Tried it last week. Really nice watch although I am not too cconvinced by the blue hand

I tried on the 1312 recently but prefer the 312. Not keen on the blue second hand and I find the 'Automatic' on the dial a bit off-putting. Also, as pointed out by Cru, there might be some difficulties pairing up new straps because of the blue second hand. On a positive note, it does have a new movement and is much lighter and thinner that its predecessor

If you prefer an Arabic dial, have a look at the 1359

Ooof.

That blue hand looks off.

I know other watches do this. ALS, Stowa, SEIKO... Just does not look right here.

The blue hand looks silly.

A simple updated 312 with slimmer movement would have sufficed. God they frustrate me sometimes

I prefer the new ones. The key for me is the slimmer case. Same ole PAM look / feel. Im gonna add 1392

Gotgolf52 · 25 July 2016, 02:14 PM

I also the overall look of the 1xxx model is an upgrade to previous top heavy Pam but why the blue hand???

Blue hand, faux patina and 'automatic' kill it for me.

stockae92 · 26 July 2016, 05:25 AM

I would want a 1359, I need to the skimmer case. Just make a few strap with blue stitches and you'll be fine :D

The case was what stopping me from buying a 359 in the first place.

Tried it on at my local AD today. I was wearing my 312, so was able to compare them side by side. IMO, it's a bit too thin for my taste. I bought the 312 because I like the 1950 case size and weight. The new version is nice, but I don't think I'll be "upgrading" any time soon.
