I have owned a PAM 90, a 140, and I just completed a PAM 423 purchase with Sean Landsnaes. Love the dial power reserve and the gold hands. Good to be back. Much larger than my Omega Speedmaster Date, but I like it and the new movement.

A beauty!
I had the 422 for a while. Both the 422 and 423 are great references, just depends where one prefers the power reserve indicator.
Enjoy

I like the 422's power reserve indicator on the back, a la the 190, but my PAM 90 had the reserve on the front dial, and I always liked a front indicator better. Really just personal preference. The 72 hour reserve is a nice bonus vs the 90, with a 40 hour reserve.

I guess it is how you like a less cluttered dial vs the front PR complication. My Speedmaster Date's dial is about as complicated as you can get, and the 423 dial seems uncluttered compared to it.

The 423 is a beauty, and so is that Porsche! Enjoy them both!

I love both 422 and 423 references. As was mentioned it's where u want the power reserve. Speaking of power that Turbo S has plenty. Well done sir, how do u like the 4 wheel steering?

Thanks guys. I love the AWD and to be honest, this is my first 911, so I cannot really comment on standard 911 steering vs the all wheel steering of the TTS, but it handles like it is on rails.

I especially like the Burmeister Stereo it has, however..

Congrats and enjoy!

Congrats!

sea-dweller · 21 September 2014, 12:14 PM

Looks great!

Cru Jones · 21 September 2014, 05:17 PM

Very nice and welcome back!

Personally, I now really like the PR on the dial - it was the 507 that convinced me how cool it can be.

nick c · 21 September 2014, 10:53 PM

Well done

This and the 422 have my attention lately, beautiful watch and quick car!

franzy · 22 September 2014, 12:39 AM

Nice pick up! the 372, 422, and 423 are the ones to get as of lately (so it seems).

viper9669 · 22 September 2014, 12:44 AM

Very nice!👍

Alfredo. · 22 September 2014, 01:16 AM

Awesome! Big Congrats!

Jay Tee · 22 September 2014, 01:34 AM

Love the 423

discusdave · 22 September 2014, 04:07 AM

I have had a decent variety of watch brands, Rolex, Omega, Panerai, Chronoswiss, Patek Philippe, and they have all been automatics. So this time I was zeroing in on a manual wind, but I did not want a 40-50 hour reserve manual if I could avoid it. I looked at the Jaeger Lecoultre Reserve de Marche, Reserve de Marche Ultra Thin, and their 8 Day manual wind models, and decided that they were all a bit too dressy for this purchase, albeit very nice timepieces.

The 3002 movement in the 423 was a nice compromise between an 8 day and a 40-50 hour power reserve, with a 3 day reserve.
