Forex - nice as it is!
Stitch - you've just made a great advertisement for the Squadra! And the Panny doesn't look bad either.

The 346 is the most expensive, about $13-14k I think. But if I wanted a more understated diver's watch to wear with anything, I'd maybe get a Seamaster or a Submariner for a lot less dough. I just don't see the point of making a 45mm dive watch and then trying to make it subtle. The only thing I really loved about it was the matte brown dial. That really appeals to me.
The 323 I get. It's huge but doesn't feel it, and yet it looks like a "real" Panerai to me; I think it might be surprisingly easy to live with. It's about a grand or so cheaper than the 346 if I recall correctly.
But I really loved that PR indicator on the 423, because for me, the OP small seconds needs something to balance it. I find the odd juxtaposition but similar style of the PR just perfect for that. If it had the brown dial too it would be sensational, but the "dirty" lume is almost as good. Of them all, the 423 stole my heart I think. Each to his own! (And I agree, Stitchy!)
