Pam 243, 212 or 1088?
I have narrowed my options to these three models. The 1088 is the cheapest and the 243 and 212 are at the same price point. I have been trying to decide for couple a weeks now and just can't make up my mind. Any suggestions?

These 3 make for a great collection!
If only one, that’s hard, as they are so different…. |

The flyback is by far the best choice out of these 3. The GMT hasn't been very popular, not sure why, it's a really nice watch and yes is cheap to aquire. The Sub 1000m is so thick I'd find it very difficult to wear everyday. It will get in the way more then you imagine. I love the flyback' s round crystal and thick 12/6 numbers. It's a winner

The flyback.
Because it has domed crystal and no date magnifier

Another vote for the Flyback here
The GMT Looks off with its Grey Seconds and Reversed Cyclops (too me) The Sub is cool and would be my second choice out of those 3 |

212 owners, does this look "fishy" to you?
The first image is from another 212 and the officine panerai is in the middle of the rotor. https://imgur.com/a/AarhQKH In my watch that came today it reads on the bottom of the rotor and the "30 jewels" font is also bigger? That is weird to me... https://imgur.com/a/S6w2rM6 Ok, I think it is just a production year issue. I found another pic from H-series and it has the same rotor!! |

At first your photos look more like a replica than a genuine PAM, but I do see the H series ones you found too. Interesting that they would change it. Hope you enjoy it!
