Very interesting release. Need to see it in person to see how the bezel looks and feels.

I suspect that the bezel text will be like that of the deep sea. It looks bad in photos, but is much less obvious, and obnoxious, in the real world.
The only other thing I notice that could be better is that it already says Panerai on the bezel, so they could have left it off the dial. That would have been a bit more elegant.

I like the 687, unfortunately 47mm is too big for my "girly" wrists!

687's dial is pretty nice.

as for the history of this watch, reports from P.com are pretty confusing...is it a homage to a franken panerai? strange.

anyway, here's a real-life pic:
