Based only on how they looks and feel on your wrist.I personally like:Bumble BeeH series Rubber CladCarbon DiverBlack Themes BraceletGrand Prix CarbonYes RG RB2 is pretty fantastic, but I like these ones.

Should I have it regulated or not?
As most of you will know,through my previous thread, thanks to Brian and his relationship with his AD, I was able to buy a 5167A.Whenever I buy a watch, I normally check the daily accuracy rate to check that it falls within the Brands (not necessary Patek Philippe) specification. If it does then I tend to forget it.The 5167A is no exception, and i set it 5 days ago. To date it has lost 28 seconds, which is about 5.4 seconds per day.Now, I have had the pleasure of owning a number of Patek watches and so I know that this is not the norm.In the Old un days, on seeing a thread like this, you would advise the owner of their new (not pre owned) watch to give it a couple of weeks for the movement to bed in as well as allowing it to become accustomed to how you wear it.Is that still the case?Or should I get it regulated?Just to clarify I am not seeking perfection, we all recognise and appreciate that these are mechanical movements and some tolerance has to be allowed.But I would like it to be

Rotor movement question
How freely should the rotor move on a 335?I've noticed that my normal activity (commute via bicycle to and from work ~12min each way) and walking around work all day (estimated to be 10-20K steps/ day), do not seem to be keeping my recently acquired pre-owned Panerai 335 wound. When viewed through the see-through case back the rotor does not swing as freely as several of my other watches.I do have an identical movement 273 but it is in a safe a few states away from me currently so I do not have the ability to compare at the moment, but from memory, the rotor on that watch moves much more freely.The watch is keeping excellent time - not formally tested, but with 2 weeks of daily wear I have not noticed any creep forward or backward in time shown, no matter the state of power reserve.With the current litany of complaints about Panerai Service Center, I'm a bit loathe to send the watch in unless this is a real issue.

Another "Help Me Understand Pam" thread....
I look at Panerai pictures on the web and they all look basically the same but I know they're not and there are no retailers anywhere near where I live so if someone could explain in plain English the differences between Luminor, Radiomir, 1950, etc. it would be really helpful. I think the Panerai Luminor 1950 Flyback Chrono PAM 212 is a work of art but am totally hesitant to pull the trigger because I'm unsure of its size and their site reveals very little to the uninitiated buyer.

PAM 532 - lucky me!!!
Had a great chat at the Panerai boutique in Manhattan and walked out with this ...
