88 and 90 both manual wind?
 

Are both the 88 and 90 both manual wind? I do not want to manually wind the watch every second day. I am on a waiting list for the 88 but the 90 has come up and I like both.

Thanks

Both are automatic movements. Two very different looks.

Also check out the 8-day movements PAM has to offer. Some of them are exquisite and they are of the historic Panerai pedigree. I only wind mine, well, every 8-days and enjoy every second of doing it. :thumbsup:

Automatic movemnet both...

I have been quoted $7500 Canadian for both, I'm sure the us has some better deals, especially the bev hills official shop

Even autos needs winding once a while! Right? Winding an auto is real PITA compared to manual!

i havent wound my 88 since the day I purchased it which was in december.

its a great automatic watch.

Same here never manually wound any off my auto's, however the + on a manual wind is that you can assure it keeps running without wearing it and note the thing stopped again ...

So you guys wave your arms that much? :rofl:

Anyway, once owned an auto, I'd wind once a week or thereabouts to keep PR fully wound. Go figure...It was PITA to wind it.

I have a 297 (which is essentially the 88 on a new-model steel bracelet) and I LOVE IT. I like it more than the 90 (or 171) because of the larger, cut-out hands; they just have a little more flair and character...

I also have a 177 (manual wind) and to be honest it is on the bay' right now because I wore it 7 or 8 times and got sick of having to wind it.

To each their own. Some people LOVE manual winds. Just not me ;)

I, too debated over the 88 and 90 (or 161/171/297...all similar models but w/ bracelets) and in the end, the GMT function won me over. To me, WAY more useful than a Power Reserve :)

Good Luck and enjoy whichever you are lucky enough to snag!
