Decisions, decisions
Not sure if I want to go with a 320 or a 392. I don't NEED the GMT function, but I like the piece. OTOH the 392 has the same movement and 22mm lugs which will enable me to use the dozen straps I already have for the 241.
I also could get the 244, 48, 310, or 298 but I really want the inhouse movement. I know there is no right or wrong answer. I'm not wealthy but the price diff is not a factor; I want to get what I want but need to figure that out. Is there any other factor anyone could suggest than the fact that there ARE a ton of 24mm straps out there as well as 22's....... I have no issue with the 42mm as I have no issue with the 40mm of the 241. There IS some appeal however, to having the "basic" PAM size of 44mm. |

312 didn't make the short-list...

As for lug widths and strap collections... well, if you've spent a small fortune on 22mm straps, I can understand why it's a bit expensive to go to 24mm lugs... . However, maybe that's the excuse you need in order to continue the strap addiction, lol Good luck

Yes I forgot about the 312. which would be a contender.
I wonder if the bracelet for the 241 will fit the 392. I know it's 22mm but the AD told me the end links may not be the same; the lug holes may not be in the same alignment. This isn't petty cash either way, so I want to be sure I am happy, and I can't buy more than one, not right now. And I don't want to sell anything. Hunt starts tomorrow. |

Between 312 and 320, you say you don't "need" the GMT, so, 312 is a no-brainer, cost-wise.
But, I wouldn't discount the 392 just because it's 42. Depends on how the 312 and 392 fit you. If the 312 fits you, might as well go for it and start a 24 strap collection. From what I can tell, there's more choice at 24. |

Of those mentioned, I'd go 312 or 320.
44mm enables you to buy more straps. |

Good points... 312 will save a lot of $$$ over the 320 and look almost identical. I think that 44 mm is a good size, as there are (as Cru says) so many strap options for 24 mm lugs

Thank you all for the advice. Not sure where this will lead, but when I come to a fork in the road I will take it...
