Icon7 New addition the Pamily

New addition the Pamily

Did a little trade with a local Pam collector (who's also a great guy ) and now have a new addition...

Pam 111 F series with Panerai engraving on movement... Never saw it in person and it's gorgeous!

He was even nice enough to throw in this custom gator strap which is now the fave of my collection.

Damn these PAMs are addictive :) Here's the Pamily shot with more pics to follow.

Very nice. Here is your posted picture so people don't have to click on link.



I love the painted dial luminors. I have a 111G painted dial myself.

Hey brutha you seem awful familiar for some reason? LoL! That movement is amazing and I'm trying to figure out why they'd stop using it? Too expensive? Takes longer to produce? It adds a LOT to the visual of it and gives it a uniqueness that an undecorated movement really lacks...
Wait till you see my 111 on this nice Codman strap that I just received :)

You have a Codman, that is awesome. Keith is a friend of mine, he actually lives right down the road from me. I am going to get one of his straps for Fathers Day next weekend, my wife just needs to go pick it up.

You will love that Codman strap, he does a great job.

Trevor,
Small world no? I actually got this as a gift from my Pam brutha "heart82" who thinks very highly of Keith's work

It develops nice scars and patina the more you wear it. I'm really enjoying it. It is the least expensive strap I own and one of my favs.

Exactly right... for that price you simply can't go wrong!
