From what you've written, I think you'll like the PAM312 better

That's the feeling I get after reading your post. 

To answer your questions:

1) Yes reading is more difficult through the PAM312's domed crystal due to refraction.  But please note that it is not an annoyance.

2) I haven't owned either the PAM111 or PAM312 but I've handled them many times and own similar models.  The biggest con for the PAM111 is the ubiquity of the movement.  The PAM312 looks more refined due to the brushed finished case and polished bezel combo IMO.  Plus, it has the date which is a plus in my book.

3) Titanium PAMs don't seem to have as much appeal as their stainless steel counterparts.  I don't know why but that's just the way how it usually is.  If you're favoring the PAM111 over the PAM312, then you should take a look at the PAM177.  The titanium color is very gray so it gives the watch a different look as opposed to the polished look of the PAM111.

In any case, you can't go wrong with either models - 111, 177, or 312.  They are all fabulous watches!

Cheers,
Anthony
