My new 312!
 

It's been 2 years since I sold off my H series Pam 24. I miss that watch, but I really wanted a 1950's case...so here it is! What an unspeakably gorgeous case it is...

Great work! Big congrats and enjoy. Looks like a great fit for you. :cheers:

I love the 312, but, the 1950 case just doesn't sit right on me. Ultimately, the brushed case and polished bezel that first grabbed me with the 312 lead me to the 164. :thumbsup:

Very nice. Congrats! :thumbsup:

It's a weird feeling!!!
You had a Pam and sold it, and never felt the same!!

We are in the same boat!! It's unexplainable!
Sold my 177 and had this void for mOnths till I got back to owning a Panerai!!!

Anyway, congratulation and you'll be very pleased with that beauty!

Congrats! 312 was my first...enjoy and wear it in good health...

Congrats man. I know there are aspects of mine that I'll miss.

I've had my 312 - my first Panerai - for about two weeks. The watch is really beautiful. That's not the stock strap, so tell us about it, particularly where you picked it up.

Looks great - congrats!

Looks great. Looks like a baseball glove strap. Nice.

Strap is awesome. It's a Savage, veg tan...very supple. Feels broken in immediately. I conditioned it a couple times to darken it a bit too. According to Scot, it should patina beautifully!! I'll post pictures of the strap in a bit...

Big Congrats, Michael :thumbsup::clap::cheers:

What an awesome watch, 312 is :dude:

Congrats! As I have always said, the 312 is the bang for your buck panerai..

:cool:

Had the 312 for a little over 6 months... I liked the 50's case and the overall look of it. My only problem was that I thought my wrist was just a hair too small for the oversized face of the 312... but not for the face of the 270.

So... 270 someday for me.

But if I could pull it off - the 312 is a great watch!

Nice looking watch Michael, Congrats.

That's a beauty--congrats!

Very nice sir

Nice watch! Congrats:cheers:

Congrats and enjoy!

Looks great!

Congratulations on getting a 312.

It's an excellent choice for both a first Pam and as a daily wearer.

How is the 312 oversized compared to the 270 Joey? Is it because of the domed crystal illusion that makes it at times, look smaller? :)

Couple more random shots guys! Thanks forth positive comments - awesome watch!

Congrats!! :cheers: :thumbsup:

Any chance you could take a pic of the the watch flat showing the strap ? I just picked up a new 312 yesterday ,and ordered the baseball leather strap this afternoon. Your pics inspired me to pick up this strap:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Love that brushed 1950 case, sadly it wears too tall for me. congrats on your 312.

Sure thing, I'll take one in the morning
