PANERAI Luminor 1950 Submersible (PAM00305)

By TLex I'm already a huge fan of the 1950 cases as on the PAM 243, so this also appeals to me. The brushed 47mm titanium case gets my vote, the 300m depth rating is more than sufficient, but I would like to have sacrificed the display case back in lieu of a higher depth rating.

On the other hand with Panerai putting a 100% in-house movement into this diver, I can see why they would want it to be seen.

I imagine this is going to be hugely popular, very expensive and a quite difficult to get hold of for a while. Get on a list now if you want one. I'd still take a 243 over this, but then again I have issues.
