390 or 305

Ok I know they are completely different but if you had to decide between the pair which one are you taking?

I really like the 305, but it's a bit big on me. 390 is a beauty.

Try them on, the 305 wears significantly different than the base 390 case. 47mm divers wear a lot larger than the PAM390. However, the PAM305 titanium helps with keeping the weight down.

Have you seen the 390 in person? That will answer you question. No right answer.

I miss my 390, but since I have a 372 I kept that. 390 for sure.

The ultimate pam.

305 for me. Really like the large subs, and the 305 looks great with so many straps.

How could you pass on this beautiful piece of metal. I personally think it feels a lot smaller and lighter on the wrist, than the size "47 mm " suggest.

390 is my choice of the two.

But I would go with a 000 or 111. I prefer the black dial.
