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. |
