FLArch 0 Posted November 12, 2012 Hey guys, great forum and happy to have found it. My name is Mark and I have a decent collection of timepieces, but looking to expand while not spending a fortune. I am thrilled to find this place and all of the knowledge herein. For my first pickup, I am looking for a stainless bracelet AP Royal Oak (no larger than 42 mm) and a Panerai whereby I can use all of my straps (customs) that I have sitting collecting dust from my PAM 112 (authentic) that my girlfriend lost while we were on vacation! yuck Anyway, I am 37 years old and am a commercial architect in Tampa. Thanks Mark M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

powderfreak 0 Posted November 12, 2012 Welcome, Mark! Have a good read, plenty of excellent Pam reps around. APs are available, too, but the quality is a bit worse. Maybe look out for one of the Divers, they seem to be the best choice (decent build quality, quite close to the gen and without problematic movements).

All things are just things mate. material things are things, mental things are things. A red door is just a door :P Since you are a collecter of material things, watches, you are a materialist and therefore are allowed to be bummed out by losing your gen pam. condition off loss accounted in the quantity of being bummed. But be honest she did do her best to make it up right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FLArch 0 Posted November 12, 2012 I enjoy material things. It's fun to search out what makes you happy as a buyer and then receive the product. BUT, as with most material things...once the rush is gone, the rush is gone. Thankfully, I have a rider policy for watches and stuff so the watch wasn't replaced but the folks at Chubb made it right. A sincere apology was adequate from the little lady. LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
