If your first PAM, then the 312 (Not a big fan of the Cali dial). If you already have a classic dialed PAM or Luminor, then the Cali by default.

Of the two, the 312. Look at the 422, it might work.

424 is beautiful but the date (not the logo) looks a bit out of place in the cali dial.
312 on the other hand is drop dead sexy

312, just because of the 1950 case.

249 over 424, IMO. But 424 over 448.

312 is a great option if it fits you (1950 case can be top heavy on wrists - a common complaint).

I'm partial to the 424. Purchased one last week and love it. Purist make not appreciate the date, but it works for me. That said, you can't go wrong with either choice.

424 looks very nice on your wrist.

if you want to be more commercial go with 312,

if you dare to be different i choose 424.

For me i choose 424, because its more rare
