Got notice from the post office yesterday and picked it up this morning.

I want to preface this by saying that Im not a super-duper Pam guy - I have a couple but I dont know them backwards and forwards. Also, Im usually not into simple watches, and with Pams I havent ever understood the fascination with the 111s and 005s with their relatively plain dials.

Having said all of that - this is a great watch. The black coating looks great - nice matte texture. The dial looks pristine, the crown guard lever (wrong term Im sure) is relatively firm. Honestly, the starkness of this type of watch IS what makes is great.

I havent received my Gunny strap yet, but it did come with a strap. It barely fits on my 8.5 inch wrists, but its gonna have to do until my Gunny comes in. Its just pretty stiff and the color reminds me of beef jerky.

Anyway, here are a few phone pics from work. Thanks again to Davidsen for supplying RWI with this watch for the birthday raffle - very generous considering this is such a fine watch. Also, thanks for RWI, the mods and admins for making this all happen, both the birthday bash and this forum.

Glad you like it mate.
Many thanks once again to Gunny for the strap and huge, huge thanks to DSN for donating not one but two of these gorgeous watches!

congrats!

nice watch and please show pics with the gunny strap attached when it arrives

there is complexity in the simplicity of the base pam design.....one of those "less is more" things

ok im back with pictures... again i got the amazin watch (thanks davidsen thanks rwi) the strap wasnt my fav. it was the same as u have there , that red wine color , so i changed the color , imo i think the color looks a lot better , it has a vintage look and looks a 100 times better and matches the color of the numbers on the dial . enjoy the pics and let me know if u wanna change the color as well :)

Sometimes elegance and simplicity go hand in hand.

Great looking watch.

Congratulations. :)

Im gonna agree with PecMan about the stock strap the 360 came with - I liken it to a piece of beef jerky. However, I received the other part of my winnings yesterday - a Gunny 203 strap. Pics to prove it.

The ones using the flash dont represent the strap's color well, but the last two do. I went with the sewn PVD buckle.

I never saw the need for high dolla straps on my Pams, but this one is so luxuriously soft it makes me completely reconsider.
