I went to my nearest AD and they don't have a 312 and said they'll try to find one for me. Do you think they'll find it or are these watches difficult to find? Also, they said I wouldnt be able to get a discount on it. Is that how things are going with this model?

A 312 should be no problem to find. Don't expect any discounts from an AD, but you can get an extra strap or two thrown in most times. There are some good sellers around here if you want a BNIB PAM for a discount. Good luck!

Looks right here on TRF and on watchnet and paneristi. There are lots of dealers that can get you one with a little discount and they are BNIB from a US AD.

Ping Oscar - aka "BodyBump" or Greg aka "Mosco"

They deal a lot of PAMs

Joey_V · 6 November 2010, 03:32 PM

My guy got me a discount on it, he works for a Chicagoland AD.

zlin08033 · 7 November 2010, 07:42 AM

312 is not that difficult to find now, actually my AD just got one in this week, I don't know it is true or not, he said they are getting around 8 per year. And of cause they discount it!

Another vote for Oscar "Bodybump". Oscar is the PAM man.

bigmikebee · 7 November 2010, 11:40 AM

the zlin man is right!!!! discounts are VERY available on the 312 & FROM an AD!!!

zlin08033 · 7 November 2010, 12:20 PM

Mike: Haven't heard from you for a while now, how r u doing these days?

bigmikebee · 7 November 2010, 12:29 PM

hey Z.... doin good! hope u r 2. im still amazed at how sort after that 312 is...We need more 328 fans!!! thats a real "best kept secret" in the panny world.

zlin08033 · 7 November 2010, 12:49 PM

Maybe because now OP make 4000 pieces 312 vs. 1000 of 328 yearly, or a lot people like to change strap often for PAM. But 20% off 328 vs. 10 - 15% off 312, buying 328 is a no-brainer.

bigmikebee · 7 November 2010, 12:57 PM

true! Some panny people i came across didnt realize the 328 braclet changes easy like any strap! I hope this info helps someone out there.

Shade · 7 November 2010, 02:22 PM

312 is jot that hard to find. And I'm not sure on discounts=.

emagni · 7 November 2010, 02:34 PM

Lee Michaels in San Antonio has three in the display a month ago when I was there.

Spencer · 7 November 2010, 03:22 PM

I would expect at least a 10-15% discount. Yes it's a desirable watch but if you are a real buyer and the AD has the watch, he won't let it go over 10-15%.

ocwatching · 8 November 2010, 02:46 AM

they should be easily found and at some discount...pm sent

I would LOVE one of those Mike. Loved the brushed case / bracelet option...

Maybe I will look to trade up from my 111 someday. The 328/312 gets me the date...but looks a tad too similar to the 111. I do like the ease of setting the 111 thought.
