Officine Panerai

So I've knocked off the 90 from my search and add the 233 and 312.  my concern with the 312 is the thickness of the case but I do like the 3 day power reserve compared to the 40 hour on the 104.  thoughts on those 2 watches as well as the more expensive 233?

thanks for your help!

...233 is one of the best Panerai pieces in the current line up.
The domed crystal + the 1950 case design makes it really sexy my friend! The 8 Days PR movement is also a good link with the "old days".
Great complicated watch ( GMT, Zero reset, Long PR, easy strap change system, am/pm indication, 3 barrels....)

Once you try on...you are death!

Love the 8-days in-hse movements, 1950 casing and the dome sapphire crystal ...

Forsake the rest.

No message body

don't think thickness, weight or even functions should matter among your choices, it comes down to style and budget!
If budget allows, 233 all the way, i consider it the most worthy modern pam (in terms of money for value, style and functions) .
I'll leave 104 out of the equation tho...

I'm just not sure i want to spend that much on the 233 for now so that is why i was looking at the 312 and the 104....of those two, is there a reason to choose one over the other? 

And then between the PAM312 or PAM104, I'd definitely get the PAM312 because I think the 312 is more "pretty", has an in-house movement, and has the more sexy Luminor 1950 case. 

Cheers,
Anthony

I've had both 217 and 233 and I can still go back to enjoy 351 (a 312 in Titanium) but I can never go back to a 104!
Pls refer to my Panerai journey here

8 day power reserve, great dial layout (I prefer the original dot am/pm indicator), 1950 case, and dome crystal makes for one of the best looking watches in Panerai's collection.

I've never actually tried 312 on my wrist.. But on some of my friend's it looks great... Good thing about it is that it has a date without cyclops on the crystal...
Cyclops didn't bother me before.. But lately it's really bothering me because it ruined the purity of the design...

And the 233 to me is the Panerai to have if you're only going to own one Panerai.. It's the best of both world, it has the beauty of vintage panerai with 1950 case and domed crystal and it also has date and GMT function, as well as the 8 days power reserve (very practical and strongly linked a strong history with the vintage panerais)

So I really hope you get what is best for you...

Best regards,
