Looks nice

what do you think ? Would you buy it ? I always like these Panerai 224 - 228 - 229 which were similar watches ( blue dial) made for the firenze boutique several years ago

The bad thing about Panerai is that they kept on making unlimited limited edition watches... Pretty Ironic huh? Haha lol.
Well the worst part is we kept falling inlove into those machines again and again. Haha lol.

The blue is petty mesmerizing, but probably a little limiting, strap-wise. Maybe silver hands would have been better?

I am fond of titanium so I am predisposed to liking this watch. But the blue dial is a bit much unless the band is switched to something even more flashy--such as wheat (to match the hands)--so the whole thing makes a statement and the watch is worn with similar confidence or nonchalance.

Usually blue dials are used with platinum because of the color of the metal. I don't think that's necessary with titanium. So the blue dial for an LE called Europe might suggest the EU? Isn't that a different blue? Guess that's known as artistic license.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for showing us. Blue dial is not my favourite I must confess.

I like it a lot, but not enough for me to buy it. The blue and gold is quite and nice combo.

Blue dial looks like Green Numerals

The blue is beautiful in my humble opinion. Panerai made a special edition chronogragph PAM 168. It had a similar blue dial and I remember many owner complaining that the hands and numbers looked green. Most Panerai collectors prefer creamy numbers. But I am confident this model will sell and be adored.

Thanks,
Bruce
