I'll never buy a PAM

Hi everyone,
I share my first experience in the world of replicas until the first purchase.
After several months of reading on the very useful RWI guides, on the TDs and on the replica market I made my evaluations for my first purchase .. the first time is never forgotten.
Excluding Rolex because it is too commercial, I gradually fell in love with different watches but with a question that was buzzing in my head: how do you like Panerai watches, I'll never buy a PAM ..
I started to orient myself on watches close to me like TAG F1 and Aquaracer, Omega like SEAMASTER DIVER 300M and Omega Specter 007, up to the beautiful IWC 377717.
I looked a lot at the posts on the wrists and the m2m.
But from time to time I also took a look at the Panerai and more and more I said you know that these PAMs are not all the same and some are really nice ...
Well moral of the story today I feel like those who start listening to music, first it seems to you that any Hi-Fi system is the same then the more you listen to the music the more you feel the differences .. Now after months I sharpened my eyes and I did the first two purchases, two splendid Panerai:
- PAM 111 v11
- PAM 682
I'm waiting for them they are fantastic .. and maybe someday I'll be ready for a 47mm
Now I'm really excited and scared ... this will become a disease
Sorry for my English

Heh yeah, they are an acquired taste.

Btw where did you get the 682 from? As far as I know they are out of stock at all TDs.

Welcome to the Pam family.
It is like a disease and by the looks of it, you’ve got it.

Don’t be afraid of the 47’s. They are great and, depending g on the mode, as comfortable as a 44.

Now the next symptom of this disease is strap related.

Enjoy your new Pams and welcome to the Pamily!

I wasn't as set against them as you seemed to be from the start, but after grabbing a 111, then added a few more. I think the worse thing is that I've spent far more on straps for mine then I did on several watches. Best of luck and enjoy!

You can also get REALLY sick and catch a specific maker/strap virus:

I don't have straps disease yet, however, this year every month I bought myself a PAM. I feel like I need a new one

Unlike you, I have always liked a Pam.

Now I have 25 of them , and about 50 straps! :-0 And it keeps growing!

I am now building custom vintage ones for myself as well! That is another "Pandora's box" completely....
