The Panerai Source Forums

Hi guys,

I am new to Panerai and have quite nice dilemma for the last few days
Went to AD the other day and offered PAM 88 and 312.
The salesrep explained both are high in demand and fortunately for me they have both at the moment.
He mentioned 312 normally harder to get than 88 as well as it's got Panerai in-house movement.
Appreciate any comment or opinion on which one to get.

My personal opinion is that fashion wise, 88 looks good but 312 looks damn elegant.

Regards,

JJ

the 312 can become a classic pam with all its features...but the 88 is also very highly regarded. imo it boils down to the "cliche" which do you like more seeing on your wrist. personally i'd go 312 because that just looks like a panerai watch. you can't really go wrong if you like them both equally tho, flip a coin

312 all the way, future classic....

Both are great but I would also go with the 312.

I purchased the 88 about two months ago and simply love the look and feel of this great watch. The tan croc deployment strap and the sportier face really do it for me. Either way you can't go wrong.

I got my 320 two weeks ago. I was really chancy, because the dealer had one in stock that had been reserved, but had not been picked up on time. He said I was lucky, because the next 320 would only arrive in summer 2010.

I think the point that makes the 320 worth the extra cash is the in-house-movement. I really like the case form, but I know that not everybody does. If you can have the 32o right now, go for it!

I have to agree with everyone on the 312. Just a beautiful time piece.
