1680 for 243

Hi all,ever since I worn my friends Pam, I really like the size it fits on my wrist.

When I wear back my 1680, I just find it a little small.

Question now is,I got an opportunity to trade for a Pam 243 last continued model 1 to 1 with my 1680.

Shall I proceed?

My 1680 still new old stock and still lumes.

just watch only.

What you think?

I would not do it. While I love PAMs, the 1680 is an absolutely classic.

I agree with the other guys keep the 1680 as it's a classic. I love the PAM styling but the 1680 just has the edge in this case.

Getting rid of a classic is a difficult decision, I'd lean toward "no."

The 1680 is quite a sought after piece. IMHO, it's worth a bit more as well....

For me, no deal. I think 1680 > 243. Just be patient and save for that 243!
