Joey, your line up is perfect! Really love that trio. But for the love of God, don't leave your PAM hanging unsecured over the bathroom tile!!!

I love the 312. Something about the 50's case which I love so much. Don't flip any of your Rolexes. Just make the 312 your next purchase!

Carlos, I would sleep on the decision for a few days to make certain you are not being impulsive. If you still want the watch and the money is not a problem keep the Rolexes and buy the Pam outright.....

Thank you Andrew! I was VERY careful with the 312 when I was over the tile floor... but if it slipped.... oh man!

PAM 312 is great - do it man!

Or even better, the 320 with the über-cool seconds reset thingy...



Cheers

Keep the sub and save for the 312 or sell somthing else. The 312's arent going anywhere any time soon. The 44 mm panerais seem to be much more popular then the 40mm no matter the wrist size. PAM's are big watch's which is somthing y0u'll just have to get used to when wearing it but once you do the sub will feel to small. keep in mind its real easy to change the strap on a 312 which is part of the fun by giving it a new look. come to the dark side!!!

6.75 wrist huh?

Well, we're twins!!!

Perfect then!

Here is what it'll look like. It fits just right, can't go any bigger. I have it on 3 different straps: black/black alligator, black/white alligator, cashmere (all OEMs). I tried to give you pics of straight on so you can really see how it sits relative to the wrist.

And one of the pics is just to give you a preview of the whole shabang when you buy your 312!!

Enjoy!

The PAM 312 sure is a beautiful watch!

You can totally change the look of this watch by putting on a different strap... (which by the way only takes like 2 sec's on the new models)




On a nice 5mm thick tan leather...




But I don't think you should sell you Sub so fast... I am sure you will miss it!


My personal opinion of the PAM and Rolex is this...

The Rolex (any rolex) is a go anywhere... anytime... kinda watch...
This is because with the steel strap you don't have to worry about getting it wet, playing on the beach, sporting, cooking etc...

But the PAM I find is not!


Good luck with your decision!

Kevin, is that the pam you bought from your last gtg last january? Too bad I wasnt able to join. Do you mind me asking the discount you got? I was offered an 8% off or 49680hkd. Is that good enough?

IMO while very unique, they are just too big for most ppl...you basically don't see any bracelet when staring at it straight on...not my cup of tea, and I generally prefer the larger watches.
