Can't help posting a few pics
Totally in love with my very small Pamily

Thanks, Raj. Yes, the 1940 case is the perfect marriage of the two classic ranges; I held off for quite a while, but should probably have got the 512 in addition to, rather than as a replacement for the 346.

I'd say "live and learn", but...

Agree there, I loved the 346 but it had to go as the pamily needed a cull. I miss it but at least it is happy with a new TZ owner. Gratuitous pic on a Micah strap. Memories....

I know that the combination of manual wind and a screw down crown has historical precedent but it does put me off, photogenic looks not withstanding. I still think the Submersibles exude awesomeness, but the iconic crown protector is a bit desperate, viewed from a historical and technical perspective. I really should get round to owning one, at least once

Try it. The "half Moon" crown protector seems like a gimmic, but once you get used to it, every other screw in crown would seem like a PITA. Setting the time and putting it back in is done in a few seconds

Enjoyed that, Alun, thank you. Such a perfect watch - I really fancy trying it on rubber.

Some great panerai on here, looking to add a luminor at some point like the 795.

I've a hankering after a Luminor Marina PAM00776

Beautiful photos as always!
Gimmick or not the crown protector is not only great to operate but an iconic feature of Panerai’s. Therefore even though I love both lines I’’’m more in the Luminor camp.
One more picture ’won’’t hurt:

Playing around - lockdown boredom!

Has anyone tried a Panerai on a NATO strap? I was thinking it may stop the watch moving around so much on wrist as my 233 does.

The crown guard is perfect.
