PAM Expert out there need your advise I am thinking getting my first PAM but I narrow down 312, 351 or 359 what do you suggestion? I owned a DSSD so 312 weight should not be an issue for me. Which one will be a day to day watch?

dalip · 10 September 2011, 02:42 PM

All excellent choices....

I had a good look at the 359 the other day...compared to the 312 that would be my choice. They didn't have a 351 so I'm not sure what that would have done to my thinking. But the 359 is just that bit different with the dial and numbers....looks great in different lighting.

Well, the are all the exact same movement and case shape.

Just aesthetics at this point.

My choice would probable by the 351, 312, 359. But no one is more valuable or more desirable than the others.

Good luck

nauticajoe · 10 September 2011, 11:17 PM

Of the 3, I prefer the 312.

joleel7 · 10 September 2011, 11:28 PM

Thanks you all for the input.

rolexcd · 10 September 2011, 11:35 PM

I would suggest 312 which is my first PAM!!!

dddrees · 10 September 2011, 11:36 PM

The perfect one is the one you like the best.

This is the one you will tend to be the most pleased with.

snog · 11 September 2011, 07:40 AM

you never know your AD maybe willing to discount one over the others? which could help you choose.

joleel7 · 11 September 2011, 08:08 AM

There is only one AD here in Toronto so don't think they will give much discount.. I most likely will buy from TRF that's why turn to PAM owner for advise

Gagebuilder · 11 September 2011, 08:36 AM

Go with your heart, really.

I'm no PAM expert, was even at an AD that had a Panerai rep. there, probably 25 watches on hand, none appealed to me. But, a couple months ago, saw a used PAM 171, thought it was great, bought it on the spot. Never bought a watch like that, without any reasearch, but I'm still quite happy with my PAM.

CoachRolexRyan · 12 September 2011, 12:07 PM

I have a DSSD as well. I suggest (and own) a 320 GMT. Check it out you"ll be glad you did. It has it all plus the GMT feature and a power reserve on the back. Gmt hand is hidden when not in use. Very cool!

joleel7 · 13 September 2011, 07:30 AM

Thanks guy most likely i will go for 351 for me.. I really like the 233 as well but over my budget for my first PAM.

jacksonian · 13 September 2011, 07:56 AM

351 is gorgeous. As said, hard to go wrong with any of those 3.
