Pam 312 vs 351 vs 359

I can't own more than 1 for this watches since they are so similar. I prefer pick something else after owning 1 of these.

If you can pick only 1 till the rest of your life between these 3, which one will you buy?

As stated all are very similar. I like the 312 as a long time purchase based on the simple dial and the black color.

I picked 351 because of the Gold hands.

that's right!, but if I remember correctly I think the Pam 351 is the one with the tobacco dial, and that's a beautiful watch.

Luckily the case doesn't fit me, as I can't choose between the three. I like the all-polished case and arabics of the 359, the Ti and tobacco and gold hands of the 351, and the clean lines of the 312.

If I really had to choose, 351, but ask me in two days, and I'll probably have changed my mind.

I have a 359 and the reason I prefer it over the others is that it has Arabic hour markers for the 12 hours round the dial (save no.3 where the date window occupies the place where the no.3 should appear). It is the watch that can be easily identify from the other Luminor (at least to me).

I like the 359 - mainly because of the polished case, but the 351 is stunning with the gold hands and brown dial. Additionally, 351 will probably hold its value much more so than the other two...IMO

Had a 312 sold it, now have a 359 (and love it) wow, the 351 is special as well !

I would toss a coin between the 359 / 351. As good as the 312 is, the other two are bit more special and different for me.

351... because I justed picked one up a couple of days ago! The tobacco dial / gold hands combo is why I chose it over the 312 / 320. Wanted some color since my other watch is also silver / black.

Same here. I had a 359 and it got boring.

Ti body, gold hands & tobacco dial is a great combo.
So it's the 351 for me

I do not own a Pam, but if I were buying I have always liked very much the 351. Good luck with your choice.

I had to make the same decision when I was buying my 2nd PAM. I was very close between 351 and 359. I went with 359 because after trying on the 351. I didn't like how the Ti case felt. Plus the 359 is just so distinctive from other PAM's. Its one of my favorite modern PAM's.
