WELCOME To TRF's PANERAI FORUM!!!

My choice is 233. Why? Because HOT!!!

8 Days with linear indicator & GMT.
312, only 3 Days power reserve.

A proper comparison would be 320. Which is 312 with GMT hand and PR at back. 312 doesn't have GMT hand.

Choosing between 312 and 233, depends on preference and budget. For me, 233 no question.

The more proper question should be asked: 104 or 312?

Thank you guys..., my mind is made up... 233 it is... i will be posting the pics as soon as i recieve it..
the only thing that attracted ne to the 312 was that it is sandwiched dial (same as 233 which i lobve) and it is slightly domed which makes it a bit more elegant.. but falling in love with 233 came out unscaved.
I am excited.. ARKTOS + 233... whant is next??? maybe a radomire...

hahahah

For functionality the 233 or if you want the simplicity that every PAM offers the 312.
