Where I need to be.
you shared this on RWG and I was one of those who commented on the "8".. but it turned out you were right and I was wrong.
And hence, I became $418 poorer thanks to you. ;)

Honestly, I did not EVEN know what a PAM448 was before I read your post and saw the very nice pics.
And now, you had me googling and reading all about it, and the more I read about it, the more I love it.
Then I secretly, against the wishes of my wife, went to order one from a TD hehehe..

You sir, are a very bad influence. Lol

I can relate to the Googling and the wife ;)

Happy to help you spend your money :)

looks great mate. is it an OEM asso? I might have to try mine out on my 448 now haha

I am using the oem asso on my pam424 gen (which is totally gonna get sold)- I think it works well on that watch cause the hands are gold. I think the oem ranger works very well with the 448. I wouldn't have it any other way.

BTW, just my opinion: third party straps for radiomir style watches rarely work well.

i'm torn between which strap to put on my 448! sometimes i like the oem ranger, sometimes i like my black buffalo. i currently have it on the oem mx strap, and i also have an oem dark blue gator to dress it up for a special occasion! but yes i'm with you on the third party straps for rads thing. much prefer oem straps for my rads :)

oh and just out of curiosity, why do you want to sell your 424??

Ammo straps can be a great combo too.

Because most are to thick. Simona makes a great Rad strap. About 3.5mm thick and buttery soft. It's a lot like the one Proj pictures above.

These new pics are even more impressive

VINTAGE engraving between lugs seems better than in PAM 449, they are clean crisp, with no exaggerated deep and with no overpolished contours, really very accurate
Thanks

Rep 448!! :D I prefer putting my money into another watch - Some gen out there will catch my eye.. haha!

I got a nice vintage strap, but I haven't tried it on my 448 yet, it's 26/26, but the lug area is quite stiff so IDK if it will fit well.

Here's mine on a thick 26mm ammo strap and the lug area has very little bend...

Thanks all for the compliments on the pics... this is one photogenic PAM for sure and the first PAM rep in 2 years that I've kept for more than a week without flipping

This one just might be an official keeper.
