Wriggles 12 Posted February 25, 2013 Best advice I can give, save yourself some money and time buying a cheapie to see how it looks. Just go to an AD and try on a couple of models, you will soon see if you like or don't. Personal tastes are all different. Personally I didn't like them, then saw more and more pics and thought actually there might be something. Did exactly what said here, went to an AD and now I want a load of them, but I do think the chrono's are that nice, again it's personal taste. It's the shape and presence I like about them, and the elegance of the more simpler models but not too simple either. The CG of course makes them unique and different as well. So, go to an AD and check them out, save you time and money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realism 72 Posted February 25, 2013 Two words: Calmn Calm down. I actually am in the process of purchasing a $450 watch so your assumptions are completely innacurate. Big deal Mr. "High Roller" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasper618 0 Posted February 25, 2013 I bought one, and it infected me..... this is one year of pams..... I now have an 029, 237, and 375 in the mail, and also have my next, I'd say 5 picked out. I guess you could say I have Pamroblems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikester1200 0 Posted February 26, 2013 What can you not like about this? Exactly, this one looks perfect imo. May not have the "complexity" of a sub, but definitely has more elegance~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
presence00 0 Posted February 26, 2013 That's one of the strenghs of the forum try it and if it's not for you then M2M sales is then an option......... you may lose a little money for the hire of the watch.........then help another member with a purchase. Feel free to try out a 292 H Fac M or J series and hate it for me, k? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted February 26, 2013 What can you not like about this? Exactly, this one looks perfect imo. May not have the "complexity" of a sub, but definitely has more elegance~ 288 is one of just a few best PAMs. 224 is another one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted February 26, 2013 I like Pams but only have a couple. The history and references to the basic era designs is a factor for me as well. I found this in a magazine recently... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted February 26, 2013 Pam sucks, and that's why I love her. No wait, that's why I love the watch. It's all about the strap for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasperB 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Quite simple really - Italian Macho, Italian Style. It's a man's watch through and through, including it's military heritage. From the rep collectors point of view, it is simple, so easy to rep, less to tell. No wonky bezel, no wrong pearl position, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
