Laguna2008 0 Posted January 28, 2015 After 5 weeks of waiting (not used to it...), nagging and complaining to some of the Dutch members for the last 2 days about Dutch postal services and customs, today without notification my very first rep and pam arrived! I really like the cleanness and simplicity of 372 but wondered about the 47mm and my puny wrists.. Now I'm glad I didn't select a smaller one; I like large watches and compared to my gen TW Steel I've been wearing the last couple of years, it feels perfect! Thanks to the members who helped me with my questions! No good camera so just ifoon picas with unfortunately (already) some fingerprints: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSTEEL 0 Posted January 28, 2015 Nice, I am still yet to get myself a PAM starter 111. I'm slacking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laguna2008 0 Posted January 28, 2015 me likey. Enjoy it, mate! Thanks Greg, your pam bible certainly helped me with my choices and gave lots of reading! Maybe one question: using the search function for winding the movement of this watch, have I read correctly that you wind it (slowly) until you can't wind it no more? Don't want to break it....

Yes, for manual wind PAMs like the PAM372, just wind until you can't. Then you either wind it a few times everyday or just let it run out and wind it up full again.

Yep - you'll feel some tension when it's fully wound - just stop at that point. Should give you 45-50 hours of use (a bit more if you're lucky) before needing winding again.

Realism 72 Posted January 28, 2015 you can't over-wind - the tension is very apparent when fully wound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phizzy 0 Posted January 28, 2015 Nice pickup buddy. love the look of the 372 but always worried about the size. What size are your wrists? Think it looks ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it was after ordering but I spotted a sales colleague wearing a pam 111 I think (I thought a rep, turned out to be a gen......hmmm) and asked if I could try it on. Because I'm used to the large TW (and some cheap ozoo in similar size) I thought it looked very nice but kinda small. It's still a large watch on my wrists but I like it, I guess that's the important part... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted January 28, 2015 Congrats, it´s a beautiful PAM with a great sideview and the 372 engravings, looks good:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laguna2008 0 Posted January 28, 2015 Well done mate! You are now doomed to buying more PAMs and even more straps etc . . . Thanks! I really like the crown guards on these pams, didn't have much interest in the radiomirs until I saw your pictures of the black seal. Hmmmmmm The thing is I've got some more hobbies besides watches and need to spread the funding to keep all of them going. But who knows? Hahaha indeed a nice ammo strap would probably be my next thing. Kinda steep prices tough compared to the watches. Thanks all of you for the compliments!

I have the same question and concern over the size. It doesn't look too bad on the OPs "puny" wrist so I am curious what size his wrists are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the same question and concern over the size. It doesn't look too bad on the OPs "puny" wrist so I am curious what size his wrists are. Sorry for the late reply (been away for the last week). Just measured my wrist: approx. 18.5cm = 7.3 inches I've been wearing it during the day non stop and I'm still really happy with it and don't regret getting the 372 = 47mm!
