A big thank-you to everyone who replied to titanium or stainless steel and to 0005 or 000111, your assistance was invaluable.

Well I went back tot he dealer today not intending to buy but to try to choose and within 30 seconds one watch just spoke to me, I could read the dial more clearly, the face looked more balanced and I saved AU$1,000 to boot (plus got a top of the range croc dark brown strap thrown in)

Oh, yes I chose the PAM0005.....

The 000111 was great but I could not justify the additional $1,000 for clear a back I would never see on my wrist, and a face that although nice was a little more difficult to read than the painted dial. Finally the COSMS cert said this watch was within 0.2 sec a day so the swan neck regulator is really a moot point.

Again thanks to everyone that succeeded in doing what Darth Vader did to Luke...............turned me to the dark side!!!!!!
