Looking for some friendly advice
which "Grail" should I keep.
It was to me more functional.

keep that PAM 217 if not then keep that PAM 127. Both watch are desirable and at that PAM level it does not make too much a difference apart from the fact that in the end I believe more people would want a fiddy.
but keep the one that will spend more time on your wrist.

I'd only keep the 217 if I were a lefty. Otherwise, easily 127 hands down.
127 is the original and dial looks more clean than the 217 dial IMO.
Also, it is my opinion that if you offered the 217 owners a chance to swap out for a 127, I'd say a decent amount of people would swap for a 127. I don't have any proof of this, so don't take this too seriously but I think I my guess would hold true.
Now if the vice versa were offered to the 127 owners where they could swap to a 217, I don't think many would.
Cheers,
