Someone asked me today about the differance in sizes of these 2 watches so I said I would take a few pics!

I used the point and shoot so they're okay. After downloading I noticed a stray hair floating around....little b*****d!!! Can't be bothered to retake so these will have to do!

Cheers

Nope, I was surprised at how big the 312 looked. It's weird because it sure as hell doesn't wear as big as the SA, well the 111 didn't anyway. Man I want one.

I tried to get as close as I could with each shot, not that easy for me!

Anyway as I said to Lloyd, IMO the SA definently wears bigger than the 312, maybe not a hell of a lot in it but I would say that is the case. Not sure if its the white dial or the bezel that makes me say that but I had a good look again tonight and still havn't changed my mind.

As I said to Lloyd the SA's for a Saturday night and the 312 for the weddings! :wink:

Cheers

I'm glad you agree with me Roman. If you look at the first pic I think that shows it better than the wrist shots. Not much in it when you see the pics but certainly the SA wears bigger.

Cheers

Thanks for the pics Andrew... though you've now made it even more difficult for me to choose.
The 312 looks amazing.
Love the simple dial of a PAM, oozes class.

You're right, in the first two pics the bigger size of the SA does show, but on the wrist the PAM appears bigger for some reason. I think it's partly because of thinner bezel and flat face, also because of the slightly squarer case.

Looking at these again I would say don't use the wristshots as a comparison as I think the one with the 312 is shot nearer the camera which kinda distorts the size. The first photo is the one I would use for a comparison TBH.

Cheers

Cheers Boogie, it is a beautiful watch. I need to get another strap just out of curiosity but I've worn it on both the croc and rubber and it's nice on both. I would probably say that I prefer to wear it on the rubber band so far tho! :shock:

Cheers

a while back i tried on a friends Pam and it was on the rubber OEM strap and i have to agree with you....those straps are amazingly comfortable.
