Hello Fellow Paneristis!

I know it's long overdue but I got real busy at work and I just didn't have time to post the arrival of my beloved Panerai 312K. What a great watch though I must admit it was a difficult decision between the 312 vs the Rolex GMTIIC/DSSD!

I think I would've been happy with either of those 3 watches but I think it's only a matter of time before all 3 will be in my possession.

So I suppose it was more of a question of which one was I to get first! LOL!

Anyway, without further adieu, I present to you my 312K!!

Straight from the mainland, shipped to Maui.... what a way to take advantage of the vacation in more ways than one! An excuse to buy a watch for a diving excursion and a great way to save on some taxes!

Enjoy fellas...

mike · 12 November 2009, 09:47 AM

The warmest of congrats.

I had the opportunity to handle a 312 today owned by a fellow TRFer and it is a truly spectacular piece. The watch is a stunning reference!!!

Nice shots. I love the one in the sand with the Officine Panerai filled it.

Looks great.

Congrats Joey, looks fantastic. Good to see it being taken straight out of the box and put into action

Cheers

Perfect choice.

Alex_sks · 13 November 2009, 01:40 AM

Congrat...that remind me the day i unbox my 312...

Joey_V · 13 November 2009, 02:18 AM

Thanks a bunch gentlemen... it is a fantastic watch indeed. It's bigger than my Rolex so I feel like I might hit it against something but I'm quickly getting used to the larger size.

It looks good, it feels good, it runs within COSC. It survived the scuba dive, the waves, the sand.

Love the 312!

TSW · 13 November 2009, 02:26 AM

Congrats Joey looks awsome!!

TswaneNguni · 13 November 2009, 03:04 AM

I retracted my for sale ad... could not stand the thought of parting with my 312!!!

I'm still part of the dark side, guys!

zlin08033 · 17 February 2010, 03:25 PM

You made the right decision for sure

Speed · 17 February 2010, 04:02 PM

Just under 7 in those pics. I gained some wrist size back now but I had just lost 15 lbs running and I lost a good chunk of wrist circumference in those pics. That said, I thought I pulled it off ok.

If I had an 8 inch wrist, I'd be sporting every and any watch imaginable. Alas, I was not made that way.
