boy10.gifWell here the result of my disaster of a purchase (in the begining)-In the end it was made right & this is the final outcome.  I wired the $$ (YEP I said that WIRED) on Thursday it was here by 10:15am on FRIDAY--All in-house Panerai312, 1950's styled case,Automatic-44mm brushed s/s case w/ polished bezel,date @ the 3 w/o a cyclops,blk sandwhich dial,3 day power reserve.The case captures  it's rich history IMO, & this is the reason I purchased the 312.I wanted the old style look but w/ todays components like auto w/ date. & I gotta say OP hit the nail on the head w/ it's new strap changing system, no chances for the ugly slippage on the lugs.my love.gif



















Thanks Will & Rolf I dont believe I would be posting these pics If it were'nt for the 2 of you's help on getting my $$ backthankyou.gif

Just the way it should be! Congrats William! I'm glad that I've been making this dream possible for you after this legendary twisted scam.
This time-piece is superb in every details: I'm sure that you will drool everyday you wear it.
This movement is an achievement for Panerai as it is a solid base for many other complications: You should enjoy it for years to come.

Super Congrats William!!!! Thumbsup3.gif

Agree with you...the 312 has an amazing combination of spot-on design elements...has to be one of my favorite PAM's hands down.

No doubt you will enjoy this one for a long time.

Very nice William...congratsbravo.gifLove the date application, but  IMHO they should have left the seconds application off to keep the dial balanced.

Long road, but glad it worked outthumbsup.gif
