I've been reading and reading and reading some more. Are the 351s out there that much poorer than the 312? Is it a cost of goods issue or something else?
Some clarifications are required
The overall most accurate?
PAM 029 Noob, PAM 292 J Noob
The most accurate in the wrist? (Not in the hand. List increases a lot)
PAM 111-176-177-127-217-029-356-390-088-243-299-297 Noob, PAM 292 J noob, PAM 312 KW, PAM 388 KW, PAM 288 H maker. PAAM
The most gen-like feel appearance?
PAM 417 KW, PAM 388 KW, PAM 312 KW, PAM 346 KW, PAM 359 KW, PAM 505-504 KW, PAM 029 Noob, PAM 243 Noob, PAM 390 Noob, PAM 292 J Noob, PAM 299-297 Noob
The nicest one? (this is a taste matter)
PAM 390, PAM 253, PAM 388, PAM 346, PAM 417, PAM 359, PAM 312, PAM 088
I know this is a big list, but I cannot reduce it
ALE
Pam299?
I do agree with your comment of the 448. I am just not a lover of sausage....
KW312 is a great watch, but it should not be in a "most gen like in a wrist" list. It feels like gen, but wrong colour is a instant tell from a distance. I just keep saying this becouse people buying this watch will be disappointed if they think it's like gen. Is still gourage to buy it, but buyer should know what he gets.
You mean the dial is a different colour, or the markers?
Text in a dial is wrong colour ("Luminor Marina", "Panerai") as well as numbers in a date wheel.
