My First PAM! Pics galore!!!
As some of you know, I'm getting married in October of '09 and my fiance wanted to get me something special. She wanted to get a watch, but knows how particular I am about them. So we worked at it together picking things she likes and things I like. I was showing her Rolex and Panerai. At the time when we started looking I was in love with the Rads. Thought the Lums where too big. Turns out I was wrong! She helped me realize that. What a good lady!!!!! She had me try on Lums over and over b/c she really liked them on me. Being the way I am, I went into detailed analysis mode and a VERY, VERY, VERY long story short, ended up on the 111G. Wanted the G because it is painted dial and it has the larger crown guard than the E or F. One showed up on the web and I picked it up. Enough about all that crap, you guys want to see the watch right?????
Well, I got a big box in the mail today! Biggest box I have ever got for a watch!!! Packaging looks really good. I love the overkill. This guy is just like me....packs too much! Right off the top I find some sweet swag! Haven't had a chance to look at them at all, but what a great gesture by the seller! I thought I remembered that straps were supposed to come with it. Better look through the packaging again... Ahhhhh, there they are. Look pretty good. The OEM brown, an OEM Rubber, an OEM nato and an extra non-OEM sharky. Well, let's go back to the box. 1st outer cardboard... Next onto the darker box... Finally, the third, beautiful wood box... Let's just peek inside....Nice packaging! What's under the covers. Ohhhhh Ahhhhh Let's go straight to the backside! Ohhhhhhh Myyyyyy Gooooooooooood!!!!!!!!! Soooooooooooooooooo niiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!! Taking a little time to bask in the sunlight! Feeling all warm and fuzzy.... Nicely decorated movement. Old school!!! Straight on shot! You can see all the way down to the escapement. Bingo! Big fat crown guard. The G was the first year with this and the only 111 that is painted with it. Feeling the love for the open 6'er!!!!!! Well, I'm not supposed to wear it before the wedding. Ah, she's not looking. Don't tell ok??? Fits good! OEM! Styling and profiling.... One more. *sigh* It is going to kill me to not wear this thing....but it'll just make that day so much more special! Thanks for looking guys!
