About to take the dive, help required
Hi Folks,
I am a Rolex fan normally have a Submariner and a day date in white gold. I want another sports type watch and am now loving the Pams. I am based in Dubai and the local AD has the following in stock. Pam 164 - USD 5900, I love the brown deployment clasp on this and do like the face. I think I prefer the date window in this model. Pam 312 - USD 6800. I do like this too, but is it worth more than the 164? Any help suggestions would be much appreciated or alternatives. I am happy to go up to approx 8000 USD for the right watch. Thanks Paz |

I prefer the cleaner look of the 312's dial....like the case over the 164...also no cyclops looks better on PAMs IMO + sandwich dial inc Calibre P.9000 movement & 3 days power reserve. I'd go the extra...for a 1st PAM the 312 would be hard to beat.

Agree with Dalip on the 312. You should also look at the PAM000 base - the Panerai equivalent of the Sub no-date.

seems the 312 is the winner!
Thanks again all.
I will be visiting the AD this afternoon. Think I would also like a brown strap of sorts, also a deployment clasp.....just loved it on my IWC Portugese, incidently that is making way for the PAM! Will post pictures once the deal is done! Thanks again |

If you like the dial, the 359 would be my choice over the 164. As an only Pam I have to say the 312 is hard to beat.
