Did you think we were going to flame you, Daren?
Not a chance. The PAMs are nice watches and if you like them, hey, wear them.
As for manual winds, though, I have gotten so used to autos that I know I would forget to wind a manual. And then when it stopped, I would go nuts having to reset it and wind it.
But I'll be interested to hear how you like the manual wind after a few weeks. Keep us posted.
