My new PAM...

Hi all,

Here's my new PAM - a PAM233. I've had this for a little while now. Firstly I had buyers remorse, I could not get myself to accept I spent this much on a watch. But now I'm loving every minute of it. I'll write a review of it shortly.

Hope you like the pics.

Lovely watch.

Good to hear you've accepted the joy it can bring over any cost.

Huge congrats!

Congrats on the 233! I had the same feelings when I got mine a few weeks ago as well, but now I can't get the watch of my wrist. Enjoy and wear in good health.

Cheers,
James

Thanks everyone for your words of support. I was asking myself again and again if I should just put the darn watch back out for sale when I first got it because I had never thought of spending this much. Actually, my knowledge of PAMs stopped at the 312, because that was the limit that I thought I would ever spend on a watch. All the references beyond that in price I practically ignored. So here I am with my new watch, happy as a kid in a candy store and putting the GMT to good use as I've been travelling in different time zones. My full review of this beast to come! : - )
