Which Luminor Marina are you talking about, there are many? To answer your question though: Manual wind stays true to the Panerai heritage and is of their "historic" collection. You'll probably fine that most PAM afficionados (a.k.a. Risti's) pick manual wind for this reason. There's something very gratifying about winding your watch, plus it's just different. Gotta love options!

Good luck on your purchase and let us know via some pics when you get it!!

PAM 111 is a good buy.

im with the boy's , the 111 is a great starter, and the manual calibers are just sweet to wind. next to this you are always sure you have enough power reserve
