New Piece

Well guys, I did it. I flipped my 190, took in some cash and am getting a BNIB 312!! I absolutely can't wait to get it!!!! To top it off, I have an AMMO coming from Kevin as well.

I go back and forth about being a 1 PAM man and if that will be the case, I feel the 312 holds almost everything desireable in a Panerai.

Pics to follow next week.....

I know it was a REALLY tought decision. I guess life if full of those give and take scenarios though. Hell, you gave up a few nice watches with your remodel and recent wedding. Think about what you could have bought with that dough.

I'm sure I will be a happy camper though....

Brian, I flipped an Exp II for my PVD Zero (which REALLY "smiled" at me) and never looked back. It sounds like you are in the same boat. Congrats on the 312. Looking forward to the pics!

I love the 190 and mine was LNIB. I just kept looking to the Luminors though because that's what Panerai is known for. There could very well be another 190 in my future, but for now I think the 312 satisfies on all fronts.
