Hi everyone,
new member here and I'm pleased to say after half a year of research of all the PAMs that have been produced since Guido & Sons signed the contract with the Royal Italian Navy and in turn, contracted
Rolex, I finally found
my PAM
I could write volumes about how I came to choose the 233
(actually, I did...). This time I think I'll keep it simple with some nice imagery*, hope you like them
