I'm at the phase now that I get the strap first, then I get a watch for that strap. I know thats crazy, but some straps are very hard to get. I got a Strapmaster Xamas first and am awaiting Davidsen's 201a to put on it. Also bought a Dirk PVD which will go just fine with the 195 from David.

Same here as well

pug, can u send me the link for that specific strap u are getting, thanks looks great
I have the strap, hence the pictures. :D

The strap was one of Elazarus's "Big Balls" specials. a rediculously low price for a random strap. I think I got lucky, but everyone that does the Big Balls seems top say that. I bought a strap that would fit a 111h to force myself into making a decision.

...and gettign a 24mm pretty much ties me down to the 111h. It was indeed a cunning plan.

Not so fast Pug. I still waiting for my tax return. Your crown might be short lived :wink:
Yet to take the panerai plunge, but the day is near.

Congradulations, by-the-way.
Cheers, matey.

However, I am planning on only buying one or maybe two PAMs, and that's it. We'll see how PAMfeeeevah takes on me, eh?

I have three watches in the ether. The 111h will most likely arrive last.

Any of you with flight trackers can watch flight AF117 from Shanghai to Paris 2006-05-22 13:00. The Legend will have a window seat.

I have one Big Balls strap waiting and another on the way. The Legend will be spoiled for choice. Do Black Seals take 24mm straps too? The Legend may get lonely, see ...

whacha talking about?
EMS Tracking for my PAM111h from Silix includes a flight number. My 111h is on Air France flight 117 tomorrow. It arrives in Paris CDG at 17:30. From there, it proceeds to customs where it will get annoyed by customs officers before being lost behind a cupboard in their cafeteria.

Eventually, it'll make its way to La Poste where it will be set upon by their wolves that will test Silix's packaging to the full.

In theory, I should get it soon after that, say 2008 or so.

Asian, $110.

Cheap but good, according to reports. I don't want to spend a fortune on my first PAM in case I don't like it.

Sorry, I was just pulling your leg, knowing how excited you may be about your new watch.
It's more entertaining to be enthousiastic, even when it's just another watch. It'll get here when it gets here. :D
