Well here the result of my disaster of a purchase (in the begining)-In the end it was made right & this is the final outcome.
I wired the $$ (YEP I said that WIRED) on Thursday it was here by 10:15am on FRIDAY--All in-house Panerai312, 1950's styled case,Automatic-44mm brushed s/s case w/ polished bezel,date @ the 3 w/o a cyclops,blk sandwhich dial,3 day power reserve.The case captures it's rich history IMO, & this is the reason I purchased the 312.I wanted the old style look but w/ todays components like auto w/ date. & I gotta say OP hit the nail on the head w/ it's new strap changing system, no chances for the ugly slippage on the lugs.

Sweet pickup. I missed your story on how it was initially a disastrous purchase, but I'm glad it worked out in the end. The 312 is definitely on my radar for later this year.

All's well that ends well. Enjoy the new watch, it's a beauty! It already has quite the story attached to it straight out of the box.
