Well the two Breitlings are sold and now comes the search for a minty pre loved PAM 312. I have not had one on my wrist but have had a PAM 111 on. So.... how does the 312 wear compared to the 111? I would look for a 111 but I HAVE to have a date and the in house movement has a lot of appeal at this time, for my collection.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, also. Is the 328 just a 312 with a bracelet and do you Panerai owners ever wear one on a bracelet?

That cool brushed/polished bracelet has been discontinued because it was price prohibitive to make/sell. The new one - all brushed with no angles - is quite a boring eyesore IMO.

First question:
I have both a 312 and a 005, which is the same case as 111. They wear differently. The 312 sits higher on the wrist. I think the brushed/polished combo is more versatile too(my 005 is DLC, so that's irrelevant in my case).

Second:
The 328 is a 312 with a bracelet. To me though, I think PAM's are strap watches.

I've got my eye on the 386, which is a composite version of the 312.

Agreed on all points. Pam's are made for straps 100%. I too have my eye on a 386 if I decide to sell my 312. I want a PVD/Composite watch Pam badly.

Sergio, if I pick up a 386 or a 375, you can be first in line for my 005

:yeahthat
I've owned a 111 and a 312, and the difference is not huge but it is noticeable. The 111 definitely sits flatter on the wrist. The 1950 case of the 312 is a more pleasing shape IMO, but they both look great on the wrist.

PAm's are made for straps. Gives you a good excuse to go out and spend a big chunk of change on a whole assortment of them. Since my PAM takes 24mm straps, I can use them with my Super Avenger ! :D
