Manual wind vs self winding

Now I am looking for a new one

This underscores how silly this hobby can be at times.

I brought it on vacation once and I just got in the habit of winding it every other day about 40 times.

Thanks Gus

I really have gone through all phases in my collecting journey.

For a larger watch, this one checks all the boxes for me, and it has alot of the original Panerai DNA in a modern package which I like.

I loved the Speedy but let it go because of the manual wind…..

As much as I love manual wind chronos, the speedy is a pita to wind, there's no way around it.
