312 or 320

Hello guys

I think i'm in trouble...Panerai has been in my head lately...

I'm debating between 312 and 320/321. what are the difference between these
two model other than GMT function on 320/321 ?

Does the bracelet model (like PAM328) could be changed to leather strap? and vice versa? Thanks in advance

Hi Dominic - you may find this thread relevant... http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=123087


To answer your other question - yes, the bracelet on the 328/329 can be be swapped out for a strap in the usual way.




Cheers

Ha ha - I've been there... 312 up to 270 and back again...

But I'll probably go for the 312. If I need a GMT will use the Rolex.


The 233 is a great piece. Tried one a couple of months ago but was already sold to another customer.



Cheers

Had the same hurdle to overcome. Compared 312 and 320, settled for 320. 320 stands out from 312 crowd and GMT is useful for business trips. BTW, personal view - no point paying extra $ for bracelet models as advantage of a Panerai watch is to allow users to quickly change straps depending on mood / style for that day :)

312 for the clean dial and i don't like the idea of 12 hr GMT hands (320, Sinn 756/757 UTC, wtc), at least the 233 has am/pm indicator.
