Just received this 312 yesterday. I think it is better than some of the cheaper 312's that some dealers are selling (which have a "3" on the dial next to the date window, which is wrong). Only $108 shipped. For the money, it is obviously not even going to be close to some of the more expensive reps, but for a daily beater, I love it. Case and CG are brushed steel, bezel is polished, and it has a sandwich dial, per the gen. The movement is completely wrong, but the gen has the P.9000 movement so that is a given. Dial is not really black, but more of a matte dark grey, so that is another issue, but I plan to install a grey nubuck shark strap I just received, so I think it will look nice with the grey dial. If I am wrong about some of the gen specs, someone can correct me. Anyway, here are the pics...
