Icon20 What's old is new again - "crown guard" bracelet is back - 722 & 723

Panerai's bracelets have gone from being distinctive to rather bland (IMO) to being distinctive once again.

722 (42mm) & 723 (44mm), both 1950 Luminors.

I wonder why the 745 doesn't have the same "new" bracelet?

I like the 723 and the bracelet. I will give this one some consideration when it arrives at my AD.

All they have to do is bring the cyclops back on ALL of their watches and they'll be back to being Panerai.

€7,900.

Not sure why, but it's on the French version of the website, but not the U.S./English version (http://www.panerai.com/fr/collection...esCode=FRPA-FR).

Must be a bug?

Certainly is a cool look. I'm more of a strap person, but I do really like their bracelets.

They're not on the Singapore website either. Thank goodness for that, just saved me about S$14,000!

I've always thought Panerai to be one of the few watch brands where the watches actually look better on leather rather than Steel bracelet.

However that bracelet may be the one to change my opinion - actually looks stunning and the quality top notch.

This. Although I have to give a thumbs up for Panerai for (re)creating a distinctive and great looking bracelet. Not easy these days.
