I can't decide between the two. Very similar, but when you shopping online, it's tough to make a decision. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Was in the same boat.... got the 312. Been content with my decision ever since.

Ya, that's what I'm leaning towards, but seems like the 312 is harder to get.

312 of course. You will never regret. Good luck.

As the others have said the 312. Personally I'm not a fan of the Ti cases but that's a personal preference.

B. Doggy · 17 January 2010, 04:33 AM

312!

Nahligah · 17 January 2010, 04:35 AM

312 no doubt!

312!!

312 for many reasons:

inhouse movement
1950s case
domed crystal
sandwich dial
display caseback

i personally like the 312 better. however, i'd recommend that you tried both watches on, lay them side by side. and see which one speaks to you more. this is from my personal experience, by the way - seeing watches up close on your wrist helps you make the decision that is personally yours. nothing beats trying them on. good luck with your decision.

312

I have the 177 and I think it is a great watch.
The titanium isn't super light like some other brand titanium watches and I find the 177 very comfortable and a good size at 44mm. If this was stainless steel I might not feel quite the same about it.

There is no doubt the 312 is a great watch with the inhouse movement and that may just get it over the line against the 177.

The 312 also has the advantage (at least in my mind) of having a nicer shape case an automatic movement and a date feature (without the cyclops).

m_reign · 17 January 2010, 06:42 AM

312 without a doubt...

Rolex Freak · 17 January 2010, 08:34 AM

Thanks everyone, it's sounds like the 312 is it. I was leaning towards that anyways, just seems like it's more difficult to get. Thanks again.

adamli629 · 17 January 2010, 09:25 AM

For me, I am more prefer 312.

HL65 · 17 January 2010, 09:53 AM

You'd really have to physically try it out and fit them on your wrist to decide..
