collection selection

[That]

well guys their comes a time in every collectors life where they need to join the rankings of the pam collectors

and i feel as mine is near, i have narrowed my selection to 3 watches
a pam 390 for its simplicity, a 177/111 for the clean look with the sec at 9 and a 104 because i like the sec at 9 and the date window, i was considering one of the boutique models as well a 417 or 434

does it sound like a smooth trip down the slippery pam slope for me?

I bought my first just recently the 111 from BK and i didnt just slide down the slope i fell off the cliff = ) They are truly amazing.... Good luck its a great habit

111 might be my start point but i really like the 417/434 case backs

Well it's funny to hear someone else is tinkering with the PAM infliction. I have been at to edge for sometime now and have zeroed in on the 111 for all the obvious reasons but I think I am leaning towards the 312 or 328. I like the case style a little better with the older shape. In any case I am about to join you for a ride down the slope......

Go for what you like and want to wear would be my advice

 

[BigBuys]

You will never be the same after the first.

The 177 is a must have and the 312/351/or 359 is my personal favorites. I bought all three!

The 47mm, if you can, should be at least a 187 and 127.

Good luck with your new budgetary problems.

299K NOOB!!!! Awesome super rep that comes with a brushed bracelet. The bracelet is a work of art and a super rep in itself. Sell it if you don't like it.

The 299K is the way to go for seconds at 9 with a date window.

Yeah, but you buy those later. The rep OEM straps are mostly no bueno...

I have several straps for my 299

Heroic18 Primative Brown


Custom Cordovan


The Stainless bracelet is just a bonus

I have a bunch of straps for my 299 as well. Bracelet gets used rarely, for dinners, and such. Heres a photo of the Yellow Dive on it.

My first PAM was a 111 a few months ago. Then an 088. And about to pull the trigger on a 389 and then a 441 or 438 if I can get it. 111 is a good place to start.
