Hi guys,
I thought I would check in and share my newest acquisition. I owned a PAM 111 briefly about five years ago and always regretted selling it, so I am finally back in the mix.

I had been looking at everything from a 112 to a 312 and finally decided that the ZERO would be a perfect place to re-introduce myself to the brand. I put it on OEM Dark Brown Vintage Calf with a brushed Pre-V buckle and I think it looks amazing.

The next PAM in my sights is a 233 and I think that my new 000 will make the perfect little sister.

It feels good to be back...here is my first PAM wrist shot!

axjimenez · 4 May 2011, 04:32 AM

Cru Jones · 4 May 2011, 04:37 AM

Thanks Cru! I kept seeing pictures of your beautiful 164 and just couldn't resist the PAMs any longer.

Congrats Charles! I am currently Pamless, but will buy another some day like you did.

Congrats - love that strap combo too

TopNotchChach · 4 May 2011, 06:07 AM

The simpleness of the watch is sexy.

congrats!

Thanks Eric!!! I am thrilled with it. I am contemplating a lighter calf (perhaps an ammo), an OEM Vintage Black with contrast stitching and maybe even a reddish brown croc. Any strap suggestions for me?

Sounds good mate

I only have a couple of "personalised" Toshi straps and a boring OEM croc with White stitching strap for my Zero Hero

Fantastic, Charlie!!!
Looks amazing- don't you love the "vintage" OEM calf straps?
I'm wanting a 233 as well...

Congrats on your new pam. Looks great on the wrist. Check out ted su straps. Enjoy.

Fantastic choice Charles....welcome back to the world of Panerai

The 000 looks perfect on your wrist in that combo

dddrees · 4 May 2011, 12:08 PM

Welcome back Charles, Great Choice and Congrats.

That's the Pam I just got about a month ago.

I like that strap by the way.

Thank you my friend! It was your "encouragement" that was instrumental in my decision. It will be interesting to see which one of us breaks first and buys a new 233!

Thanks so much Dan! I saw pics of your 000 in the WRUW thread earlier this morning...looks great. Any strap suggestions for me?

DrewWatson · 5 May 2011, 01:08 AM

Many congrats on the new addition! The PAM000 became a classic the instant it was released. Also, since you mentioned straps, I think you'll really appreciate its versatility. You can go casual, dressed up a bit, colorful, rubber...they all look equally at home on the zero.

Enjoy and wear it well!

glimmer · 5 May 2011, 08:23 AM

Congratulations on the 000. I just got a 111 yesterday and I think it's a great looking watch...

To be honest I haven't had mine for a full month yet and this is my first Pam. I have the Black Calf, and the rubber which came with it. They threw in an OEM Brown Croc, and I ordered the OEM Calf gold Montecarlo.

But I am sure there are alot more people here who could give you tons better advice than I can. I'm still a babe in the woods.

hng · 5 May 2011, 11:26 AM

Great ZERO!

superb · 5 May 2011, 01:53 PM

Charles, congrats on the latest of the Pam 0 series. Nice watch you got there. Can i check with you the N series is a series of 1500 watches right?

Yep. You are correct. The N series 000 is 1500 watches. Mine is a very very low number, so I am guessing it was the first N the AD would have seen.
