Sure. I have a rad.. The 183. And love it. Simple. Clean. Manual wind. If I were to get another Pam it would be the 88. Sheer complication. Love the dial. Great feel when I tried it on.

312 for me!
Sandwich dial, date, in house movement, exhibition back. I tried on a 88 but I want for 312. |

There are other Pam's in my future but the first was the 88. I really like the GMT feature as well as the large hands. Lume is super and the watch is very easy to read in any lighting conditions.

I have both the 88 and 312 and really like both. If I was choosing my first PAM I'd go with the 312 personally, reasons would be the cleaner dial, in-house movement, 1950 case...

Wow, that's a tough call. I would also go 88. It was my first Pam as well and for me just has that special something.
Not the rarest knife in the drawer, never the less the combination of the dial and GMT feature make it so suitable for anything. |

The 312 for me. It's a classic style. Not a huge fan of the 88 hands.

The 312 would be my choice. Its an instant panerai icon.
The 88 is a great watch, love everything about it except the silver subdial.. |

You need to try them on and decide for yourself. I personally don't find the 1950's case as comfortable as the others, but you might like it. Comfort plays a huge role in my watch purchase, other people go of look of the watch.
Everyone opinion is so different when it comes to watches, I can't tell you which to buy. In the end they are all great watches, you really can't make a bad choice, just get the one that you want on your wrist.

Although I like the 312 a lot, I would buy the 88 if I were you. It makes me smile every time I look at it. I never regretted buying it. Just look at it it's gorgeous....
