The only thing now separating me from this on my wrist is a shipper. /whimper

I bought from a private seller. I wanted the smaller GMT, having tried on both case sizes I knew I liked it better. I actually tried on a 244 on a brown croc at an AD, but didn't work it out with them. I really like the face of the 88's a lot.

I think you just missed a used 88 for sale on this forum. I found that they are probably easier to find than the 244's. Seems like the 40mm Pams are rarer because there is less demand for them.

I love the reverse-cyclops on my 48, I think you'll dig it! Here's to 40mm PAMs! I have my doubts about people saying to 40s don't hold resale value well, I think because they are less common int he used market they'd hold up well, however, I don't plan on letting mine go, ever.

Been there. You'll be fine when it adorns your wrist.

Arrival Pics

Well, hello there, a package for me?



Let's see what's in this baby.



Oh, look, the seller gave me an extra strap, in rubber.



A very bad picture of a very happy presentation box.



Looks great on the wrist.





Let's see how this might look with yesterday's arrival, a strap by DaLuca:







Awesome, I love it. Hope you enjoyed the photos.

Daniel, you were excellent to work with. Custom designed my own strap and had it in hand in a matter of a couple of days.

I Highly recommend Dan's work to anyone.
