Dead Man Walking! (Pam 312)

Dead man walking! That's what they usually say when somebody sentenced to death starts walking to the electric chair or the lethal injection chamber to finally meet his maker.

Well, that would be me after the fiance finds out about this. After making several promises to the fiance, saying I would no longer buy a watch this year, here I am with another one. Call me crazy! I did it again! 3 Pams in 5 weeks. I can only blame you guys for this! :swear: You and your Pam posts!

Oh well! Might as well enjoy my last few days with my 312...

Congrats on a great buy. When I bought my 312 on a biz trip to the UK I didn't tell my wife. I thought that if I carefully rotated with my 88 that she wouldn't notice, at least for a while.

I was wrong.

Thanks for the kind words guys! It took about a hundred plus shots to come up with 10 good photos.

Got a Pam 90 last June. Then a 112 a week ago. And now, the 312.

Icon7 Congratualtions on your new PAM

...Except for the money... there is one good thing about beeing a collector..my wife can never tell if I have bought a new/vintage watch... as I have som many I am anyway often changing my watch :-)
I bought 15 watches in November/December 2009 and so far 3 this year, so my wallet is still recovering a bit.

Cheers
Hans

You're living on borrowed time. She'll find out.

The sad thing about it is that I can't take my watches with me when my time finally expires!

What you need to do Daxboy is to sell some of your watch collection and that way you can tell her that you are selling some to get different ones. If she doesn't buy that your are definitely "Living on borrowed time...."

Hahaha! Thanks guys!

Will let you know when the fiance throws me out of the house!

You are correct my friend, the fiance is more important than any watch.

About selling my collection, I prefer not having to sell any.

Very nice and the best thing about Pam's is that are hardly noticable on the wrist.
