PAM nirvana...at least for me!
I have bought/traded/flipped a total of 5 PAMs in the last 10 months hoping to find just the right one.
48 (got as a bonus in a trade with something else...to small for me) 312 (close but a bit to thick/top heavy for me) 233 (great watch and will probably have to have another one at some point) 249 (amazing piece but just too big for me) 190 (nirvana!!!). At least for me. This one is a keeper. |

Congrats!
I pretty much went on a flipping field trip until I realized that the 190 was perfect for my small 6.5" wrist with the DNA of Panerai and the 8day JLC movement... love the 249 but found it too big to wear daily...and my 190 is go to piece.. congrats!

I had two grail PAMs.
The 141 and the 190 I was lucky to buy a 141. You've been fortunate to snag a 190. I console myself by owning a JLC Reverso 8day. Congratulations and wear it in good health. May it bring you the pleasure you've sought. cheers richard |
