I just purchased my first Pam. I was thinking about getting a Breitling decided I prefered the Pam more. It's a Pam 000 logo, it is being shipped and I should have it by Tuesday next week.

PICs to follow.

Thanks Joe, I can't wait to take some (Wrist Shots). It's definitely different than anything else that I have to this point.

Thanks Joe, I purchased the deployant clasp, but they are throwing in a Brown Croc for free. So I have a couple of options to start with.

Eric, Geez it took you long enough. I was waiting on your post.

Thanks Eric, just starting to look at a couple threads to figure out where I need to go in regards to getting some more straps.

As im flying east next week Wednesday to visit family and more important a sick dad for two and 1/2 weeks. I will be asking David to delay shipment. Thats Ok, I can handle the wait as I have lots of family issues I need to attend to in Sydney so I shouldnt be distracted with a new watch. Long story mate! So I should have it by 2nd or 3rd of May...

Dan,
Congrats on a great first PAM. The Base is the first step down a slippery slope! Collecting straps is a disease. Once you've got a drawer full, you'll find yourself needing another PAM to get more use out of those straps... and the vicious cycle goes on.

I'm a recovering strapaholic... six PAMs and over 40 straps now down to two PAMs and 15 straps. And I'm just a mild case! Be forewarned.

Mike
