Pam 312

Hi All,

I was able to find a 312 in stock and was quoted for 5 percent off. What do you think? Do you guys think more discounts are upcoming? I am not really looking for a watch at this time, but I really really like the 312.

Jack

If you like it buy it, market is depressed and the economy doesn't seem to be getting better soon so if you are buying it in hopes of making money I'd pass. If you like it I do not think you will do much better than 5% at this time as it is new and hot. If you like it get it, not one for me though.

I was offered 10% off plus extra strap and winder. I think you can do more.

Either is better than the deal I got...retail + sales tax, no extra strap and when I asked about a winder they scoffed at me. Looks like the only business they will continue to get from me will be the occasional strap.

I'll sell you mine for 10% off with no tax. BNIB! Never left the box. I did open the box to look at it. Warranty card is blank.

I just picked up my 312, which is my first Pam. Had to pay list, but got 2 extra aligator straps thrown in the deal. Love the watch and even better with 4 straps to start with.

Hi all, I am seriously considering it. The AD is holding it for me to give me a few days to decide. It is such a hard decision but not because I am not sure if the watch is what I want, but if I want to spend about 7k on a watch. haha.

Watch fan, the two aligator straps included is almost like 10% off so according to most here, seems like a good deal. What are your first impressions? Congrats on your new Pam.

My first impressions after having my 312 for almost a day are that I am very impressed with this watch. Even though it is pretty thick (I would guess about 17 to 18mm), it fits the wrist very nicely. Without the added weight of a bracelet, you don't notice the size much, even though it is a large watch. Due to the thickness, I like the new flater crystal because with the older more domed crystal it would be way too thick. I like the new modified 1950 case with the combination brush/polish finish. Very nicely done. The face is very clean looking and uncluttered, very readable. Lume is also very good at night.The fit and finish of the watch is superb. The large buckle on the strap takes a little getting used to, but it is very distinctive and not uncomfortable to wear. For those of you who may have wrist size of 7 1/2 " or more, the straps that come with the watch will be too short. The AD will exchange them for longer straps at no charge if you ask. (I had to do that) So far, I couldn't be happier with the watch. This one's a 10!
