Don't get Panerais at all. Literally nothing appeals on that watch. I find the titanium case with steel bezel particularly jarring.

But each to their own! The strap is the nicest thing on there David :)

I think they are quite divisive watches in general, Panerai. Never quite bought that Marmite advertising line, there will be those who are ambivalent, but a bet a room full of watch afficionados would have a fair few people falling at either extreme where a Panerai is concerned. Can't think of a Heuer as divisive off the top of my head.
