arty909 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just ordered this one- my 24th rep but my 1st PAM (for myself- wifey has a Daylight)- http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...products_id=471 I'm being a bit vague on purpose- I'm a U.S. Federal uniformed employee who wears a black belt and black casual shoes- anyone have any recommendations for an extra strap I could order that I can pull off wearing?

deltatahoe Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 interesting first choice for a pam -- any reason you went for a fantasy model (just curious)? i was going to suggest a europelli black shell cordovan strap with copper stitching (see picture below), but just checked and they are sold out of that particular strap a greg stevens horween black strap (with black stitching) would be pretty casual and fit the heft of the watch nicely.... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goin6633 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Nice one and good choice ! But why not the "Ultimate" edition ? The movement looks better for me , much closer to the Gen . Anyway , congratulation ! Get a better strap for her ~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty909 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thanks for the responses guys. I was just looking for an entry level PAM, and have been intrigued by this model's size for quite some time. I have not studied thoroughly about which ones are fantasy models- has to do with the printing on the dial, for one, I presume. That doesn't really matter to me at this stage; I am just floored by it's size- looks like it could eat my 37-41mm rep collection specimens (all at once?) for lunch! Borrowed gen shots of size comparison that persuaded me to pull the trigger: I'll probably go on a strap buying spree for this watch after I find out if I can pull off the size, if not you'll see it in the for sale section in January!

arty909 Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well, Andrew's fantasy model has been discontinued for now, so I opted for this one- just arrived today... I am thrilled by it's ridiculously awesome size, and simplicity. I am still learning about this Gen model's history- Rolex pocket watch movement, Italian Navy standard issue, 1950 units manufactured, 1st limited production model from Panerai etc. Now I'll scout out a black strap for it, with proper markings... Happy New Year! Arty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 glad to hear you're happy with it arty; i wouldn't be worried about correct markings on any straps -- gen owners generally put nice aftermarket on their watches as well. so pick out a nice strap that you like & don't look back!! happy new year to you as well deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
