Strange Jay, I never gave them a 2nd glance but since I got it I havent had it off and it is a seriously awesome Panerai, as good as any of my others but in a different way!
I know of a 243 coming up for sale in Uk soon if you are intrested! |

I had never really noticed before but they do look the most like the old instruments Panerai used to make. Send me a PM about the 243, never say never!

...very jealous. I love my 24 like crazy, but the 243 is something else entirely. In an ideal world, I'd have both...

It is a big lump but the 1950's case makes it sit well. Personally I love it, Its heavy enough to know its there without annoying you.

Man I love that watch... Fiddy case and the minor but perfect 1000m details on the crown guard lever and dial really finish her off nicely!
