Just purchased my first PAM being a L series 312.

Amazed by:-

1) the packaging of PAM (compared with Rolex);

2) the see-through case back which I have spent hours on enjoying the details;

3) the flexibility to change straps (which lots of them are available with different colors).

The bad thing is my wife is also impressed with the colourful straps available therefore she is now asking for a PAM 111 of her own.

I hope that I can slowly build up my PAM collection overtime. Really like the PAM 335 adn PAM 029 therefore looking forward to comments on them from other experienced members.

You can't go wrong. Looks great!

What's wrong with the wife wanting one? You could wear it too!

Great pickup. I to am a new Pamite. Congrats.

Congratulations my friend - the 312 is a wonderful way to kick off a PAM collection

By the way, there are several 40mm models (such as the 48) which may suit your wife better than the 44mm 111.

Cheers

Not that simple. I tried that "technique" with the purchase of my (actually hers) Daytona black dial but she "see through" my intention which eventually costs more damages to my wallet. At last, I was prohibited to touch the Daytona, the 16610LV and the Yatch Master (they are all hers). Now, I have also to buy her an 111 so that she can have a PAM as well.

Many thanks. The problem is I have tried to stick with Rolexes only. With the first PAM, I may not be able to control myself and may end up with more and more PAMs in the future. This is no good to me financially.
