The 312 has landed

I have been puttin off buying a Panerai long enough with all of my Anonimo Purchases.....Until now....Im not sure what to say other than the whole unboxing process was way beyond any i have had before......My 312 is the 1950 Manuffacture line with Panerai in house P9000 3 Day Movement.

It came with Rubber and Crocodile straps, I tried on the croc which is sweet and threw on the rubber.

Here are complete crap pics until I have some time.....Lint in the pics and all....It is Badass without a doubt due to the 1950 case....

The watch of a lifetime. ( For me anyway.) Congratulations!!!!!!!!

Sweet Panny.

Nothing wrong with those shots.

When you said "312" I automatically thought you had bought one of these 312s: (old habits die hard)

THAT is a FUCKING watch!

VERY COOL DUDE!

i just coughed up water reading that...Alan I love when you come out of your shell...well done....well done...

Looks like you have done it once again Eric with yet another EPIC watch, as well
as pick up ! Must be extra cool having a Panerai too since they kind of have a
connection to Anonimo also. ..You can really enjoy the similarities now I would
imagine, as well as the differences between the brands. Definitely am happy that
you were finally able to track one down to add to your collection. It's going to
feel right at home I think with the rest of your tremendous watches. Congrats
to you ! ..Honestly seems like there is a real Wow factor with Panerai watches.
You can genuinely tell that these truly are some of THE best watches out there,
and that's just from seeing the pictures. Think it has to do with all of the hard
work, detail, and design, amazing craftsmanship, and determination to make
a REALLY great watch that helps make Panerai so good. All you have to do is
take a short look at the cases with these, and you know right away that these
watches hold a lot of history, as well as just plain coolness within them. Taking
a look from the top of the watch is fantastic alone. The polished section around
the crystal is classic, and the way the case goes from circular to almost square
shaped is unforgettable also. However, when you view it from the sides the
watch REALLY takes you on a journey, as it's thickness first surprises you, and
then mesmerizes you with it's own unique angles, and shapes. Between the
excellent boat-like shape, and the brushing you just become stunned by the
beauty imho. Then to go along with that beauty, you also seem to have some
of the most technological touches like with that half circular crown protector,
and crown area. Honestly, seems like this watch could go many thousands of
feet below the water if you wanted to. It's ALL class, and VERY cool. A perfect
balance of beauty, and technology, as well as a meeting of the past with the
present. Even the dial is epic with it's legendary sandwich dial. The look of each
of those markers, as well as the style of the 6, 9, and 12 is one of those things
that is instantly recognizeable, and just awesome to see. The sub-dial is a neat
touch as well, and brings even more character to this one as well Eric. ..Those
hands are flawless too with their finish, along with lume color matching up just
right with the numbers, and markings. NICE !!! ..Add to that a TERRIFIC black
dial, classy, AND sporty straps, tools, along with one of THE nicest movements
you will EVER see, and this EPIC Panerai makes you say WOW ! Congratulations
once again on this Eric ! I hope you really enjoy !!!

Epic watch, along with pictures !
