Second Pam from David, Hard to Decide

Hello,

I'm from Brazil (Sorry my poor english) and planning to buy my second Pam from David.
Today I own 3 Pams, a Radiomir I bought here in Brazil (very good one), a PVD009 from David (the best) and a very bad replica Marina Militar (I'll change the dial etc. to make a non brand watch).
Sorry for not to post photos, as I can't find my camera.
Now I'm planning to buy a SS Panerai, and I'm choosing one of these:
The new upgraded dial 5218 201A
http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/ ... 20version/
Or the PAM005 NEW VERSION:
http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/ ... 20VERSION/
As I have 2 sandwich dials, I think the 005 is a bit different, and can be good in my collection, but, as I saw in the photos, the 201A is more accurate to the gen, I don't have them in hand and it is very hard to decide.
This way, I ask you guys, wich one? and where I can find a good Band to The PVD and my new watch, I'd like a Cognac one to the PVD and a Black one to the SS.
Thanks a lot,
Max

I believe Davidsen recently upgraded his 005's dial (even better than the dial pictured).
I haven't seen it yet or anything though.

i'd get david's previous 201. the new one is less accurate (sandwich dial, strange looking markers...especially the 3 is not defined at all, and wrong font).

Straps??????

Ok,

I'm studying they yet. I think I'll choose the 005, but thinking yet.

And what about the straps???? I need a good one for the PVD009 and another to the new one.

Please, send me good strap dealers to buy.

Thanks,

Max

http://www.tcstraps.com is a good place to start. Great quality straps, and Elliot is a great guy who does a lot of special pricing for users of this forum.

If you look at his dealer section here, you will find a coupon code that will get you 39% off any of his normal priced (non-custom order) straps.

There are others, like SMAT, HKTan, BOB, Don Ginsler, Shane Delaurian and Greg Stevens just to name a few.

No - 201A! :D

Must admit DSN's new 005 looks great and has C3 - thinking about this one myself.

I've decided already,

PAM 005 all upgrades, with black leather strap.

Thanks a lot, I'll wait Davidsen titanium panerai for my third PAM.
