Just in the door today and straight onto wrist! This is a homage recreation of the 1982 panerai mille metri- afaik only 4 prototypes made and no watches ever made it into production. Here are the specs of mine: esdee mm case set and pad printed sterile dial, steel case bead blasted (WR 60atm tested - designed for 1000m) rubber strap notched to fit 21mm lugs (sourcing prev 20mm screw-in buckle atm) pad-printed sterile dial relumed by dow, hands stock 2824-2 eta 2824-2 movement with h5 sourced and installed by andy schuhren (entire assembled by andy) I need to wear this and see where wear would have occurred to case- then cape cod for a while locally .... Cant take my eyes off this. So many times one purchases watches or assembles parts to be ultimately slightly disappointed. Not with this one.....

Not bad Mellons but I'm one of those who "gets shivers" when I see notched straps... For me it fits or it don't: Notching is killing the straps IMO or it have to come clean on the outside edge of the lugs like a B&R... Sorry
