Yes I like it, I will wear it for a bit but it wont be here long.
If I am going to keep another chrono in my collection this just kinda nailed it in that it will be a Zenith Daytona or ROO. I got a great deal on this and like it but just to me its a bit busy for what I expect of a Panerai.

It is a great piece, I love the weight behind it and I love the design of the bracelet but its a bit busy of a Panerai for me so I have it up for trade. I like a cleaner look from a Panerai.

It will grow on you. My initial reaction was the same, but I really missed it after trading it away. I would have gladly taken it off your hands but I am trying to save to get a 328 once they are out.

I do not like the bracelet on the 328, just not as sexy and unique as the old style. I also am not a fan of their in house movements due to a service issue thats going on with a 233 I own.
I really like the pics of the 168 posted here, I just am not sold on the NSWE bezel yet.... It is their only diver with a GMT hand though isn't it?
