114060 has landed

I loved my Panerai 312, Luminor Marina. But found the case a wee bit too thick to sit comfortably under my shirt cuff. It was quite a weighty piece too.

After having seen a ceramic sub in the flesh, that switch was flipped in my brain, and after a lot of thought and hand wringing, i decided to flip the PAM for this beautiful 114060.

what a beauty........

great watch! if an LN, going no date is the way to go, IMHO.

and good flip, too. there's a lot to like about the 312, but, the 1950s case does wear very thick and top heavy.

Big congrats!
I am also the proud owner of a 114060 since a week ago, or so. The 40mm look in fact much bigger (around 42mm, I'd say), don't you think so?
Enjoy it in good health!

Far and away the best looking dive watch in the Rolex line.
