233!! No!

Denied.
Been saving for a new Pam but got side tracked when someone plundered my stash.
Wife had been wanting a Hulk, but then decided she thought my Pam was very cool.
We have been having a tough time with some extended family these past few months and she has been quite 'down'.
She saw the 219 and fell in love with it. Out shopping last weekend happened to see my local shop had one, so we went in to try it on. She loved it.
So, for me, it's back to saving again for that elusive model I've been wanting. For her, it's happiness to look down and see her 1st real watch. Which of course makes me happy too!
OK, thanks for reading this far.
Here is her new watch.






and a very bad cell phone pic of our beauties on our wrists.

Good move. It looks great on her - I also like the blue croc.

I predict the 233 will be with you in no time.

Thanks! The blue is nice, just ordered a red Cordovan she liked and should look good as well. Cheers!

Rich, you did the right thing - a happy lady by your side is priceless

Don't worry, 233 will still be there when you've recovered!

You're right, and until that magical day, I have the photos of your beauty to admire.
Cheers Friend!

They both look great rich.
How come though, if your wife isn't a "lefty", she prefers the lefty?
BTW, I'm a lefty, but have never owned one.

cheers,
richard

Thanks! Good question. I don't know. But to tell the truth, I really like the destro models as well. 219, 217, or a sweet 368. I would take any of those.
Cheers!

In my case, when I bought my wife a PAM, it feels more happy than I buy myself another PAM.
The smile on my wife's face always looks more happier, lol

Anyway, it's a great move, Rich!!
