I Pulled the Trigger!!! Proud owner of a New PAM 177!
Well after three hours in my AD in London, I went for it. Was deliberating and deliberating, there was no other watch I wanted and went into the store planning on probably buying the 177 but had never seen one in the flesh.
They also had a 111, but I preferred the Titanium case for its weight and its looks. I was also worried that it might be just too big, but as soon as it was on my wrist I knew it was a good fit and one of the most comfortable watches I've ever worn. Have got 14 days to return it as long as there are no signs of wear. Something tells me I'll be keeping it. Is a great watch, am now scared to put it on my wrist. pix will follow tomorrow, am charging the batteries for my Canon 5D tonight! any other 177 owners please post some pix. Am loving the Croc strap! I really thought I would go pre-owned but for the £700ish price difference from new it didnt seem like a good call. |

Pictures or it never happened! Just playing... No really, post up the pictures, JK!
Congrats! Ti is more scratch resistant as well since the entire case is brushed instead of being polished. I want one.... Droool. |

I really like the way its so understated, no one knows its a premium watch unless they are in the know. The manual wind is great. I like taking the watch off and watch the movement turn through the crystal back. am very happy with it! |
