Joined the club over the weekend...
Had my eye on a 104 or 312, but then came across one of these babies and decided that I like it a bit better with the "3" in place of the date, seems like more of a "classic" look to me. However, didn't really care for the OEM brown calf, but looking at the 104/312 made me think of the black on black look, and so got it a black alligator strap, like it much more this way.

I'm loving this thing; every time I see that dial it makes me smile (for some reason, even the first time I saw a PAM I was drawn to it (although I had no idea at that time that it was a popular piece), and from then on the draw kept getting stronger, until I couldn't resist any longer! )

Thanks, all!

I've already had a few people comment on it: one buddy who's really into watches and immediately knew what it is, and a second who isn't really into watches much, but who just loved it.

Glad I finally took the plunge!
