As for the case back, generally speaking, the Luminors with 100 WR are snap on, not screwed. I don't know for sure which the 1279 has.

As for price, it doesn't surprise me (for a recent Panerai) due to the GMT function + Carbotech insert.
Agreed if its normal casted Titanium it shouldn't be priced north , maybe the Bezel made of carbon is to justify the price.
Anyways a fun fact my Submersible Pam 684 is screwed caseback with sapphire crystal and its just 100m! Wasn't a deal breaker as I don't even swim with it!
