PAM 507 versus PAM 508

If you were lucky and could get one, but ONLY ONE .. which one would you take

The 507 because you want a bronze, the 508 because you like that pice even more ?
508 because you can't stand the power reserven on the 507


507








508







which one, and why ?

If I *had* to get one, the 507, because I like the bronze and green dial more, even though the 508 is pretty cool.

In the end, neither, because I don't like the "power reserve" and "ceramica" text on the dials.

507 and 305. I'd swap internals and have the best of both!

Actually, I've come to like the pronzo in the sense that the PR does give the dial an old school analog submarine feel. More so than the 4-line 382 dial. Now, if only the "power reserve" text could be deleted......


(Full disclosure - I first read this submarine theory on p.com (posted by a famous risti) and have come to agree.)

How does this limited edition supply work? When does one get on the list and hope for a call or are they given to the "best" customers?

I had hoped for some 44mm Pam's but looks like the larger of the large are here to stay.

Regards.

I disagree ... I would love to see how many 507 haters turn it down when called by their boutiques ...

With Patina, the 507 will actually look pretty handsome IMO.

507 -- but the 508 is really nice, albeit too expensive w/out discount!

"Not I", said he.

No worries, just because I don't like the Pronso doesn't mean you can't

much prefer the 508 becoz of the black ceramic stealth look and the simple dial layout. also it compliments the 382 that i already have.
