Thanks! It's the 286, a limited edition of 500 for 2007, and it was at first sight for me.

A few more taken just now sitting in my easy chair:

Felly, being a Pam neophyte is that 44mm? Do you mind if I ask roughly what is the size of your wrist?

Btw, that thing is sweet!

Hi Mike, yes, it's 44mm. I've never measured my wrist but the straps it came with were not long enough so I had to get a set of longer straps in order for it to fit me correctly.

Thanks JJ! They call the textured part that looks like a waffle pattern "Paris Hobnail". Pretty interesting name, might have to google it.

The first time I saw the word "Hobnail", it was associated with a Patek bezel, the Calatrava dress watch I think. Very nice!!

Love the blue second hands. A black leather strap with blue stitching would look perfect. Oh, and empty the trash.

I know, I know, take out the papers and the trash............

So where do I look for one of those black leather straps with the blue stitching? I saw a watch like mine in some pic's with that same strap but don't know where to get one.

Check this guy out. I might order the one next to it on the right with the military green stitching. Looking for a stitching to offset the lume on the Rattrapante. What do you think?

That Blue second hand is really nice. I guess Rolex took the Red, so the PAM took the Blue?
It is a cool accent.

IMO it's just the right amount of blue on the dial.

Never mind on the strap for mine. After looking closer and with the watch in hand it's too dark. I'm going to e-mail him about a lighter stitching.

Sipho, where if you don't mind telling me did you get that strap? That's kinda like what I've been looking for.
