Any thought on 320?
 
Looking around to add a PAM to my collection and came across a 320 that I thought is a pretty good all rounder. However, looking through all the discussion here and looking like 320 doesn't get much love or any 3 day GMT model for that matter. Is there any reason why? Or is there a better model that I should aim for?

Hide the 24-hour hand and you basically have the 312. Nice and clean. :thumbsup:

For me, though, the 1950s case is too top heavy, so, for a GMT PAM, I would look first at the 233 or 88. :cheers:

I agree with Cru as the 1950s cases are top heavy unless you put on a thick strap...the 233 is a great recommendation as it has hand wound movement and is a bit thinner

One of my fave PAMS.
A super-clean GMT which is 12 hrs but easy enough to use.
Has some interesting features over the similar-looking 312 e.g. zero seconds reset and a small power reserve indicator on the back of the movement.

i just currently added the 320 to my collection and i must say its a beautiful piece.. an all rounder for daily use..

i too, do agree that there isnt much love for the 1950 GMT however i am really happy with it..

Would go 233 also. I had one for a couple of years and was a really nice watch. Would still have it if it wasnt for the 372.

Lots of love here for the 320!
Great piece, gorgeous. I wear mine on a bracelet which balances the heaviness mentioned quite nicely. Although it does makes for an even heavier watch all around. This is my favorite Pam and feel that it is a true modern Panerai classic.

I like the 320, but decided to go for the 312 for the slightly cleaner PAM look while still providing a date function. Not to mention I very rarely use a GMT function. Always go with what you like though.


All times are GMT +10. The time now is 12:38 PM.
