      All 3 are nice
      Cant go wrong with 1950 case and inhouse movement
      I chose 320 over the other 2 because it offers a lot more watch at a slightly higher msrp
      (About sg2k diff)

        All 3 watches will wear the same..same feel same chunk(PAM351 will feel lighter as it is titanium) same movement(P9000 series..PAM320 has a little modification for GMT function)..it all depends on which detail you prefer..do you need GMT function? DO you prefer titanium to steel? Do you think the price difference is worth it?

        I have a PAM312..GMT function does nothing for me so PAM320 was out of question..thot of PAM351..liked the titanium but prefer the black dial on the PAM312..plus PAM312 was cheaper so went ahead and bought it!

          351! The brown dial matched perfectly with the gold markers. Thumbs up!

              It's more of personal preference so no need a guru to advise.

              For me PAM should be simple so complications aren't a plus for me.

              I am not a titanium person but I love the gold hands of 351.

              So 351 wins by a small margin vs 312.

              But if it's my money, none of those 3.

                Hi,
                I own a 111. Facing the same problem like u few mths ago.
                After trying all of them n consider carefully, found out that
                they all look alike to my 111, except the date/1950 case.
                Of course there are something extra here n there...in-house,
                Ti etc..but look wise, too similar!
                In the end I go for a sub 305, loving it so much and
                never looked back! Just MHO.

                Best rgds

                    I was thinking about a 305 as well. However, I think the regular Pams are more versatile. I dun really need the GMT function. I understand that the 320 is a 9001 movement, which has a quick second set function, how does this work?

                    For now, I think the 312 should suffice. but I have going to have a good look at the 351. Dun really like the brown strap that comes with it.

                      AFAIK the 320 offers the functionality of adjusting just the hour hand in distinct clicks, whilst leaving the minute hand as it is. Of course, one can also change the time in the 'traditional' way to set the hours/mins.

                      As a matter of personal preference, I prefer the 320 solely because of the GMT function. I travel frequently so it's always nice to have a GMT hand to help me keep track of the time zones. If you do not need the 320 like you mentioned, then I guess the 312 will suffice just as well!

                        Not guru, but my choice is the 320, my only PAM.
                        The reason is simply because i need the GMT hand as i travel quite often.

                        In any case, u can always 'hide' the 12 hour GMT hand behind the hour hand.
                        When i am overseas, i just set the hour hand to the local time and i have both the local and Sin time displayed!
                        Kinda convenient.

                        Really, your preference.
                        Buy the watch u like and not for others.
                        Enjoy your new purchase in good health soon

                          Hi there, I was having the exact same dilemma a month ago. I own a 111 and considering adding either 312, 320, 351 or 359 to my collection. But i would say this is definitely a good situation to be in, since you are going to add a another pam to your collection..

                          Guess what, I'm now a proud owner of my Pam 320. Reason why I chose 320 over the rest is because I work London hours and the GMT function would be useful since I can easily look at both SG and LDN timing on my 320.. I can even hide the GMT hand to look like a 312 if decides not to display the GMT hand during weekends..

                          Pick 320 if GMT is useful for you. If not, go with your heart with what your heart tells you..

                          No matter which model you pick, you have already made the right decision to own a contemporary PAM.

                              I vote PAM 351 for the tobacco sandwiched dial and gold hands.
