Stop posting the pics of pam 505 (even you're Mod, Dalip). i really wanted it from the first time i saw and tried it on my wrist at my local AD. it looks real sweet in the person. Should i get one too?

Get it and enjoy the different taste, Dalip. who cares about the composite issue because there are a lot of pam 505s' owners has Zero-Problems with the case. and i swear i will take care that cool-looking Pam very well if i can get one now.

What to do? Oh, I don't think I need to spell it out for you, right?

I had to re-read that a few times D.

A crush on a man??

Nice Pam.
They had put their composite material on hold due to some manufacturing issues but it looks like they are back harder and lighter.
The P9000 is a nice movement.

Price also looks good IMO.

That's an easy one Dalip, you just buy it, take the Saran wrap off of it and you enjoy the heck out of this watch!

It fits you very well my friend, it would look great in your collection.

Put the trigger yesterday. Because it keeps bugging me all the time since I saw and tried this beauty at my local ad last month, and because you guys keep posting the pics of it lately So can not wait for tomorrow.

P.s then I can not get AP FC soon, have to save a bit longer for it....

Do some research on this composite material and, like taking off the beer goggles, some of the attraction may fade quickly.
Or you might not care and get it anyway. ;)

if to what you are referring is the very limited 339 bubbling/fading issue, that seems to be a thing of the past. at least, that's what the launch of the 504 & 505 suggests. as does the fact that no issues have been reported.

yes, it's not "scratch proof" like ceramic, but the flip side is that the case won't shatter like ceramic can.

it depends on so many things and how you take care of your watch. and i wanna post here again:

*** No worry about that it, unless you use alcohol or perfume to clean your watch to apply it on your wrist all the time, then you should worry. i only use this with the warm water to clean all my watches:



Anyways, mine arrived here:
