burnz Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 after considering the whole bunch of PAM subs from 24 -> 87 -> 243 -> 187, i finally made up my mind and pulled the trigger on the 305! it's got everything i'm looking for.. 47mm 1950 case in titanium, and a very clean dial that pays homage to the 2533.. and it wears very well and comfortable on the wrist despite its size still hunting for a nice strap to go with it though, maybe a gunny.. hmm... ok, no more talk... here we go!

PeteM Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Agh mate.... Thats a real beaut!!! Congrats a lovely choice such a crisply detailed and fine looking watch. Wheres the lume shot??!! ?? What strap you thinking of apart from the ammo? If you went ammo style I think a black back stitch and black sealed edge would look well. I also think a nice quality CF would suit it or Look foreward to seeing your final choice Wear it well mate:thumbsupsmileyanim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnz Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 thanks guys.. still can't decide on the right strap to go with the 305.. i know i want a nice calf hide, preferably not too distressed but still with some texture.. saw some on risti.com but still undecided as yet.. Lovely watch. What model is the other Pam? the other pam is a 312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Very nice watch. Wear that one well. I am still saving up the pennies for the original 233 never mind the 300 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unregistered Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Very nice mate, seen a couple of them in the pre-loved shops of late in town, is that where you picked it up? 243 and 305 are two topmost subs in my book, so lovely pickup.

unregistered Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I saw that 305 there about 2/3 weeks back, plus the 127 as well, not sure if they are still there now. Not really into PAMs these days besides my vintage puppies. I've got a 6152/1 project going on now (log on wc) and have been bitten by the Anonimo bug as of late. Gone through 2, and nearly picked up a 3rd over the weekend. You know my thoughts on the 312, looks great in pics, sits weird on my wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinsk Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I always thought my first (eventual) gen pam was going to be a 312... but that 305 just may have swayed me! Sensational! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unregistered Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 This is a more budget build to be honest. There still is an Okabum CG winging its way to me now which will be included that's not pictured. Movement at this point will be an A6497 and if I really dig the piece, I'll swap in a swiss 6497 at some point. I do love the SF240s, Cortebert 618s and even a rebridged mollie, but with a solid caseback, I just don't really see the point and I don't want to put a display caseback on this. Anyhow, another discussion for us when I come for the GTG. For now, let's concentrate on your stunning 2533...oops 305 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
