For now at least.

Ladies and gents, meet my new to me PAM 212, courtesy of FNFZ4 (Alfred). I have always admired the flyback and something about it has always screamed out at me.

I've flipped more than once but this is it.

Long story short - I feel so comfortable and happy when I see this watch on my wrist, a deeper satisfaction from the others I've worn, I can safely say this one's a keeper.

I DO plan on getting a zero sometime in 2013. (preferably a pre-loved that I'll have trusty Alfred track down for me).

to satisfy that other urge for the simpler design -- and at a very good price so I can afford to have BOTH watches in my humble collection. But this is it for now, as the itch for this watch has finally been scratched.

Thank you TRFs for being a great community of information and conversation about this fantastic brand of watch. Besides art, it has become my second passion (or hobby as my wife calls it).

Cheers and Happy Holidays my friends!
