[QUOTE=gingerjedi]Assuming you spend 10 seconds a day winding it, thats an hour a year or £40 in CUK terms! A beautiful watch none the less.

I might feel daring and wind it during working hours.

Officina Panerai Luminor Base Logo Edition.

Purchased with the money from my first invoice as a contractor. I had been lusting for it for years.

Fully mechanical, I wind it every morning, no battery to go dead or be impossible to replace.

I love it. I believe I don't have to spend energy thinking about getting a watch anymore in my lifetime.

Also I would not join this forum if I was not a contractor.

OK - you're clearly a watch salesman who has only joined the forum to plug your merchandise.
