OK, when I first saw this stock photo, I was "meh," but after seeing the live pics in the other Basel thread, my jaw has dropped for this.

Are the Panerai ceramics injected or solid like this one?

I read that it is supposedly milled from a solid block of ceramic.

the more i see, the more i like. two major stumbling blocks: thickness and price. the domed sapphire underneath just seems like a mistake, causing the watch to be too thick and to float on the wrist. have to see it in real life.

another issue is the chemical formula on the dial. probably subtle in real life, but, not something "positive".

otherwise, niiiiiice.

some pix below, with a write up and video available if you click here.
