nope.

that is why the italians got their arse kicked so swiftly and badly during WWII that it kinda became a joke

with a watch that is non hacking... no minute indicators...  and even seconds indicator:Laughing_on_floor:

mind you, but i love my Panerai to bits and love "dressing" her up but i find they are milking their history to the max :D

Who needs hacking and second indicator? It's the styling that matters.  :Laughing_on_floor:

A risti would want both luminor and radiomir. These are two different watches all together.
I prefer luminor (J and beyond) because of the quick strap change. Pre-J and radiomirs are a pain when it comes to strap changes. Nevertheless, I would like to add a radiomir to my collection someday.

I believe base lumninor models do not come with quick strap change either.

All 44mm luminors starting J come with quick strap change mechanism. I believe this is still valid.

Strange... my J-series luminor came with a screw driver instead of the quick change stylus pen.

You guys are right. Just confirmed that Historic models are the only one using the old strap change system.

Fred, congrats on the 111. It's a good buy.
