    First Pam - Historic or Contemporary?

    For the Historic I was thinking of the base models, maybe the 005.

    For the contemporary, I had my heart set on the 312 or 359, but now slightly swayed towards the GMT power reserve models...

    Should I buy a historic model first??

    Hi..you might start with contemporary then later you'll feel the pull towards historic. My advice is get a historic piece..first choice would be a Zero then a Fiver

    All the best!

        The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

          Go for historic model, bro. A PAM000 will be a good start:-)

                If u like 312, u will buy it soon or later. Sandwich dial and 1950 case just too sexy, date function very handy.

                U prefer sandwich dial / thick case / date / see thru back? If yes, U cannot find all these in 005.

                I sold my 111 for 312 and never regret...

                All 3 are good watches. Buy the one you really really love!!

                        Go for historic, and a base model at that. In PAM, simplicity is the essence of beauty.

                          I started off with a 005, then a 233. I'm taking my time to decide on lucky number 3. 190, 390 & 372 are my contenders.
