StormTooper4 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Though I had seen the posts talking about it and that there were some very strong opinions against a rep of the 312 I am actually looking forward to this and I'm really please Angus has set the wheels in motion for it. Though I am please with the new 005,111,177,219 range I have enough Historic PAM's and though I like details as much as the next OCD'r I aint to bothered by them enough to change cases and crystals etc Being slight of wrist, I did have a 1950 but had to let it go cos it was just too big, so I have always hankered after the 44mm 1950 case versions. This link was posted on RG http://www.puretimewatch.com/blog/120/. But I though I do a dial comparison I am thinking it looks Bloody good, may be a mm out here and there but if they can get a correct width date font with the right colour I reckon we could be of for a winner. Also movement will be using modified A7750 movement, and though it doesn't bother me too much, it sounds great as well, but I really dont want to get in to a big debate about the movement here. What do you guys think on the dial?
wheaton26 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 i'm wearing my gen right now and that dial looks great! if they come through on the rest of it, i'll definitely pick one up for comparison sake. the first version was a joke. thanks for posting ... the pams are finally making a comeback! here's a good stock photo of the 312 ...
StormTooper4 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Posted January 30, 2011 Cheers Dude, coming from a Gen owner I take that as one big thumbs up, and a comparison review would be really appreciated I am sure
wheaton26 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 I think my rep 312 looks very nice from the dealers photos i thought it was poorly done. having said that ( ), i don't think i've seen any member pics. please post some if it's not too much trouble ... it's good for the progression. thanks and all the best.
StormTooper4 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Posted January 30, 2011 Wat44 show us your 312 Please. I've always thought they were good value regardless of the differences. Please post pics and thoughts when you get a chance
mastrmindalliance Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Wat44 show us your 312 Please. I've always thought they were good value regardless of the differences. Please post pics and thoughts when you get a chance Third it! Have never seen anything but dealer pics.
serious Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 It looks good to me.... tempted here... Haha
PaulVanDyk Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) SWEET! Hope they do 359 at some point as well. Edited January 30, 2011 by PaulVanDyk
subbiesrock Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Personally, I can't wait for the 320... If they get the 312 right, the 320 should be a relative cakewalk
Eton Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Sweet, I've been waiting for this one to be done right!!!
pabler Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 There was a 312 sale thread on RG on Saturday with some photos. Liked that watch, but would love to see how it feels on the wrist. http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=125423

pabler Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 anyway you could copy and paste the photos here for us non geeks? thanks either way. Will ask seller for his permission.
pabler Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Ok, thanks for 27bslash6, here comes his pics: I was tempted myself to buy it..... Edited January 31, 2011 by pabler
wheaton26 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Ok, thanks for 27bslash6, here comes his pics: I was tempted myself to buy it..... it actually looks better than the dealer pictures. but that date is a deal breaker for me. thanks for sharing!
27bslash6 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 That's my 312.. The date window and font are a big problem but other than that I really like this watch. I'll definitely be picking up one of the new ones when they come out.
babola Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Just to avoid possible confusion - that's a recent/current 312, Angus is working on a V2 PAM312 'super-rep'. cheers, b
naveedgt Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Hope they do a 351, saw the gen at an AD and it was gorgeous. The titanium case might be an issue.
ugoderosa Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Actually, I think this upcoming 312 will be the 4th version of this series. The first version, sold by Robert, erroneously had a "3" on the dial (it had a date window next to the "3" as well). The 2nd version, which I bought, deleted the "3". Here is a photo of my watch (I returned this watch to the dealer as it had a bad movement and I thought it was a bad rep, poor quality overall): The 3rd version, which I bought and recently sold, improved the dial, case and movement, but still had obvious cosmetic issues, such as the date window, but it was a BIG improvement over version 1 and version 2:
StormTooper4 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 ugoderosa thanks for you post, its nice to see the evolution of versions. I think we are all holding our breath for the correct Date font and DW position. If the quality is up there with the 111J/177L then it should be a great watch regardless of the issues that some have with the movement.
Duffy33333 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 After waiting ages for the rep, ich had to buy the gen in November last year. Compared to whats on my wrist right now, i see only minor differences: a) "L Swiss made L" Font to large, on the gen its hardly to see so fine it is.. Luminor Marina is too white, gen is more off white c) Backside: the Unruh ( german word) is at 6, on the gen its at 5 and of course the horrible date... Regards André
