Big Congrats, Allen
Of course i am biased but apart from that, 312 is a perfect entrance to Panerai world.

Here are the reasons in the order I prefer
1) 1950 case
2) easy change strap system (you gonna love this)
3) Sandwich dial
4) in house movement with 3 days PR
5) date
6) auto
7) transparent caseback

The 312 is often overlook as one of the best Panerai's made. With all the talk of DNA in the new 372 and 390, we often forget the 312 is too full of Panerai DNA.

I couldn't agree more! Beyond thrilled with the 312....I think the Sub-C is going to be spending a lot of time in the safe.

The Pam bug has bitten really hard Allen
Don't worry, the SubC will find his way on your wrist again.



I liked so much the pic on RedBaronF2001's post, so here is a not so successful recreation of that pic
