I do agree with your comment of the 448. I am just not a lover of sausage....unless of course it is in a hot dog.

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?

PAM 351 is awesome, one of my preferred, but it has a bit worse polished bezel than gen. For this reason (only for that) is not in my list of better PAM reps
But if you like it , buy it with confidence, either ZFac or KW both are very similar

I have the 299 and thing looks damn near perfect..

Had the 29, 288, 253, 212, 380 and they all were stunning..

Honestly can't argue with that! I haven't been wearing mine since I got it.

Damn!! This is one of the forgotten watches

Really good and with strong gen-like appearance
PAM 297 is almost the same

I remember I bought PAM 299 O-series Noob and 297 for collection purposes, because I didn't like the SS bracelets. But I worn during almost a week the PAM 299 and the same with PAM 297. And this is not usual. I realized how heavy they are!! LOL

I have edited the first list, including these watches

I love the brushed ss with polished bezel of the 299, but hate the bracelet.. leather strap or rubber makes a huge difference.

Cheese then bacon then sausage. All we need now is beer.

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.

Thank you all for your answers, especially ALE.
Chose a 111 to begin with. I also noticed that 50% of success depends on an expensive strap. I'll go pick them.

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.

A feeling that the paint from the PAM359 came to PAM312, probably at the factory love to save on "small things".
But in this case it is not appropriate and spoil the whole picture of 312.
