PAM 312 vs 359
OK - I think I'm choosing one of these two. I really like the face of the 359. But the 312 also is incredible. Which one is more awesome?

Of these two I prefer the 312
The all-polished case of the 359, and the slightly hard-to-read dial (imho) put me off Essentially, though, they are the same watch

312 was my first and with the excitment with the newer releases, I still think its the best package for a daily wearer at a good price..
the 233 may sit a bit lower but its almost twice as much... the 359 is all polished and you gotta love the numbers on the dial

I didn't know it was against the rules to change my mind once getting to the AD. Okay, I'll return my new watch and get one of the two mentioned above so your time isn't wasted.
 Btw, how do you know I still won't get one or both of them?

I picked up the PAM 24 Submersible. I tried it on and it was just magic. It's actually the very first PAM that captured my attention about a year ago. After that, I started to get into many of the other models. But I guess nothing compares to your first crush.
