Hi guys,

I am stuggling wich PAM to buy next.
I really love the look and character of the 382, the only problem is that it is quite expensive and I can't find an used one in M2M.
The second option is the 569. I love the hobnail dial and vintage lume but I don't know how a titanium watch feels and if I am going to like a destro watch. The price is the best part of this one, I can buy a new one and have some spare change to buy a nice strap.

What would you do?

I don't usually say that but get both if you can. I know I will. :) They are both amazing watches on their own way. I have a Bronzo and I love it because of its character but 569 is just gorgeous watch and if I don't catch something else in m2m, it will probably be my next watch.

If I had the funds I would have bought them both as well!
The problem is I sold another watch and with that money I am going to buy a PAM, maybe add $50

You'll be hard pressed to find someone giving up their Bronzo. Order one from a TD.

That is the main issue indeed, I will save up and order a new one later on

I would say 569 and a new strap, but the destro feel can take a bit of time to settle in.

Nice pics mate

I think I'll wait a few days for a 382 to pop up on m2m, otherwise I'll take the 569

I love the 569 and for the price (almost half as much) it's tough not to pick it.

There are a few people selling their V1 382 or early KV version. If you are not fuss, wait around. The latter version has better pearl and bezel click alignment from what I read

This might help someone make their choice. Or make it harder. Got this 382 yesterday and lemonised it.
