My first Panerai

Hello Pierre,

Congrats with your watch and the beautiful straps.  I have been a fan of both the 111 and the 164 for a long time, but like you the new 312 has now really caught my attention.   When you can get the black sandwich dial, the Luminor 1950 case, the exhibition caseback, an automatic in-house movement and the brushed case and polished bezel, in one watch, what else can you demand?

As I am living in Norway with no Panerai AD, I have a couple of questions to you:

When you ordered your 312, did you get the impression that the model was hard to get?

When you bought your 164 in another country than your own, did you get the VAT refunded when you got back to Belgium?     

The reason I ask is that I have a house in Spain, and intend to visit the Panerai dealer in Alicante.  If he doesn't have it in stock, I can possibly order it and buy it on my next visit.

Best regards/wishes from

Erik
