After lots of thought, I chose the 312.
I am thrilled with it and haven't taken it off in a week.

On the black gator

On rubber- this strap is bigger for my wrist.

Psmith · 29 September 2012, 08:47 PM

Congrats Jeremy - looks fantastic

Nice car too

DiverAsia · 29 September 2012, 08:47 PM

Congratulations! A beauty. One of my first fav Pams.
Wear it in good health!
Cheers!

Jeremy...312 is a great choice!

Awesome piece!

Enjoy.

Shrinkdial · 29 September 2012, 09:29 PM

Thanks for the nice comments.
It is a really nice forum here.
And I should have said thanks to Clive and Kirk et al who provided timely and very helpful info for me.
And how can you tell what car it is???

My pleasure Jeremy

Shape of the steering wheel and instruments is Audi, as is the 'S' (or 'R') badge at the bottom of the 'wheel

Great model, keep the rubber strap on if you're not going to take it off ;-)
Congratulations.

Cheers
Richard

Very nice.

Congrats!

Glenn422 · 30 September 2012, 03:42 AM

Nice! I was thinking of getting a 312 for myself as well! Great combination with that Audi :) Looking at it, is that an S5??

Shrinkdial · 30 September 2012, 10:43 AM

Thanks again for the nice comments.
I will keep it on rubber for now.
Thanks to the people sharing great photos I have ordered my first two straps from Gunny.
Looking forward to them already.

The car is Audi A6 actually, very impressive Clive.
I do love the interior of it, very nice.
I think the badge on he steering wheel is sports model.
It still goes quick!!
Unfortunately like most cars in Australia, for the same price in the States I could have had an M5. Sad but true.

Yeah I saw the "s" on the steering wheel which made me thought it was one of the S line :)

True..US cars are a lot cheaper than here that i cringe when comparing the price of what I bought here with the US's price! I feel like my car just lost value!

Great lookin watch! I'm also considering the 312 vs 104. I like the feel of the 104, but still need try on the thicker 312. I hope it fits my skinny wrist!

DiverAsia · 1 October 2012, 02:07 AM

Nice! Post more pics please. I don't see enough 312 photos on this forum.

Nice cars... my family have had German cars since I can remember. Grandpa Psmith was an Audi fan - the interiors are fantastic. Audi 'R' vs. BMW 'M' is interesting. Mercedes leaves me a bit cold for some reason, but the next-gen of AMG cars may change that!

Thanks again everyone for the positive notes.
Much appreciated

Indeed I have started looking for straps....
Bought two gunny ones- hopefully post photos when they arrive, very excited.
Looked at Micah ( thinking canvas for this watch...) and Greg Stevens- there are so many choices it is great

GP_Pirate · 7 October 2012, 10:44 PM

What a beautiful piece! I have a 24 now (my first pam) and the next one will be a 312!
