      Sounds good.  Hope you enjoy it; watches are fun and the great thing about them is that there's something out there for every style and occasion.  That one is a good simple watch that can be dressed either up or down and still look appropriate.

        N.B.: You might want to hold out for an auto if you concerned about future re-sale; just a thought.

        What's the big difference?.. In terms of quality, I mean. Future resale is n/a here as I will probably give it away to family if I decide to buy another watch…

        Oh: and it hàs a croc strap. Nice!..  😘

          Watch freaks are a weird breed, they really get off on the pure mechanistic qualities of an auto. I think that the there is a feeling that coupling a low cost quartz movement with a high end brand has a demeaning effect. Notwithstanding that the average auto movement in mid-high range watches is a generic ETA movement that probably costs $100.

          Quartz makes a lot of sense, from an accuracy POV, and also from a pick up and go - i.e.: you wont need to wind it.

          I'm not a snob about it, just thought it was worth a mention.

                        Yay, awesome! That's an older model than mine I think, I think I prefer it with the exposed titanium. Have you seen the latest incarnation:

                            Yeah, I fondled it at the G-Shock store in London the other day, it is nice but it is also 500 quid.

                                        It's blue, actually… hard to see in the pics... I went for blue cause it goes well with my Sebenza knife and indigo jeans 😛

                                          Glad you like it.  It's a lovely, classically simple watch, and I do love the jumbo date window.  That's my biggest peeve with my current watch- no date.  And a mineral crystal that I've scratched all to hell, but that's a different issue.

                                          Tripleterror- you have a Panerai?  Which one?  And I'm curious what you're getting to take its place; must be something special.

                                            The Panerai is safe, I'm just adding to my small collection, and it is small!
                                            It's a PAM111, 'F' series
                                            I'm getting an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, 45.5mm case with rubber strap.
                                            I'll post pictures when I get it along with some pictures of the others.
