Quick question - PAM616 vs PAM615. Which one would you choose?

Cheers,
Anthony

Why? Because I really love the design and aesthetics of the PAM615. I think it's one of Panerai's most sexiest chronographs ever made. I love the Carbotech, but my hopes are for Panerai to make a 44mm version of the Carbotech, whether it's a regular lumin...
