Didn't I see pics of you in a pool in Hawaii wearing a green sub?

I wouldn't say choosing between a 212 and 312 is settling it's a priority, there is a time for everything. On a side note, the 127 is my grail, the watch that got me into watches in the first place! But as sal said, it's a different ballpark!

That was the first time I have been in a pool with something other than a G-Shock lol... I figured the Sub would be fine.

Hi guys

An update on my dilemma!
I finally decided to pull the trigger… and the winner is!!

Panerai 212

I just transferred the money, and I expect to receive early next week.
I ordered a couple of straps as well… I’ll post a shitload of wristshots when I get it.

^ good choice, like Sal said the 312 is everywhere.

Thanks!
I haven’t seen any 312’s in the wild in Copenhagen… so they are not that common in my region.
111 & 104 are more common here.
But nevertheless, it appeals to me, that the 212 is only made in a series of 800 watches per year compared to the 312’s 4000 units! 

Great choice, the 212 is on my short list for my next piece. Can't wait to see some wrist shots! Congrats!

omg my dealer friend had pam 127 i didnt buy it
