Having Trouble Deciding

Hello Friends,

I'm having trouble deciding between the Pam 88 with brown leather strap or the Pam 312 with the black leather strap. I was looking for more of a rugged looking watch and that's why i liked the 88, but than i came across the 312. I tried on the 328 today (with steel bracelet) and the 88 today in an AD, but it was tough to decide when they didn't have the 312. I know it's the same watch, but the steel bracelet makes the watch much heavier and has a different look. Now i can't decide. Does someone have both? Your thoughts?

I used to have both (sold to get a SS Daytona with black dial)88 and 312.

I vote for 312.

312 for both looks and production numbers. The 88's are relatively common.

88 if you plan on using the GMT function of the watch. If not, then 312 hands down...
