The Submersible range is now without the Luminor word, just "Panerai Submersible"

Thanks Lee for the share! The New Carbotech with green accents is quite cool, but is out of reach .

Great to see the new models Lee. Did any of them strike a cord? They’ve got some neat material choices lately. Maybe they’ll be able to revive the glory of the brand with these.

Yes it is!
But...in my eyes, it was only truly special until they started changing it.
When they added the markers...stopped using tritium...used diferent materials for the case...and even changed the case shape slitghtly....in my eyes the watch lost what makes it unique, simplicity and conection with the past!

I feel the same way.

I never owned a submersible but always liked them. The best ones, in my opinion, are simple - less is more.

Are you the original owner?
