How can it be so expensive - I don't get it at all.The date window is wonky too, ask for your money back and buy a children's hospital wing, you will get more pleasure from it I'm sure.
Show us some more Richard Mille porn please.
And the miss's still ain't found out what I paid for it! Lol

Wrong Chris if you're asking him to show off some RM. I was caught out a couple of months ago or so as well
Yes I am not chris5150 who I believe has changed his pistonheads userid to emonda03. Richard Mille is one of the few watch brands I do not have and have no plans to get as I personally do not like the design/look.I believe emonda03 still has his watches including many Richard Mille but I seem to recollect he was now a big Apple watch fan.
Been wearing this a lot recently, and liking it a lot - very clear to read and very light/comfortable (Ti case and bracelet); also impressed by the nifty way it 'sleeps' after a couple of days of non-use, then re-sets itself on being moved...
In fact, I wore it for a trip to Leeds yesterday, intending to look at Sinns at Jura - not an entirely successful trip as returned with this after some man maths over a coffee...
It's a 44mm PAM00351 auto Marinar, also in a Ti case, with Panerai's own in-house movement - likely going on an assolutamente deployment strap which is on order. The on-wrist pic is deceiving as shot with a macro lens - it's far less obtrusive in the wearing than that seems to show and very very comfortable. Always lusted after one and once tried on, it was sold (can still see me adding a Sinn to the collection 'though)

Thanks - the Seiko model is Sportura Kinetic Auto Relay Titanium 5J22-0E00; I picked it up as a NOS item. I have always liked Seikos and this is my third Kinetic, the other two have never missed a beat although the oldest could now do with a capacitor change What model is the Seiko, I'm looking for a daily watch?

Have a look at Corrigia Straps. Much better than the Panerai leather straps, and loads of different leathers to choose from. If you sign up to the newsletter, there are quite often email offers with big discounts.
Such a big watch needs a big strap. The standard Panerai ones are tiny by comparison.
There are also dozens of others who make nice leather straps as well, such as Toshi Straps here in the UK, but Corrigia have some really nice leathers.

Many thanks for the tip - a big factor in plumping for the Panerai was the multiplicity of strap options and I have been cruising sites this morning but not come across those two
toshi are very nice, definitely suit bigger watches. I got a nice hirsh one as replacement for my Tag strapPupp said:

Ha, I know exactly what you mean. I spent hours scouring all the sites and decided on a Corrigia. Some Pictures from a thread when they arrived - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
