The YM bezel 3D effect makes it feel larger IMHO.

Superb review Chip! (And the photos don't suck either ). Having seen that in person during the Dallas GTG, I have to agree it's an amazing watch. I got to wear it for about 1/2 the day on Saturday and was smitten. Panerai has never really been a brand that came together for me until seeing this one. The 1950 case is beautiful and is the first thing that attracted my attention. Then there are the sandwich dial, vintage lume and gold hands - amazing. Add the jump hour hand and second reset function and BANG, I was smacked in the face and looking at the first Panerai that I loved. And you are right about the jump hour hand being a feature that can work for a travel watch. It has me looking more at the brand for a potential replacement for the Blancpain. Again, fantastic review and stunning watch - wear it in good health my friend. I had to come back and read this review again, as well as my comments. Yep, smacked me in the face and a month later I own one. Thanks again for letting me try this out while I was in Dallas. This and the Aerospace are two now that I have borrowed from you and subsequently bought. Hummm, maybe the ADs should set up loaner programs!!!

You can't borrow any more watches because we might end up with identical collections! Borrow the YM next?
