Thank you dear. I was contemplating at night to buy as thickness is one of the characteristics of this solid racing watch. Then I read your post and realised that Panerai, not Omega, is known for such dials. And I already bought a Panerai this year.

Why did you post this, I thought that I had shaken off the desire for this watch and dial combination, you post the picture and now I can't stop thinking about it.

GRRRRR 🤬

😀

It is 15.97 mm thick 47 mm watch, that is very comfortable due to its cushion shape and wire lugs. It is a typical military specs watch that has anonymous dial and aged steel case with great vintage charm in golden faded dial and plexiglas on top. My first Panerai and I love it.

bought mine 3 years ago, I wear it nearly every day, as a result it has a few dings and it is a big lump on my 7 3/4" wrist but I love it.

On a side note, everything there is to say about this LOVELY watch has already been said be the OP. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. ;-)

I had an original mk ii but ended up selling it and then missed it but couldn't find one in good enough condition so bought the reissue and they are gorgeous watches and the quality of the metal bracelet is incredible.

We would love to read your comparison between the original Mk2 and this re-issue. Apart from the movement, that is obvious, what other diffence you feel and which is better?
Enjoy your watch in good health.
