Finally came in. Pretty happy with it so far. Changing the strap to brown today. Movement is loud as hell, which was unexpected. Big thanks to crick for all my noob questions.

Joshua also!

@crick:

Your evil deeds will look like an Asian 7750 with running seconds at 6 in the hands of my dagger shaped regulator of justice!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good recommendation man. It suits Baker22 well. Now if you're truly evil you'll actually recommend him a fiddy :twisted:

@baker22:

Nice watch man! You wear it well! Maybe a thicker strap will make it look less imposing?

@6? ARE YOU MAD!??!?!?!?!?

i recommended a 111h... probably my next ep buy :)

@baker: yeah, the 40 looks great on you! 44 if you want to sport the bigger look. I might go for that. but a 47 iz too big! too big!

Looks good mate! Next stop a manual Marina 44mm! :D

advantange to a manual? curious

no advantage, more traditional. Keeps up with the tradition of panerai and horology in general.

* historia of Panerai
* robustness of movement
* lower running / maintenance costs
* elegance of simplicity
* satisfaction of being involved with the process of time
* noise = quiet ticking, like a little heart beating [smilie=love4.gif]

You need to try at least one! :D
