Panerai launches its new timepieces for 2016 at the SIHH watch salon in Geneva this week.

Dots at each hour position (two at 12 o’clock), treated with luminous paint, aid in nighttime legibility.

Trade Daytona for AP 15450?
I'm considering an AP 15450 and wondering what folks think about it? Is it a good idea to trade/move my Daytona for it?I tried it in Vegas a few months ago and it seemed like the only the AP that fit my skinny 6 wrists.Since I'm a bit of a serial flipper, how much does it lose in the secondary market, considering its not one of AP's popular models? Is it something that I would have a tough time selling or trading back?AP 15450AP 15202AP 15400

The new RO 15202
As far as I know, the now old RO 15202 was pretty much the steel Nautilus 5711 of AP. In other words, it was a model that had a limited production, definitely lower than market needs. It was more expensive than the readily available 15300ST, and it was virtually impossible to find in most ADs and even AP Boutiques (please correct me if I talk rubbish). And unless I'm wrong, it was possible to special order a 15202 with a custom-made gold rotor, for of course a few thousands USD extra.Is that still the case with the new 15202? If one has to order and wait months for a 15202 anyway, and it costs considerably more than its readily available counterpart (15400ST now), then if one has the funds then why not order it with a special, unique rotor? Or does it only work if you order at least 10 similar pieces in a batch? Did anyone order a 15202 (old or new model) with a custom made rotor?It would be great if you could share your experiences in getting a 15202 brand new, from an AD or Bout
