I think either is fantastic and a good decision at 44mm. I just think you'll end up finding that more aficionados will guide you towards the 1312 and you'll likely discover in time it is a preferred model in the 1950 line.
Interestingly, I don’t think the 1312 is overly practical , when you can get a 723 for a few hundred more (which is the 1312 on a bracelet that can be converted to straps).

So if you have your heart set on a 1312, look at the 723 before pulling the trigger!
