I wanted the 270, as I do think a 10 day reserve does make sense on an automatic. You wear it for the weekend, and put it in the safe. Still ticking when you pull it out next weekend, and winds back up. However, it's all about proportion, and that's a personal choice. The addition of the rotor made the body just a little too thick on my wrist. The same applies more so to the 312 and it's cousins. Just take a look at profile views.

Now I've learnt to enjoy winding the fang up to the top.

It's all personal.

That's interesting - you found the 312 to be thicker (taller) than the 270 ?




Cheers
