Hello All

New member here looking to purchase my first PAM. I am having a hard time deciding which one to choose. I am looking at the Luminor Base Logo PAM00000 Luminor Base PAM00112 or Marina Logo PAM00005.....

Are any of these models exclusive and much harder to get? What model is more popular?

BTW my current watch collection is:

IWC Pilot Chrono 3717
Omega planet ocean seamaster
Longines Flagship Moonphase
Ebel Tarawa
Frederique Constant Maxine Manufacture
Mont Blanc Summit
Sector 850 sport watch
Hamilton viewmatic

Anyone out there...I would like too hear some of your thoughts.....

Beautiful collection! I really love the IWC and Longines in your collection - would love to see pics if possible.

As for the Pam 000, 005 or 112... I would personally go for the 112. I love the clean dial of the 112 without the small seconds sometimes.. its so classic. The sandwich dial of the 112 over the 000 is selling point for me, especially as a first PAM. As for harder to get, I suppose it depends.. the 112 has more production especially since it has been around a bit longer, and more are made every year... but if you want the secondary markets, the 000 seems to come up for sale just as often and is a bit cheaper. I would say the 112 is more popular, however, I don't think you could go wrong with either.

Hope that helps
