Not Many Daylight Chronographs?

Hello all,

I'd like to introduce myself - I am new to this forum, and new to Panerai ownership.  I received my watch as a gift from my lovely wife and decided to take a moment to learn more about this beautiful watch and the unique culture of owners behind it.


Actually I've always wanted a Panerai and hinted to the brand as a gift.  So...I finally got one.

But after browsing through this forum, I've got a ton of noob questions.  I've tried the search engine, but instead of getting any answers...just more questions.

I guess the most recurring ones are:

1.  Why no Daylights/Chronograph models?  I guess I feel a little left out, but my new Panerai is a K (2008) production PAM 00250 Luminor Daylight Chrono.  But all the GTG pictures with tons of watches on the table, and it's mainly Marina's, GMT's and some Subs.  How come there's no love for Daylights?

2.  Butterfly deployant clasp vs PAV buckle?  Again, a table full of Panerai's and not one deployant clasp.  It seems nobody keeps the standard equipped deployant clasp?

3.  Brown leather vs black leather straps?  Everybody's got brown?

I wish to graduate into the culture of 'Paneristi' and earn my Panerai manhood.=)

I few tips for the noob?  Please help.  Thank you all in advance.
