both of them have a lot of flaws and are far from being close to the gen, but both are beautiful and you can't go wrong with either of them

Defs 212, make sure you get the one on the face that has TACHYMETER but where the 'T' in METER lines up with the number one bar! :lol:

May I ask why? Is this simply closer to the genuine, or is this is an identifying feature of a new/better model?

Thanks

The genuine ones have that ! :lol:

My vote is with the 212. It just looks more 'classic' to me.

Get the new version (212) with AR crystal and correct movement.

Thanks, those pictures are great. I have PM'd PT asking the price for the 253. I had been moving towards the 212 but your pictures and the greater accuracy of 253 (plus the strap on the 253 - I don't like the carbon fibre on the 212) are swaying me towards the 253 now.

Ah decisions decisions...
