why is the new pam104 with its applied dial greenish and seems just placed on top of a flat dial compared to the old pam like 112 (applied dial) which have white markers and the markers placed on a slightly engraved surface?

so now it seems some pams to me are now unappealing and hastily made.

Different strokes for different folks, you are comparing painted vs. sandwich dials. What would have been the point if all their models had the same dial? Besides, the 104 is one of the most popular automatics out there. My AD wouldn't discount a cent on these since they sell like hot cakes.

I think it has to do with Panerai wanting to evolve their collection. Like m_reign said, different strokes. They won't please everyone, but they will broaden their appeal by taking chances on different design ideas.
