All very valid points, thanks for the input..

..appreciate it, and indeed it has helped me make my mind up, going for the 306. A few reasons why, firstly the watch will be a daily wearer for me, and as I have worn a 1950 8day Luminor for the past few years, I have been impressed with the robustness of the watch. I am a big chap at 6'5" and wear a 44mm watch comfortably,47mm is just about ok, I have a feeling that as a daily wearer the 48mm might be a little big.

I also am indeed smitten with the brown dial, as I have not had one before, so that will be a nice refresh from the black. Also I do have a Radiomir 197 in gold, so if I feel like a radiomir day then I can still have one! And last but by no means least, saving of $15k helps too

Sorted!...hmmm but then again i do like Platinum!... No 306 it is, will post up some pics when it arrives, cheers

As you have already indicated your preference on luminor case and given the price advantage, it's easy to lean toward the 306. Having said that, I would like to state a few counter-points: -When you're getting into complication like in house tourbillon, I...
