    Nice looking bomb timer; I've only seen the UG Cairelli, not one with the sub dial.
    Interesting....

    Indeed a bomb timer. Appears to be made in two series whereby this one is from the first series. I've found about 10 which have been sold in the last 10 years or so: all second series.

    I see it and immediately I think....what a great and subtle Panerai. Should be on a calf skin strap.

    And i have two Panerai watches, but it has to be said.

    I don't think it can be fixed.... I think you should send it to me in Florida for further examination. :whistling:
