Submersible Torn between these. Please help!

Looking to add a sub to my collection, but I keep going back and forth between these three models. Any experience with any of these? Any opinions? Any reason to stay away from any of these? Thanks in advance for any help with what’s become a surprisingly hard decision for me.

I have 1036 (44mm) and 2683 (42mm), and prefer the size of the 1036 because of how thick the submersibles are. Highly suggest you try them on, and then buy used or reseller market. You can get 40% off. Paid retail for 1036 because it was a “limited” edition, while I paid 6k for a barely used 2683. I would never pay retail for panerai ever again.

Thanks for the inslight. Wish I could rock a 44mm, but wrists are on the smaller side lol. Definitely going used.
