Wearing my new Panreai 00K
I got it today, and it feels HUGE on my wrist. The search was long and tireless but I finally found something I think I will enjoy. I ended up with a BNIB 00K from a known dealer over on the Paneristi forum. I would be taking pictures right now but I have no idea were my wife left the camera, when I find it I will post some pics. I am really feeling the weight, I guess I am not used to it. The first thing I did was to take off the leather strap and put one the rubber, I do live in Arizona and about half my life is spend in the pool, yes I am exaggerating but I swim a lot. Right now I am trying to figure out if the ti model (176) might have been a better fit for me just so I don't feel the weight as much, but I think I will get used to it and learn to love it. Anyway, it feel great to own my first Pam, and I have a feeling that my Rolex models might be collecting some dust for a while.
Oh, and I already bought my first aftermarket strap, a nice vintage looking piece, I am so excited.

Congrats Trevor... I believe you will not only get used to the weight but will end up liking the heavier feel. You picked out a very cool watch. The zero is a PAM staple!

It looks great on your wrist! It works. I plan on getting a similar model- the 112 at some point. I'm doing it backwards though since I got the 190, then plan on getting a 233 next.

Congratulations from one Pam newbie to another. Like the other guys have said, you will get used to the size and weight in no time.

You will get so used to the size that the Rollies will feel puny on your wrist.
It kind of takes the wind out of your sails. But in time you will get back to the Rollies and appreciate them too. i have a fondness for both brands. |

Thanks guys for the replies, I am really liking the simplicity of the 000. I do have ongoing thoughts in the back of my head with the 176, that is the one I was initially planning to buy before I looked hard at the 000, man that watch was comfortable on my wrist. I am getting used to the weight though, like you all said I would, it's just different.

Hi Jason - welcome...
Trevor, the good news about the 176 - is that it is regular production which means... It will be around for quite awhile and won't be difficult to pick up down the road....
