Buying my first... I thought I had settled on the 1351, but now thinking 797 as well. I like the titanium cases and chocolate dial. I’ve always had all automatics, so other than the obvious winding difference, what’s the argument for going with the manual wind? Everything else I have also has a date on it, and starting to think the 797 has a cleaner, more classic look. I won’t wear it everyday, so the advantage of the 1351 is I can put it in a winder to keep it going vs remembering to wind the 797 when I’m not wearing it for an extended period.

Appreciate any thoughts.
