I love the way they have finished the edges of the bridges, real haute Horology finish and there is something so appealing and clean to how they have executed the power reserve section. Oh, and just noticed that he has a '007' in the serial number!

Ha. I haven't noticed that 007 lol.
The previous owner must have never used it, as the straps were still new and without a bend and the watch had plastic on it.

Also it's very low in numbers of the limited edition!

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but it really is a beautifully built watch and quite gorgeous in person.

Greetings Chip! So very happy for you. That really is a stunning piece, and the strap is gorgeous. The finishing on Panerai watches is perfect, and that beautiful inhouse movement is the icing on the cake. Not much for exhibition casebacks, but this would definitely be one of the exceptions. One of the nicest Panerai watches I have seen. Lume is fantastic. I would never wear it on anything but that strap!!! Of all the watches you own - including the Rolexes - I like this the best. Enjoy it in excellent health. Cheers, Carl

I also love the very simple long brushing on those bridges. It gives it an elegant and yet utilitarian this watch is a serious tool stance I feel. Is the crystal plastic Chip?

Sorry for multiple posts but I just noticed as well that the brushing on all three bridges all line up with each other, now that is the sort of attention to detail that my OCD tendencies just love!

It's domed sapphire, 3mm thick.
The 372, which shares the case, lacks the second hand and it has a 3mm plexiglass crystal.

carl the strap was a big draw to me. It's gorgeous and so soft... I bet it will look even better with age. Sent from my iPhone 6 Plus using Tapatalk

I had no idea they could even make a sapphire crystal with that depth of dome, This really is Panerai moving into haute Horology Chip.
