Pam 438

What are people thoughts on this watch. I am smitten (I have a thing for black watches).

I have an 88 and thinking about chopping it in for this when available. Anyone else with their sights on this?

A classic in the making?

For me, PAMs only work on straps. Have yet to see one on a bracelet that I like. I think the 438 on a brown leather strap would look good (see below for a similar look)

Also, be sure that you are happy with the lightness of ceramic/composite

The word "CERAMIC" completely kills the watch for me.

If you like black Pam's you might want to consider the 292.

Or how about these ones too...

292 is nice, I was looking at the 438 as i like the idea of a ceramic bracelet and watch. The 292 with the strap you show is sweet though.

All ceramics do. Even Rolex.
