Pam 111 and 112 are nice but someome said they are just base model

[tzetze]

Do u guys even know what is a pam base? 111 is not a base!

Watches are subjective to individual's preference, follow your heart, u wun go wrong. Follow other's rude comments, u tends to regret later. Having said that, I do have PAM 111 as my base model and first PAM. To this date, I still luv the sandwich dial, see thru case and everything in it. Not to mention, I have been changing straps to different colours to match my outfit. :P

I like sandwich dial Glad to hear from many of u who think otherwise from the comment I received on Pam 111. That person whom I know self proclaimed to be one who collects vintage PAMs. To me, if u really love watches, whether it is entry level model or not, it really doesn't matter. What's important is that you appreciate their designs and workmanship.

The main issue with 312 is its thickness not the case size. 392 houses the same movement but in a case 2mm smaller than the 312. Hence I imagine the thickness of 392 is even more obvious both look and feel wise so do take note.

On the other hand, some say 372 though 47mm doesn't wear very big and wear better than 312 due to it's thinner, so don't like base on case size.

I really love 372 for its clean design, sandwich dial and the dirty brown look but size wise, it's way too huge on my tiny wrist. Need to try out 392 one of these days...

Just when some people and even myself are pretty fond of the simple design of 111 and 112, I remembered someone once gave me such a degoratory remark that such base models of Pam are nothing and worthless

Another option is to go with the 42mm PAM 392. It looks great too, although I would prefer no second hand on the 9. But size wise, it should be ok on my small wrist. It's a new model and therefore is on the pricey side.

Why bother with such remarks? Most important is when you put on the watch and it puts a smile to your face whenever you are wearing it. If you put on a top of the line super limited edition model but you don like it, then its pointless isnt it?

Hi
Saw hobby link at far east plaza selling bnib 111.

Hi,

Can share where are the grey dealers? Thanks!

[pyro]

Hi,

Can anyone advice the price of a pam 111? Interested to get one. Anywhere can give decent discount? THG or Sincere? Thanks!

Love the uncluttered look of the base models. Itching to get a 000 now. Argh, the Pam bug has bitten hard.

[turboducky]

I have to agree with the guys here, the base modelas are the smartest. No doubt, it's not in-house movement, but it's less complicated & clean. I have owned 111, 112, 90 & 359 over the years & honestly, the first two gave me the most joy. It looks good under a work shirt & just as at home in jeans & boots. So why dont you give one of the base models a try & if you dont like it, sell it cheap cheap to me! Merry Xmas!

i even thought of changing my 1950 luminor for a base model

Does this help in your decision making?

Base models are easier for maintenance. Appearance wise it is classic looking. Wear what you like and you can afford. enjoy.

I wear my base Pam more often than I wear my AP.... That explains it!
