |

But it's not faux patina, it's just beige coloured lume, as Panerai have done on many of their so called dirty dials - their is nothing faux or patina about it. I have a 069, and the lume on that is green - white is not the only colour lume that is available or allowed. |

I'm pretty sure the ecru colour is considered faux patina. Simulating age

The older one is also nice. But at 52mm it's way to big.

Just ask around. I prefer the white. Should stop anyone from getting the ecru but most will tell you that Panerai is trying to simulate patina. If not naturally occurring over time most consider that faux patina or fake but I was being polite. Other companies do lots of colors. Blue, red etc. that's isn't the same idea though. A like to like example would be some Bell & Ross watches. Some they are trying to give a vintage spin also have the ecru lume. Either way, if you like it go for it. Fist example I can think of though that uses both the white and ecru lume on the same watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Also ecru lume and all, I'd consider it but I'm gonna pick up a 233. The luminors are my first love and I'm current without a Panerai. I'm not against a modular movement as DD make dome of the best but I'd like an all in house movement. A reason I went with my AP diver over a chrono.

Great piece. Excellent alternative to those who want a chronograph that stands apart from the Daytonas of the world

Not for me but I can understand the attraction for some. Another example of Panerai reissuing a watch with modifications.
