Pam 305

Hi guys,

Anybody owns this big boy? Any pics to share. Any thoughts? I'm thinking about getting this (also considering a Blancpain FF and IWC Top Gun).

Very nice piece, sits just perfect, I always liked the 243 but it does sit high and has a wobble to it, the wobble is good, its part of the character of the watch but with the 305 it sits lower and flatter as its more spread out at 47mm and the titanium construction makes the weight less and the wobble nill.

The face is superb, its bigger size reduces the porthole effect that the 24 / 243 etc have and the nice historic stick indicators make the dial very clean.

Add to that the movement, 1950's case, and brushed finish and it really is superb, not everyones cup of tea and regular production so it shouldnt be a problem getting one but very very nice.
