Thoughts on PAM 312 or 372
I know they are totally different watches but I'm going back and forth between these two.I have tried both on and even thought the 372 is 47mm, it felt just as comfortable if not more comfortable than the 312 case due to the thickness/height.The manual wind also seems a little more solid than the p.9000?For people that have had both. What do you think? It will be my only Panerai for the time being. I like the simplicity of the 372 but do you find it to be too big for an everyday watch?Thanks for helping me make up my mind!

Anyone brushed a SS SkyDweller?
Would love to see if anyone has had their SS Skydweller brushed. Thinking of doing it if/when I get one from my AD. Love the functionality of the piece, but not so hot on PCLs.
