Different strokes for different folks. I don't get the Milgauss. The 312 is sexy. Isn't Milgauss Bart Simpsons nerdy friend??

If your uncertainty requires you to seek advice, then no.

I wouldn't do it because the PAM312 looks too BIG on my wrist.

If your wrist can support it, I say go for it! It's a very cool looking watch.

The 312 is a nice watch.
If I was to choose one or the other, it would be the Milgauss.
Seems like you want something new though...

If you want a completely different watch I would go with the pam. I have the 321 and it's a nice change at times from my sub or daytona. Also the strap thing is fun too. It's almost like having a different watch when you swap the strap out. I enjoy having a pam in the collection.

I would, but I'm biased.

Just picked up a 312 and love it! Definitely adds diversity to any collection. Plus it has a date.

The Milgauss has never sang to me.

Good luck with your decision.

I would! The 312 is an outstanding piece!

I wouldn't. The GV is very unique and fit and finish much better than the 312. The 312 also fits weirdly on the wrist (eg. If the GV fits you just right, the 312 likely wont). It's very thick and rounded below the case.

I had the 312 but sold it because it was unbalanced (too top heavy) on my smallish wrist otherwise I'd have kept it. As you're an 8" wrist, you may be ok. Best advise, try it on first.

I would do it if my wrists could pull off the Pam.

Great advice--try it on. PAMs look really cool in pics but don't work for everyone; particularly the Luminors. I find them too top heavy and way sporty and not very versatile. I've seen boutique guys wear them with a suit but I think it looks odd. Just my two cents

I have never really liked the Milfuass. Had a 312 for a couple of years and sold it last year. Really miss it. Works well with your other two Rolex watches.
