Hi - just a quick question for those who own or have tried on the 312. How comfortable is it with that curved back? It is really different than the modern cases (111, 024, etc).

Thanks,
Chris

timepieceaddict · 1 March 2010, 12:52 AM

I find it comfortable but it does sit high on the wrist. The comtemporary case sits lower on the wrist. IMHO, the comtemporary case is the more comfortable of the two. Hope this helps. But the 312 do have the most gorgeous dial. Of course I am biased!!!

B. Doggy · 1 March 2010, 01:34 AM

I think it fits perfectly.

Joey_V · 1 March 2010, 02:25 AM

I agree with Bryan...

Speed · 1 March 2010, 02:31 AM

Anyone have any pics focused on the curved back?

Would like to see that...

Daytonaboy1977 · 1 March 2010, 03:40 AM

Fits great - and is really comfy IMO

TswaneNguni · 1 March 2010, 04:54 AM

Classic and 1950s cases are all very comfy.

m_reign · 1 March 2010, 07:51 AM

I think the 1950 casing is more comfortable than the contemporary models, it sits lower and hugs the wrist.

dukerules · 1 March 2010, 09:13 AM

Very comfortable on the wrist due to the 1950 case. However, it is a very tall piece, and I have trouble fitting it under sleeves.

clew84 · 1 March 2010, 09:15 AM

If someone has tried on or has both the Deep Sea and the 312 - which sits higher?

Joey_V · 1 March 2010, 12:16 PM

These are some old pics..... see if you can see the back's shape.

nepod90 · 1 March 2010, 12:33 PM

those pictures make me want to trade up...

just_pablo · 1 March 2010, 10:28 PM

hi guys! i just can't see the difference between case back of classic luminor and 1950 case.
Is there any curve?

Hey Chris,

I have owned both. The DSSD wears higher the PAM wears wider if that makes sense.

Chris,

with luck, I should have my 312 tomorrow - you can come and check it out. I can't wait - this will be the one for me! Can't believe I made it this long without a Pam!

Congrats Greg!! You will love this baby!!! I have not worn my Rolex since I got the 312 two weeks ago - that is not like me either as I love my Rolex watches!!

johnswatch · 2 March 2010, 06:32 PM

My SD ended up on the bedside table after I bought my Pam. The SD has now gone to another happy home but the Pam is staying.

It's as comfortable as the shirt is on that model you have on your avatar

BTW who is she? Hard to see.

You rang?
-PAM 88

I'm obviously biased but there are several GMT models, 88, 320, 321, 233, 270 to name a few. GL

sonypc100 · 7 March 2010, 09:13 AM

Thanks - yeah just looking at some 270s on ebay, all around $12,000, not wanting to spend that much, will look at the other models you have suggested.

The 270 is gorgeous

There is a new SE model coming out this year, the 29. It's a stunner
