312 vs 292

As a first Pam.... for a 27yo. One is a Luminor and the other is a Radiomir.

If both were to be had for 7400$.

312 in second. The ceramic just doesn't scream at me. The 312 gives you what the brand's DNA is all about. IMHO.

+1 on CHRIS...
the sad thing is..the 292 PIG is waaayyy overpriced for what it is...

on the flip side..for a 27yo..the black is very appealing...

I would say 312 because as said above it's got Panerai DNA all in it. You've got the new inhouse movement, 1950 case, beautiful combination of brushed steel and polished, slightly domed and the clean sandwich dial.
