The "dark" side

So today I acquired my first Pam, a 312. First impression is I like it alot. Bigger watch than I have ever wore. Looking forward to starting my strap collection.

Congrats~! Here's my 312 saying 'hello' and I'm still very much in love with. IMHO it looks best on vintage straps.

I really like how the 312 sits on the wrist. Dont really notice the larger size, just a little more weight. It's a good alternative to my watches with bracelets.
