projectologist Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 After 4 months of waiting and being #2 on a list for probably just one watch that wasn't predicted to show up until possibly late summer, I'll have it tomorrow! The first guy on the list passed and I had a 2 hour window to decide before they called #3 (over 50 people on the list and over 300 at the Manhattan Boutique). Very recently I had sold both of my PAM frankens and a VDB vintage for another purchase. Glad I hadn't spent it yet. I feel very fortunate that I had the funds and made the decision at the beginning of the year to get on the list. Here's someone else's pic of the object of my long time desire. More pics here... http://www.network54.com/Forum/246576/mess...7/312K+Up+Close Some quick pics with more formal ones to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 It's perfect! If I were buying a PAM, I would probably choose this model as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgodeep Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Congratulations @Projectologist!!! - a really great choice - you just have to love the 44mm 1950 case style and with the contemporary essentials of a date and that new automatic movement with a thicker case it's too die for!! Wear and enjoy always FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've said before but the 312 represents everything I like/want/need in a PAM. An almost perfect combination. I'm also down on my AD's list, but it'll be 2010 before I get the call Congrats on your new purchase, Pro(je)ctologist, just don't wear it 'on the job' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the 312 as it's the perfect combo of all things Panerai that I like. Out of curiosity, what is MSRP on this beaut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Out of curiosity, what is MSRP on this beaut? Well this side of the Pond, it currently comes in at 4300 euros - which for a 1950-type case, manifattura movt, and such an instantly classic design, is a frickin' steal in my book.
