Having serviced movements with and without precision regulators- then for me a swan neck regulator is a great thing to have on a calibre as the knocks and jolts from every day use can be cancelled out by the regulator arm solidly fixed between the spring and adjusting screw.where as without over time the regulator arm can move from jolts and every day use and age and wear .swan necks are easier to finely adjust

I don't want to speak for others, but I think the vast majority
of Panerai owners really don't place much emphasis on whether or not the movement has or doesn't have a swans neck regulator. That's just my opinion. I'd just get the model that you fancy more. Movements are all fairly accurate these days, so swans neck r...
And you're perfectly right. The day when...
a Panerai will be bought based ONLY on the movement, will be a very sad day (at least for me) :-) Cheers
