Hi guys.

Sad to say.

Anybody else go through this?

if so, what was the model that got you back into it?

Not at all........ My Bronzo still gets the majority of wrist time, followed by the 371. I do favor the 47mm Subs versus the 44's

Everybody goes through phases with PAMs. Hot-cold-hot-cold, etc. It is normal. It is like with any girlfriend.

Well i have to admit it has been boring lately especially when there are no good productions to look forward to. It has been a while since the Pam section has the '111' hype.

I'm right there with you. Try the new sea dweller. It's a nice change and is well made

Nope, I love them. Have kept them off the wrist once in a while, because if they are there too long, You simply can´t wear anything else.
Back to my cheapest and favourite 47mm right now, the mini-EGI with the 5-minute clicking bezel. Maybe if You go off the beaten track.....

029,088, 111, 243, and a fiddy.

Those were great reps. PAMs are really not your thing. I have the 111 and was looking for a 088 Noob but it's unfortunately out of stock everywhere.

I started with the 005 and realized that they are mostly just overpriced watches with cheap hand wind movements. And that's both reps and gens.

Then had a brief love affair with the 288k until the 7750 movement was serviced twice and still didn't work right. But that was more about the movement than the watch.

And the Bronzo is hideous!

Can't make up my mind about mine. My only Pam.
Bought after seeing your great pictures.
Nothing mini about it though! It's a beast of a thing. Perhaps my 7.25" wrist isn't big enough, or I need to get more used to it.
Cheap enough to keep regardless.
Now with an oiled strap on it which is a lot nicer.

"Nothing mini, beast of a thing":), lol, the PAM193 "Tuna-Can", now that´s a huge beast with 22mm height.
This one is "only" 16,7 mm high, maybe that´s why I like it with the flat back pm the 7.5 wrist. Same class as the AP Diver to me, still didn´t quite figure out why some on the individual wrist seem huge and others not....

I think it has to do with the wrist shape. I don't have a large wrist, but since it's flat I feel comfortable wearing any size, except the 60mm egi that is :)

And btw how can someone go limp on PAMs is beyond my understanding... :lol:

Take a look at a Bettarini case or a 1950 case or a 1940 case in profile from 9 o'clock or 4 o'clock. They are things of timeless beauty, pieces of fine architecture. Panerais look like no other watch. That fact alone is enough to have at least one in my collection ?

I've been into the ceramic models lately. Truthfully, I'm glad I waited 8 years to get back in the rep game. I haven't had to wait for a lot of goodies. It's like Christmas at my fingertips.
