305 or 323?

Hello! I love visiting this forum even if i rarely post!

Yesterday i went to my ad to check the 305 that he had received. I had yet to see one in the metal and it was supposed to be my next purchase  and my second panerai after the 312.

But while visiting i saw the 323 radiomir and what a pleasant surprise it was! Much better than what the photos promised. The circular PR resulted very well and well it is a 47mm radiomir and that is always a plus! And the strap was simply beautiful and complemented the watch perfectly and added even more to its charm!

But the downside of this is that now i am torn between the two. I still find the 305 a beatiful watch with its 47mm diameter and muscular case. It is a big watch but the titanium makes it very user friendly. The main difference between the 305 and the 323 is that the radiomir in spite of also being 47mm is also a very elegant while the sub is a much more muscular and thicker watch.

The 323 has a different movement than the 312 but a similar dial, while the 305 has the same p9000 mov but a different dial and case even if it is based on the luminor with the crown guard.

Both of them looked very good on my wrist!

My other watches are: ROO black themes, pam312, JLC EWC and an IWC big pilot(also has a circular PR). Wich one  could compliment more my collection?

I know this a personnal decision but it is good to hear the opinions of others instead of jumping right in! So any help and opinions would be very helpful!

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Best regards
