Those are two totally different watches mate. One is a chrono, the other one isn't. One has tritium-like lume, the other one doesn't. One is a domed xtal, the other one isn't. Each one is good in it's own field, so it's kinda hard to say. In terms of accuracy and especially the movement, I'd go with the 212

I have the older, inaccurate, 212 and I love it... wish it had sapphire though.
I'm really starting to want a 359...

Hard decision... I'd have to lean 359 based on the sapphire crystal, the 212 mineral glass leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. If the 212 had sapphire, that would be my choice without question.

In case you couldn't tell... sapphire case crystals are very important to me... I'm somewhat rough on my daily wear watches.

Definitely the 212, but I'm just drawn to that chrono look.

359 for me too. The 212 looks a little bit too busy for me. I love the simplicity of Panerai and the 359 has too much going on. Going by the vote, though, I'm in the minority.

Go with what YOU like.

i'll take both coz they're both unique...but putting them side by side, the 212 draws me in more.. :)

I say 359 because it's the new girl on the block and the build quality is phenonmoal.

In these situations, its all about what one you want FIRST!

at this point, e only reason y i'd get e 359 is due to the limited stock available..

but as mentioned, i'd be happy with both, in any way..
