I find it funny that so many people consider the panerai styling to be "understated." In my mind the huge crown guard and the big bubble/unique shape of the case tend to make them pretty loud in my mind. I'm not saying anything bad about them, but to me they stand out in a way that says "look at my watch look at my watch" as opposed to subtle luxury.
I don't really like the oversized crown guard, so the radiomir line is more my style. OP you can get a new Panerai within your budget on Jomasshop or AuthenticWatches. Some people hate on the online dealers but I got a Bell & Ross for my sister and everything checked out. You're buying a new watch, so a prepurchase inspection isn't necessary.
