I can't decide!

Hello Everybody,

Earlier today I swung by my local Panerai dispensary and took a look at my next purchase. PAM 90 vs. PAM 321.

Just wanted to get peoples opinions on either or. The only thing that I don't like is the GMT hand on the 321. But it doesn't stick out all that much so I think I can get over it.

Just in case, is there a comparable PAM that doesn't have a GMT hand?

321 (and plz think about that 320 I told you about - wink-wink)

p.s. Ok, 'I didn't see the GMT issue... well then the 312 is a better bet!

Haven't handled the 321, but, can't one "hide" the GMT hand?

Anyway, both look good! If the GMT hand bothers you, then 90 is the one.

Unless you've considered the 423?

You can hide the GMT hand without issue. This said, go for that one if it sings to you.

Exhibition back and no cyclops date, I vote 321!
The 90 is sweet though, as I happen to like complicated dials.

Why not go for the 312? Very similar to 321 but no GMT and power reserve :) Simpler, better, cheaper as well!
