Vuralism 0 Posted February 19, 2015 Hi all, After 6 months of being in this world and originally disliking PAM's I like a lot of people have turned around to like the look and history this posses. After reading, and reading and well you get the idea! I have narrowed the look and feel of the PAMs that speak to me, they look pretty similar to each other, but have different movements! I know its a personal choice but just wanted to see what the smart folks who have or also want to get these could give their opinions, after all I think of you as my family I like the simplicity of the 111 dial, I am concerned about the date window for the 312/328 since I don't think I would wear it everyday and already dislike updating my boctok every now and then BUT love the 1950 case look. Movement wise these are all super or first class reps so that's all good. So over to you Thanks! PAM111 PAM 312 PAM 328 PAM 510 Admin edit: Poll removed to prevent further bumping due to votes. PAM111 won by a clear margin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ishmael 92 Posted February 19, 2015 I vote a mix between the 111 and the 510 - the 511. Rose gold is purdy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phanphy 0 Posted February 19, 2015 I've actually owned both the 111 and the 510! They're both stunning watches (quite similar in appearance), but I prefer the 510 KW because of the unique movement Either way, you won't go wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dhistory 0 Posted February 19, 2015 Have you ever tried on PAMs? After going to an AD to try them on for the first time, I realized the case on the 1950 was too thick. I think the 111 has a slightly thinner case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chavezzito 121 Posted February 19, 2015 I think that unless you put up a pic of them so that we don't have to google them I will not vote ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't gone to an AD but according to ALE's guide PAM 111 is 17mm thick PAM 312 is 16.5mm thick PAM 510 is 15 mm thick so this is much of a muchness IMO sizewise at least.

Jonnybaws 5,280 Posted February 19, 2015 312... The end! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 1108 0 Posted February 19, 2015 Have the 328 - wear it daily. Have a 127 like it, but manual wind is a pain in the ass every day. Have a Fifty Fathoms - new favorite. Want 438O Ceramic (Tuttonero) Manual wind without date = weekend watch. Gotta have the date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted February 20, 2015 Most probably 510 because of the sandwich dial. Maybe the 312.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chavezzito 121 Posted February 20, 2015 I think that unless you put up a pic of them so that we don't have to google them I will not vote ;-) lol happy? Very much, thank you! I vote for the 312! Don't know why but in the pictures it's the one I like best and I need a date on my watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted February 20, 2015 The 1950 case on the 312 is just that bit more stylish than the normal luminor case on the other 2. I got my 312 last week and its my favourite pam and one of my favourite watches. I think the only thing that could beat it is the 438 if I ever get round to buying one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BentleySharp 0 Posted February 20, 2015 I have a 312, but I would say go with the 328 if it comes on a SS bracelet... That way you've got the bracelet if you want it. If you buy a Panerai on a rep leather strap, you'll just have to replace the strap anyway. They are garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.Rico 1 Posted February 20, 2015 Every pam lover must have a 111 , beleive me you will not be disappointed ,6497 movements are very good . mine says hello Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to agree with you that it definitely would be nice to have the bracelet option, although the rep strap on my KW 312 wasn't actually bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avrahamk1 0 Posted February 20, 2015 PAM 111 V3, it's on my wish list also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strozzi 1 Posted February 20, 2015 Love all of them, but as I get older I find the polished cases a bit too flashy. Gradually swapping to brushed and titanium cases, a bit softer and elegant IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How have you found the cases to be regarding dings and scratches? another reason why you are moving to brushed and titanium? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seand83 0 Posted February 21, 2015 I chose between the same watches when I was deciding what to go with. I went 111. And love the thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted February 21, 2015 The 111 is thicker than the 312?? I have both and you can't go wrong with either. The SS bracelet becomes heavy IMO. The 312 is a bit more stylish I feel. The 1950 case is less common than the Luminor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vuralism 0 Posted February 22, 2015 There is a lot of love for the 111 hehe My wife banned me from purchasing anything until christmas as we have a little on on the way, thanks for your input and keep your votes going. meanwhile I will figure out a way to acquire items with a valid reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dochere2 0 Posted February 28, 2015 111... Good looking watch, more accurate than the other two from a rep standpoint, good price point and plenty of room for improvement should you get the mod bug... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
