Hey guys!

 

I'm thinking about this as my next watch, but I am new to Panerai and was wondering what the experts would say about this one? I'm really looking for one with a dark brown strap as well. Maybe someone could make a recommendation? Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks.

The 308 Regatta is a gorgeous watch, and a great first Pam. One thing to consider, I don't know about other collectors overall,

but some, including myself have found the 7750 to be problematic, Of the eight 7750 mvmt watches, I have bought,

everyone has broken down. Personally, I go with the less complex movements.

I am interested in that model as well. How close is it to gen?

I have a bunch of 7750 watches, and never had an issue myself, some are years old, never serviced any out of the box. Knock on some watchbox wood, dont mean to curse myself!

I've got 15 or more 7750's. I had some issues in the past but the newer ones seems to be relatively trouble free.

hambone .. did you service any of those 7750? .. were the problems fixable? .. so far i only have 1 7750 .. but its doing well.. i had it services since i hope to get years of service out of it

I've never had a problem with a high beat 7750, either. Never.

The old low beat version was different... members had constant problems with it. Old Regattas might have had that one inside?

Just guessing as it's an old rep model. But then I don't know anything about Panerai (rep or gen).
