My First Pam! Finally!
 

First of all, thanks to all the Pam community here on TRF. :clap:
It was so helpful to hear from so many people each time a 'newbie' like me posted some silly question.
The photos you guys post and your knowledge of these watches and explanations about them really pushed me into getting my first one.
It was a hard decision as I do not take a 'big' purchase lightly. My last big watch purchase was 19 years ago, so I make sure I know exactly what makes me happy and hope I will be able to look down at it years from now and have it still make me smile.
So without further adieu. Here was the day in photos.
Cheers! :cheers:


Had to check out the competition, 422, 372. Just to be sure what I was going to get.

And the very hot 422 is beautiful. Kinda like a giant 111. That 213 was beautiful as well.

A decision was made and a Bank envelope filled with paper for my 'dealer' was offered in exchange.

A load of paper in exchange for my new 372. Score!

And thus ends a perfect day.
Oh yea, it was my 10th wedding anniversary as well.
So, thanks again and I appreciate all the help, suggestions and patience shown. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
Cheers!

Gorgeous piece and great pictures!
Big congrats on your pick up and 10 year anniversary!

Gorgeous but I REALLY like that 422!

Beautiful choice. It has all of the PAM essence without gimmicks.

Did your wife end up with a watch also ?

Gorgeous watch, but that 422 is :drul:

I know, I know. Let me start with the 372 and see if I end up with a 422 one day as well. Cheers!

She wishes. I did convince her to check it out as she has been wanting a Chanel, and I thought she should put a LV on to see how she liked it. That will be for another day though.

Thanks! Yes, it was an all around great day!

Thanks, it is a sweet piece of watch. One day, one day.

Thanks! 10 years married and 20 years together, so I thought it would be nice to mark the day with a new watch. Cheers!

Congrats! very nice story and post..
missing Taipei...
enjoy the 372..its an instant classic in PAM line...

A big thank you to you Phil for being kind enough to send me a list of links to some shops around the city for me to check out. Interestingly enough, I stumbled onto one of them when out shopping with my wife, and that is where I ended up getting the 372.
So again, thanks to you and other kind members for all the help and suggestions.
