Really hard to let others make the choice for you Chris!

Choose the one that sings out the most to you, and if you can afford the Platinum, then go ahead with it!

Although i would not recommend Pt for a Panerai, because it doesnt fit with Panerai's history, and a Panerai is often all about it's historical significance!

I love Platinum too, in fact most of my watches are Pt, BUT i would NEVER get a Pt panerai, for a panerai, it must be either SS ( which is historically correct) or Titanium ( which i bet my life on that if it was available back then, all Pannies would have been crafted out of this metal,but since such was not the case, a metal truly fit for a 21st century Panny) not anything else, especially not precious metals.

Hope this helps you just that small bit!

But in anycase, keep us informed of your decision, we'd all be very happy for you!

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...

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 o...

Great! Looking forward to your pictures!
