TRAITOR!!! How dare you come back here and tell us you've gone Pannie.


Seriously, Mike. Congratulations. It's one of the few PAMs I would consider getting. Enjoy it.

Congrats!
The 88 is my favorite GMT! I hope that they are on the money for 8-9 weeks- I have been on the list for a 221 that was supposed to take 6 weeks-that was in May...

Congrats on the 88! If you got it BNIB, then you may have a chance that Daren hasn't handled it or owned it... at this point anyways.

It's a beauty! I saw two in one shop in T'ronna on Saturday. Beautiful!

I tried, Daren, I really did. I strapped on an 88 on Saturday while in TO. It had been sold and was awaiting pick up, but the salesman brought out to show me. It's nice, but it's just not my cuppa.

But as I've said, IF I was going to go PAM, that would be the one I would go for.

If they only made the Maurice Lacroix Double Retrograde in an automatic, I would snap that puppy up in a minute.
