I can't pull off a 47mm PAM either. You should go try a 44 AP. also, I got the XS strap for better fit.

I don't think you can get any discount on a limited Edition AP.

I found a couple on Chrono24 : ONE TWO

They seem to be around $41K to $43K.

If you have an AP already, go for a PP, then you can add more to whichever you like wearing more.

Mike, you really need to consider upsizing to the Legacy.

Thanks, i see what you meant.

ROO Style and Forged Carbon case are very tempting........ but PP has better finishing right?

Movement finishing? Patek IMO. Case finishing? AP all the way.

I'd say take your time with the decision. Maybe explore another FC AP?

Never had a chance to try on a ROO 44mm, but here's pam 47mm:




RO 39mm:



And i did tried on a SS Diver 42mm from one of my friend, and it looks find and comfortable, but not as much as RO 15300.
Ok based upon these pics I would agree smaller is probably better

Ahhhh. I'd have to get both. 1) I'm in love with the 5726/1A and 2) the Ginza is a pretty limited piece and looks fantastic! If I had to prioritize I'd get the Ginza first as sourcing one isn't easy.

FC Diver and 5711, or sell some Pams or others and get the moonphase but I reckon you've just gone for the Patek.
