  • Advise needed on two PAM models :312 and 000

    Good evening all,

    am trying to decide between a 312 or 000

    Prefer 000 as loving the simplicity
    312 for the 3 days power reserve and mature look.

    know nuts about movement . can advise if there a big diff between OP calibre and P9000?

    Lots of difference between 000 and 312. Manual (basic movement) vs 3-day Automatic, 312 uses 1950 case, 312's thicker, 312 has date window, 312's Luminor Marina, etc.

    Question is whether 312 justifies the delta in $$$? Personal choice between the 2 watches as they are quite different to each other

      000 uses a midified unitas 6497 movement which has a long history. A vwry reliable workhorse, imho.

      The 312 utilises pam's in-house p9000 calibre which, imho is just a "better" mousetrap. Bur coa it'a in-house, u pay a bit if premium for it.

      The p9000 isn't my favourite movement. It's got the noisiest rotor. There were some issues with my early series 320, which uses the p9001, basically a p9000 with gmt and caseback pri.

      Took quite a few visits to pam boutique to rectify aeveral problema, including rotor alignment, spinning rotor but not winding rhe movement, movement fast by up to 5 minutes a week .

      Unless you are one of those suckers who feel that in-house MUST be better than go for it. Otherwise, stick to the 000 which appears to be in higher demand. And is powered by a tried and proven movement.
      I don't have enuf watches but I will stop buying now!

          You will need to fully wind in order for the power to last 56 hours

            Manual wind requires u to eind using the crown in order to get it moving. Full wind will keep the watch going for between 42-56 hours depending. For base pams, usually 56 hours or more. A generic 6497 usually lasts 42 hours thereabouts.

            It's similar to a wind-up toy. Same principle. No matter how u shake there is no rotor to wind the main spring.

                Manual winding is more historically correct for Pam.

                For those who don't care about history, getting an automatic may be more convenient.

                Personally I have no preference. Both also can. When I wear my manual usually for a few days in a row I like the feedback when winding it. Feels good. When wearing automatic I just wear and go no need to think.

                As a first Pam between 312 and 000 however I'll take the 312 although it's much thicker.

                I no feel for the 000. Prefer the 112

                  I very much prefer the Pam 000 because it's the most iconic model reflecting the storied legacy of Panerai

                    The PAM 0 for sure. But not the current snap in casebacks and the springbars. Get a used one with screw in caseback plus the screw in bars.

                        Now, you know the differences between the 2, which would you go for?

                        I will go for 312 since I've the manual ones.

                          Why not..

                          I just changed from 312 to 1312 and am totally loving it as it fits much better under long sleeve shirt. Maybe 1312 can be a consideration for you as well.

                            Interesting. True that it is quite annoying with the watch not being able to fit long sleeves shirt.

                              Sorry to hijack but i cant make new threads yet.

                              Is the new Pam01000 worth it for 4500 with 1 year warranty left.
