Picked it up today, very unexpectedly. The one they were getting for me was not coming in until January now. So i said that i might get something else, even somewhere else! The branch Manager says hold on, let me make a call. so he phones someone and then like a magician produces GUESS WHAT- the PAM 183. He saYs I just phoned another customer who has been waiting to collect this since September, he says he cannot pick it up until January now, so you can have this one and he will get the one ordered for you. Don't know if i believe him but at least i got it. Always gives me exemplary service so i want to believe this story but does it seem a bit strange??
Anyway after a long long wait here it is- simply majestic

Thanks for all the guys that helped me, especially Mik

Wrist shots in next post and i apologise for my bad pics. natural light is almost non existent in glasgow around this time of year. I find it really hard to capture the vibrance of the colours.

mfer · 27 November 2008, 04:47 AM

ALRIGHT!

I've been dieing to see it! A little jealous right now, but I know my 111, 1 or 5 is getting closer!!!

Big congrats. Let the strap hunting commence!

toph · 27 November 2008, 04:50 AM

Mik. they actually had a 0000 in store , much cheaper but the 183 was much nicer IMO.
the strap hunting has begun- there are so many it so bleedin hard to choose

P.S you will have yours soon enough so do not worry, and then it will be me with the PAM envy

Way to GO!!

How about a side-by-side with you GMT?? I'd like to see the size difference. BTW, I didn't end up making that short trip we talked about when I sent you a PM. Still need to make it down to the AD to try on the 183....
