You freak!


Love it bro, remember you don't blame a person for turning you on to a brand, you thank them.

My 233 is on the block, a very good friend of mine found that "other" one I was after for a unreal price, just speechless.


Great pic my friend.

dman, that 233 is pretty much a grail watch. What are you upgrading to?

A wonderful collection. And the selection of straps is also varied and interesting. Do you change up the straps often? I seem to be changing and experimenting all the time... Larry.

Thanks guys,
Daren, I Love you Bro.
Thanks for getting me hooked

I do change straps quite a bit.
I do tend to keep the 98 & 190 ( the two with the Gator straps) without changing, I find the OEM are smoking on those two.

Thanks John, you know you are my man!! U BET!

The new one incoming is a discontinued Special Edition that is selling for double the price of the original list. I got it at the prices that were being asked 10 months ago before it got out of hand on the secondary market. Should be on the wrist in about a week.

Nice collection

Quite a treasure box you have

Your collection is about as big as my AD inventory!

I just picked up a Rolex GMT II and I'm already considering a Pam 88 (GMT as well - I suspect you probably already knew that ). Panerai just makes a killer watch.

Thanks for sharing your pics!

Stunning ! Every bit as good as DannyTams collection of Rolexes.
Its really good for someone new to PAMs like me to see so many examples together.
It makes it easy to flick backwards and forwards between the models.
