Planet Ocean Straps
Are they really $400-500? That's insane! No strap is worth that, unless it's made out of velociraptor.That really turns me off when I know I can buy a Hirsch or Modena of equal quality. Bracelets last, but straps are essentially consumable. They don't last.

5227 or 5146
What would you choose, 5227 or 5146 ? I like both but which will be more versatile to wear dress up or casual ? What are your thoughts and reasons ?Looking at the prices and seems the 5227 is almost as much as a 5146 with only a date function whereas the 5146 has complications. I would think a watch with complications would be more expensive than a simple date function piece.

PAM 115 vs 219--A Few Questions
Good afternoon TRF, I posted in the Panerai section fairly recently as I decided I'm ready to buy one and would like a left-handed (Destro) model. While someone here recommended the PAM 123 which I looked up and instantly loved, I decided the $10k+ price tag is more than I'd like to spend, especially considering this will be my first. I have narrowed my search to a 219 and a 115. Both are around the same price (both used). I am partial to the 115 because of the second hand but have a few questions/reservations. Does anyone have any insight as to which model holds its value better? I know many people here say don't worry about the value just buy what you like but this is important to me so I hope y'all understand . Also, the 115 does not come with any accessories (box/straps etc). While there are mixed feelings on this when it comes to Rolex, I am wondering what the consensus is when it comes to Panerai? I get the sense it affects value more than Rolex but I'm really not sure. Unfortun
