It needs a bracelet IMHO.
I think that the PAM 243 might be on the way out, so I have no idea what may be incoming. Maybe another PAM 176 (still in my top 3 fave PAMs) or an IWC Ingenieur Chrono. The 243 is much heavier than the Deep Sea, so it barely gets worn. I almost always wear a Titanium watch these days, so another Ti PAM or my first IWC may be the ticket to getting more wear.

You are always changing so I guess I shouldn't be too shocked.

Dude, I am shocked too!! Panerai is my favorite brand, by far, and the 243 was the one I had wanted for so long. I just never figured that I wouldn't like the weight of it. I just prefer Titanium pieces. And yes, I change watches like most change clothes. 
I would still have my 176 if I hadn't liquidated my entire collection last year... It was for a good reason, but it still sucked. No watch has held any significant meaning to me since I did that.
**I should also add that I thought I would like the cyclops date window on the 243, but it just doesn't do it for me either. I much prefer my timepieces to A-not have a date or B-have a date with no cyclops. I guess I should just get a PAM 305, since it is Titanium, has a date, and no cyclops.

Have you seen or tried on the leather strap as well? What did you think of it?Absolutely agree that this is a big year for Tudor. Their latest Heritage lines have Rolex fans drooling
