pafre Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Here are the 5 PAM I purchased in the last week. From left to right: Ruby's 036 DSN 082 modded DSN 111F modded 192 292
pafre Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Posted June 5, 2008 OK you got bitten by the bug BAAAAAAAAD Oh yes, real bad, my wallet still hurts
alligoat Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Just keep reminding yourself that you got five great watches. You couldn't even buy one gen Pam for $2200.
hooky Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Hi, did you get the 192 from a dealer or from a member? That one is still on my list....
deltatahoe Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 it's funny how things go in waves isn't it? one week none of the watches look interesting, the next week you find five that fit your fancy enjoy the new watches; wear them well deltatahoe
mikellem Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 @pafre, Look at the 5 beautiful high end pcs you have now! Enjoy... You will get your monies worth... You will see... Enjoy your new babies...
Sir-Lancelot Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 dang Bro, I thought I had problems doing things in moderation. Now you need a logo and a base, oh and don't forget a nice T dial PVD. I kid. Enjoy your collection.
blueradish Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Very nice, this is one jealous guy. I wish I had the balls to order 5 at once.
dadog13 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 lovely...especially the DSN PAM082...(if you decide to let it go, PM me) now you have to do some additional mods and change the straps on some of them (maybe all of them! ) enjoy them!
capice Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 so you're collection is complete now.... awesome strap on the 036 wear it well
pafre Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks everyone for the nice words. I'll try to add better individual pictures shortly. I have to say that part of the funds came from selling some of my other watches. There is still the 195 that I'm interested in, but it will have to wait @hooky: got the 192 from a member here @andy: thanks, got it just in time like it was supposed to. The watch is great and the lume is awesome @dadog: there is a least 1 strap I won't change, the 111 has a gen Panerai strap on it.
dadog13 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 @pafre...I am not crazy about gen PAM straps...there are only a couple of them that I like but they are way too expensive compared to the aftermarket ones...I have a gen calf strap for a PAM and I never ever thought of wearing it...got it as a present from a friend of mine... I spent 1700$ on reps last week as well...got 6 new babies...love them all...but somehow I like more to buy each one separately and to enjoy each one at least for a couple of weeks before getting a new one...buying them in a short period of time (I bought them and had them in my hands the same day) it doesn't give me all the excitement that otherwise I feel...
fishgodeep Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Oh dear,.....the bug got you too eh??? ....that's a big spend in one go and there is no cure (rehab doesn't work!!)....just enjoy them and then buy more!!!!! FGD
cc Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 you'll know when the Pam bug really hit you when you decide to purchase a gen Pam....
hiker01 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 .............and then after awhile, you loose interest..............and you saw new models, maybe new brands???????? and the itch starts all over again~! Just make sure that bank account is always loaded! Good luck! BTW: Nice collection!
wheaton26 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 pafre, wish i could have advised you before you went absolutely nuts. lol. i went through a similar situation a few years ago. i was introduced to panerai and instantly went on a watch bender. i bought many reps until i realized that i wouldn't be completely happy until i owned the real thing. over time, i sold off my rep collection and bought a genuine 091. it was the best move i've ever made! enjoy the reps for now, but i have a feeling you'll own a genuine in the very near future ... it's the nature of the beast. especially when you can find lightly used ones for $3,000 to $4,000. all the best!
Stephane Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Well, if I have a Rolex Disorder Disease how would you call a guy who buys 5 Pams in a week Congrats and enjoy them !!!
pafre Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Posted June 5, 2008 Stop talking about gens, you're giving me ideas Will have to wait until Christmas bonus for that
