And so it happened... on a cold day on February 6th of 2012, and after much reading online (thank GOD i found this community!!!), I took a leap of faith and ordered a PAM 029 from Joshua. At first I was very, very nervous - everything seemed a little dangerous: from finding the right vendor (thank you rwg), to distinguishing the right website from its clones (thank you rwg), paying for what looked like an order of straps in another website (thank you rwg), to ordering for delivery in a country like Italy, where shady laws and a dubious postal system make rep buying extra risky (thank you Joshua!)... But 21 days later it arrives! I know nothing of watches or of their replicas, but I will say this: this watch feels nothing short of "real", and certainly does not look "cheap"! I turned teh watch in my hand, looking hard to find flaws (the screws? no, perfect. The glass? no way!). I did find them teh so-called "flaws": the strap is not as great as it could be (black leather, but being in Florence, Italy, I do know what good leather looks and feels like, and this is not it, although it is perfectly passable for everyday use); and the hands on the watch are ever so slightly imperfect along the edges - if you look very, very, very close. As for the movement, like I said before I know nothing of watches - it seems to work ) I owe a note to Joshua: dealing with him was easy, he was extremely efficient and detailed - suggesting the "alternative" payment method and providing clear instructions, sending good QC pictures, and reassuring me (I know I know) when needed... I'll certainly be coming back for more - I NEED ONE MORE!!!!!!!!! Terrible picture attached for anyone's curiosity...
