    When I tried both the PO & the SOH on I just could't decide.
    That's why my 8 year old made the decision.

      Have you seen the PAM312?
      I think that with the exception of some of the Special Editions, inparticular the 1950, the 312 is just about perfect, 1950 case, sandwich dial, automatic & non-magnified date.
      Bloody gergeous !!!

            I seriously lust after one of those Panerai watches  😘 Elegant rugged simplicity. This is what James Bond would chose if he wasn't for the big fat Omega contract he's chained too.

                  Wow Dexter, you have been through a few, haven't you?  Gotta agree with your final choice, too.  The ultimate in simplicity- not even a second hand.

                  Triple- you're right, the 312 is fantastic.  As much as I love simplicity in a watch, I do like to have a date window.  And don't get me started on those godawful bubble magnifiers.  Ugh, I hate those things.

                    Hectic, I wish you hadn't put that link on the thread !
                    The only watch that I think looks kinda right with a date magnifier is a Rolex Submariner.
                    Gotta agree with Simon, 007 should wear a Panerai !
                    I can't watch the scene on the train in Casino Royale when Vesper mentions the watch, talk about product placement & fuckin' embarrassing !!!

                          Just on a side note, wasn't Stallone wearing U-Boat watches for a while?

                          Looking forward to the pics, Triple.

                                    Do it G. Once you go Panerai any other watch will pale in comparison. Just like IH for denim!

                                      The only other watch I really lust after, IWC Big Pilots Watch.
                                      At £8500.00 it's gonna have to wait a while.

                                        I swear, Triple, it's like you're in my head.  I, too lust after the Big Pilot.  I was in Las Vegas a while back and wandered into Bellusso in the Palazzo.  It was deserted, so I ended up talking watches with the lone sales guy.  After about 15 minutes, he started handing over various lovely things for me to try on; Vacheron Constantins, Breguets, Glashutte Originals, even a tourbillon from FP Journe that cost damn near as much as my house.

                                        As wonderful as they all were, the only one that I really wanted was the IWC.

                                          The BP is a good watch. The new dial is cleaner but I also like the previous generation, 5002.

                                          The only thing that bothers me about the BP is the way the crown guard can dig into your wrist and the leather strap/clasp is setup backwards. The tail goes on the underside of your wrist, opposite direction compared to PAMs.

                                          Just some pet peeves. I'd still be happy if I owned one but I'll probably spend the $ on a Panny instead.  😉 😉
