Okay, had a 312, but it was too top heavy for me. I have heard the 351 is a lot lighter because of titanium. Any truth to that or if it's more comfortable? Looking for opinions from 351 owners and other PAM lovers.

Might be ready for dark side again.

Not sure the exact weight difference but it definitely feels much lighter.

I used to have the 351, really loved that watch, but wasnt perfect. The titanium feels alot different on the wrist compared to the 312, and you cant beat the gold hands. Only thing that made me sell was the number 9 bwsides the seconds subdial makes it abit cluttered.

Dude, Ti is waaay lighter. I love the look of that piece, but the feel of SS is second to none IMHO.

I actually like the lighter feel of the Ti as SS felt a little uncomfortable when trying some on. I am sure I would get use to the SS but felt the Ti was the best of both worlds. Great looks and still very comfortable. I guess thats why they make both.

Pull that trigger!!!

I have a 351 as well as a 268. The 351 feels a lot lighter and it is very comfortable.

Shade · 2 July 2011, 05:06 PM

Yes I agree I love Ti more than SS, other than being light, it also has this unique hue that I really like..

texex91 · 2 July 2011, 09:48 PM

You guys are making it tough one me. Sounds like the 351 will be more comfortable on the arm vs 312 (which I loved, but it was too heavy).

I had a 312 and found it too heavy. I now have a 351 and it feels perfect. Definitely lighter. Goodluck!!!

I have never owned the 312 or the 351, but I do own a 000 (SS) and a 177 (Ti). I can definitely say that the titanium Luminor case is WAY lighter and infinitely more comfortable, especially for long periods of time and in warmer weather. In fact, I can wear my 177 all day and forget that it is on my wrist...whereas I sometimes have to take off my 000 after a few hours to give my wrist a break.

I personally love the darker brushed appearance and would recommend giving the 351 a try if you find the 312 to be uncomfortable.

Could the dark side be waiting for me again...AD opens on Tuesday...

Way lighter and the 351 just might be one of the best looking PAMs out there!!!!!

fc3s2k · 3 July 2011, 12:51 AM

For me I like the SS, I have a small wrist and the weight only bothered me the first day!!
After that the 312 feels awesome!!! The brushed case is simply stunning!!!!
