51NGH Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Between: This or This May need to click twice due to the IP login system. To me, the 1950s case is beautiful, but the movement looks very fake?! Please help! Any other suggestions would be welcome for 1950 cases!

Mills Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 the 312 is a close rep but the movement lets it down. Have a look at Andrews site with the Pams listed on his homepage being the "Ultimate releases". The 351 also has the same case and design but with gold hands and graphite case and worth looking at if the movement doesn't bother you. If you are looking for a 50's case, you should also consider the 253 or the 212. The only problem with these is the use of mineral glass instead of sapphire. It's pretty difficult to notice though. BTW I've got a 253 up for sale in the UK at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the 312's issue the movement - other than it not looking like a Panerai movement (and I don't think I have found any automatic Panerai that does?), are there any major concerns with it? I have a PAM111 and would now prefer the 50s case - it just looks very smart!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Panerai are moving over to their inhouse movement but quite a few watches still have the ETA 7750 (automatic) in them and the asian copy is very close. I've got a 288 and a 253 both of which have a similar movement to the gen. You can find out what the gen watches have in this very handy spreadsheet. I think the 50s case is far more impressive than the luminor, very striking and sits slightly higher on the wrist for more presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 If you are focused on movement accuracy than go with a solid caseback. The 312 movement is a copy of an in-house movement so by definition it will be inferior to others based on a stock ETA. I have to agree that if you want a clear caseback go with the Fiddy (127).

lfovco Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Or check out 1950 Regatta, gen is based on 7750 so the rep is more accurate as far as the movement goes, much more so then the 3xx series. It's also quite rare. I run into people wearing 3 series all the time, never run into someone wearing 1950. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
