for me i will go for the brush 1950 casing. polish and brush combination really brings out the watch.

Dear PAM Collectors,

Can you give me some advice? I was thinking to upgrade my PAM to a automatic as i am tired of winding my PAM 111...I was thinking of 104 or 312.

I am drawn to PAM 104 as it is much affortable as it can be obtain under $7000 from grey dealer and it has the the same casing as PAM 111. The things i do not like of PAM 104 is the non clear back and the crownguard. Thew newer entry level PAM has already upgraded their crownguard except PAM 104.

For 312, i like everything except that i read the review in the forum that it looks bigger and fatter than the entry level PAMs due to its casing and the higher price than PAM 104. i have a small wrist about 6.5 inch and i am worried it looks awkward on me.

I assure u gonna like the 312 wif no issue over your wrist at 6.5" . Mine was a puny 6.3" & I love how it look on me " Here my pam351 similar case size in titanium "

Really love the 351, it has a nice class to it! But $1k exp than 312.

312 on the wrist! You will grow to love it. I know I did!!!

104 is nice, esp the chromy look. But bear in mind it gets scratched more easily than the brushed casing of 312, so it may be more obvious, esp if you wear it as a daily beater!

cool....so many people say 312 is the best... think i will get 312!

312 !!! u will be impress wif the weight on your wrist bro trust me bro " go for the kill "

Yes. 312 is a more complete watch and worth the price. The movement and 3day reserve is worth the extra cost. Go for it.

ok, i decided to get the 312 after so many positive feedback on 312!!! Thanks.

Yea bro! Get the 312! The 1950 case + sandwich dial + display back is great!!!

Btw bro, what do you mean by "The newer entry level PAM has already upgraded their crownguard except PAM 104."???

Cos the crown guard is the older style type.

I guess he is referring to non-symetric CG ( Non-SLY tech CG)

I have relatively slim wrists of abt 6.5" too and personally, I prefer the 1950 casing (of Pam 312) to the standard Luminor casing (of Pam 104) ... Suggest you try on the watches and see which sings at you more ...

Some wrist-shots ...

get the 104,not worth paying the extra $$$ for a 312..the 3day power reserve is rubbish,its just like any other automatic watch.
the 312 is heavy n uncomfortable like i mentioned in earlier post.
if u track back a few mths in sg-roc postings,there were many pre-owned 312 on sale in the market..many of the sellers did not even own the watch for more than a year.these are some of the tell tale signs about the 312..
u will not go wrong with the 104..go for it!
