PAM 210 vs 112 PIX

So for quite some time, I really thought I wanted to get a PAM 210. I have an order in for a Milgauss at a dealer, but after that Panny gets my money for a while. Anyway, I went to Tourneau in Columbus Circle in NYC today and they had a 210! I tried it on, and was just completely let down. I was so disappointed. It just sort of rested there. I have 7.75 wrists, so it wasnt like it looked too big, I cant even describe it. I think the shape was just a little funky, it seems a bit squat i guess, I cant really describe it....

Anyway, my order of operations was get a PAM210 first then possibly a 112. Now, I cant find a dealer that has them normally, the Panny cases are usually empty, so my question is this, does anyone have a side by side shot of a 210 vs a 112 or a 0000? I get the sense the 0000 or 112 is a little rounder and might look better on my wrist. I really dig the look of the PAMs, but I am hoping this doesnt become a trend!

Any help would be appreciated, especially considering I will NEVER go to a Tourneau to look at anything again. What awful salespeople, such attitude! My GOD!

thanks

James

The bigger lugs make it look a little longer too. I really hope it fits my wrist a little better. I really love the look, but when it doesnt sing to you its hard to justify

the 112 looks a lot rounder; the bezel goes out to almost the edge of the case, and the case itself is quite a bit rounder itself. a very different look.

but i like them both

Mik,

I dont want to dissuade you from getting a 210, just based on my experience yesterday, but I would say you should see it on your wrist before you commit... Granted, provided you dont drop it on a tile floor right after you buy it, can probably resell it for EXACTLY what you paid, I would still say try it on. I REALLY wanted a 210, I actually saw in the display it and pulled my CC out literally. So it wasn't like I was on the fence here, LOL.

I just got it on and looked at it and went, eh. which stinks, when you want something, and then you see it and dont.

thanks!

for some reason the pic of the 112 looked a bit grey (vs the 000) so i wasnt sure what it was.

the 000 looks great too! not sure which one i would get if they were both available
