Got my Panerai back from the service centre today after three weeks away. It's had a full service and polished so it looks like new - they even got a couple of scratches off from the case.
Same old Orient Blue Mako on a brand new Navy/Yellow Nato Strap. The blue color of the dial is actually pretty accurate. I had a blue tinted sapphire crystal put on and it effects the normal shades of blue that the Mako otherwise presents. It doesn't have as deep a blue hue as is normally seen with a Blue Mako.
