Thanks again martijnp...
Well, I am back to the 104. I am not satisfied with the replica open case backs so I decided to go closed. This also means that with the options I want, the 104 is the best comprimise, so no sandwich dial either. I can still be very happy with a 104.
So, I found 2 watches I am considering. I will post the links, but I am questioning the accuracy of the strap attatchments. On the one from trustytime, the strap release is simply a long screw. On the one from Puretime, it has the signature quick strap release push pin built into the back side of the case. Also, one is 316F steel and the other is 316L. Do I need to care about this? Is one Lume better than the other. So difficult to understand!
Has Panerai made this watch both ways and slightly changed the design over time or is one replica more accurate than the other. They are close enough in price that I am more concerned with buying the better overall watch.
I know it will take time and effort, but some guidance would be appreciated.
