I also want my first PAM. But I'm not that familiar with them.
But before I buy, I want to know if gen. PAM's have single or dual AR coating???
Can someone please answer that for me?

AR coating on the inside only. The bigger "tell" surrounding AR is the color. The gens have a light blue AR color, IIRC. The reps either have a much deeper blue for the newer stuff or a purple-ish color for some of the older reps.

you did great on both counts....i noticed the date mag on the 090's WBK has and it seems to better than average at least from his pics....so let us know
trevors bargain is just that....$$$$$well spent my friend....looks like the Panfection is spreading rather quickly in your case.....it slowly evolves into a rather nasty case of Strapitis...you have been forwarned.....enjoy the madness

Davidsen's cases are different from the others. So, if you don't get the bracelet and watch from him, the bracelet probably won't fit.

No idea about the other dealers' watches. Your best/safest bet is to get the watch/bracelet at the same time from the same dealer.

Panerais are smart-looking watches. I still don't know if I'd like the size. And the big question: stainless bracelet or leather strap?

Your right, I need a brown leather and a SS strap, then I am done spending money for a while. I bought these two pams and a breitling evo yesterday, as well as a watch case for them. Now is the very hard part w/ waiting. Im not new to the importation scence, as I have ordered Cubans cigars from HK, so i knew what I was in for, but its so hard to be patient.
