I went to the other side and.......

....is nice

After of more than a year that i was drulling all over my keyboard watching pam pics and was testing the salesmen patience at AD's by keep visiting without buying, i finally made my move and since last Friday i am the very happy owner of a brand new 312.

But i am telling you that it wasn't easy. The battle between 312 and 359 was EPIC and the main reason that i chose 312 is because i don't like polished cases.






So without further comments i am presenting you my new (big ) baby:














a not good cell phone pic of the luminova but you get the idea








man it's such a bitch trying to get a descent pic while you driving














and the most bright rainbow that i have ever seen.....was like fire jumping out of the ground..

Absolutely stunning Panos, huge congrats. I have often considered buying a 312 but I get into the 312/351 debate and I can't decide. I think you made a great choice!

It's a great watch and probably not one I'd ever move from my collection. CONGRATS!

On a funny note, it is getting sad. I can name every Panerai shown without even blinking an eye. Although, those are pretty easy

Said it before and I say it again, the 312 is one of my all time favourite Pannys! Congrats!

They stopped going to Australia and since then, they lost my business..

The global financial crisis, the oil crisis, I am suprised Olympic air is still going.
