QoS PO & SMP or PAM 111?

I currently own a LE QoS PO. I initially intended to flip it tomorrow for a PAM 111. Today a shipment arrived and it was 3 nato straps and a carbon fiber leather strap, all which I ordered a while ago. They're 20mm and won't do any good on the PO, nor on the Panerai.

I've also recently been playing with the thought of getting a SMP, a smaller watch for daily wear, which I can play with along with the natos and straps.

The thing is I can't afford all the above. I can either flip the PO for the PAM or keep the PO and get a Quartz, black SMP.

What do you guys think I should do? Oh and I know this sounds lame but if the rumours are true and the next 007 would have a Rolex, would my QoS PO be any more valuable, since it's that last Bond watch?

The pictures are not of a limited edition QofS watch so doubt it would be worth anymore than a normal PO

The pictures are of the SeaMaster I intend to buy, the LE can be found on this thread.

Here is a better picture from online.

First thing I'd say is :buy what you like.

second thing I'd say is: go for a PAM and SMP combo rather than SMP and PO combo..just my opinion.

Thank you. You and baldy have been very helpful. I'm sorry, what I meant was to post a photo of a 2264.50?

Thanks.

That actually makes sense. I can get the PAM now and look forward to a SMP later on. Or if the PO doesn't get the price I want, I can get the SMP and try selling the PO later on.

Nice idea Mohammed.

But do get a 2254.50 B4 it's too late, the best timeless in style 'keeper' you could want really and today at such a good price....not the tick tick of the quartz where the second hand doesn't always meet the minute markers da di da.......get the tick tock
