Could 320...

be the most "well rounded" Pam on the market? To me it is....
Now i know most purists prefer base models like 000, 111, 005...etc.
But the 320 has everything that i like!!
Clean dial, 1950 case, curved crystal, sandwich dial, GMT function with option to hide the GMT hand, automatic with in house movement, reset second feature, display back with power reserve indicator....
Need to start saving some money for this one....
Lets see some photos if you have one!!!

The 320 is certainly a beauty, but as far as the non-Historics are concerned, to me the ultimate PAM is the 233. It has the GMT functionality and 1950 case from the 320, but it adds that beautiful domed crystal and 8-Day movement.

With a long enough power reserve, I think that this is a great way to preserve the manual-wind history of the brand, while providing nearly the convenience of an automatic.

Been thinking about the 320 myself for all the same reasons you mentioned, just not sure I would use it for travel over my GMT IIc. For that reason I may go with the 312 (320s lil brother I guess).

I think that's a fair assessment. One of my favourites.

How about 321?

Almost same price, between 321 and 320, I would pick 321.
Agree the opinion on 233, but it is a lot more expensive though.
