I'm not looking for another Pam at the moment...trying to diversify these days. Picked up a 42mm Explorer, AP Diver, and have made a few vintage Pams over the last few months.

So what watches have you got lately that has made you go wow? I like 40mm + watches. Maybe a new SOSF, Seawolf, white dial 42mm Explorer (have a white one). Never had a Hublot, but not too sure on those. List up what you guys like and pics help too :)

Thanks!

Coldi I've owned em all. The Hublot diver is awesome but I sold it. I own only 8 watches now.....and they are all Pams.

Have you ever owned a Mare Nostrum? That's a hell of a cool watch. Right in the budget too. Awesome movement and totally unique.

I've always been a PAM guy but the latest H Factory SOSF and the Seawolf (if you could find one) has really caught my attention. Funny thing is prior to this to I've always thought Breitlings as ugly. Trust your guts, you want the SOSF.

The mare is cool but just not feeling another Pam. I have ten modern ones and two vintage ones. I just want to shake things up a bit

Big pilot or 3717. Seawolf or white sticks SA. Tag Carrera.
That's really more or less my wish list so those are my recommendations.

I recently replaced my B&R 02-93 'Military' because I 'vintage-ized my first one and missed it so much. With a genuine green fabric strap and a 2836 movement it is really cool.

If you haven't ventured into Breitling, you owe it to yourself to try them. The new SOSF is a must have for anyone that missed the original swissfish run. Also have a look at TAG, there are some really nice Carreras out there.

I wasn't a huge fan of my SOSF I briefly owned, but I know I would be in the minority.

I wasnt a big fan when I first got it. I much prefer the larger SA or my skyland. But by comparison to those two, the sosf is like the Submariner to the DSSD. It has definitely grown on me though... I wear it all the time around the house. When I go out for the day, Ill switch to the Skyland.
