Agree Mike, it is in the same arena on many points, what i like about is actually the quirkyness: the way the numbers are warped by the domed crystal, the crown lock works down to up, the "panerai" scribble all over the movement...

All these things are not aesthetic/ergonomic choices i would have made, but together , i think they create a watch that will always be a bit special, even if they decide to release something similar down the road.

I also like the smaller fonts on both the words & the arabics & the fact that it is not an inhouse movement

PS
1) the subtlety of the gold hands & how the gold comes in and out of view.
2) the seconds & the 1950 text are also very subtle.

I guess there's my review
Now when i get a chance to get my proper camera on her, i hope to share some great pics.
