Which one should I keep? 321 or 270

Few months ago when I saw the picture of 321, I thought it is a perfect watch, 44mm, 1950 case, 3 days automatic in-house movement, sandwich dial with power reserve and GMT. Ordered it; but it took forever for it to come out; I can't wait that long, then got an offer for a very good deal on 270, bought it. Two days ago, 321 came to my door step. Now I don't know which one should I keep.

If money is not a consideration...I would say PAM 270....it is a really great watch and underrated IMO.

I'm a big fan of the 321. That said, between those two the 270 might be the better deal.

Both fantastic watches....Have had them both on the wrist and the 321 immediately felt better to me. That'd be my choice for that reason alone.

270 for me on the basis that the fang PR looks much nicer than the arch PR on the 321.

Hate to be the odd man out but I'd go with the 321. If it had been available when I got my 090, I would have gone with it then.

321 is gone, so I'm guess 270 is the keeper on the end

I do not think there is another movement on the market which offers an automatic 10 days power reserve other than Panerai. So I would go for the 270 too but the 321 is a beauty!

I guess in the end....sell your gf or wife! You should have kept both the watches! JK!

270 270 270 270 270 270 270 >>>>>>

Any time of day, the 270 would be my choice.

The 10-day automatic power=reserve and full GMT are great features.

The 321 GMT is only 12-hour, which to me as a traveler, is useless. Don't get me wring, the 321 is a nice watch, but the 12-hour GMT function is the handicap in my opinion.

Good luck!
