Definitely automatic.
To find a manual wind, you'd have to virtually go vintage as they were discontinued many years ago. I'm talking about Rolex, of course. JJ

There are no easy answers here.
I really depends on what you want. Do you want a date? Do you want a thinner watch? Do you want a sandwich dial? etc. and so on.

i sugest you look during one week to make a better idea.
if you are in a hurry let us know: 1 wind or manual 2 date? 3 rad or luminor 4 seconds? 5 till how much? 6 new? 7 dive? 8 gmt? 9 chrono? to me i'll start with something simple as 000 005 183 210 112 104 111. and don't forget to buy several straps (it's funny)

For Panerai, I will choose manual than auto.
More classic to me. |

Agreed! And more fun to take off casually in front of co-workers to wind up.

I like auto's but I love manual winds. The only reason I keep thinking about buying a PAM is because I miss having a manual wind watch in my collection. Get the manual

Get the Manual now and then get an Auto later or vice versa... This is an addiction you know.....
