Just buy an auto - there's plenty of choices.

Anyone else feel the same? I love the watch but am afraid ill flip because of this...

Think OP will do an auto version, or will it be insanely thick (IE PAM312)?

I mean... the reason why I bought a winder is so I dont have to do this :(
the manual PAM is a thing of beauty....
but i see where your coming from, my OCD always wonders if i wound it or if its going to stop on me leaving me dry.
my life and schedule are a bit erratic so having a routine of winding each day at a certain time is challenging....

i guess i am just an automatic watch kinda guy

My wife just got me a PAM 000 from our trip a few days ago in Hong Kong. From someone who has been used to the quartz watch as a boy and the automatics as a man it is truly refreshing to wind the PAM 000 the same time everyday and not be bothered by the clutter of my chronos like my PAM 212 which I have had for some time now. I'm a Neurologist and my work is quite stressful, just looking down at my 000 makes me sigh in relief that no matter how complex my day is going I get to check the time in it's simplest beauty as I stare at PAM 000. Plus, it was my wife's birthday celebration in H.K. and I get to have a new watch. How good is that

Here a few pics of my new baby. My wife is kinda peeved that I changed the strap.

Now that's NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How true... when I have a stressful day at the office, I look down at my PAM so that I can enjoy the "rewards" of my efforts...

You sir, have a great wife I do have to ask though, what she got for her birthday... was the Rolex Datejust covered in ice... ?

Nope. She is not really into watches. She actually had a two tone datejust which was stolen. She is just using my Speedy and a Tudor Hydro as her daily beaters. Quite simple yet so generous. Was actually convincing her to get an IWC Mark 17 for herself but she'd rather shop all day at Ikea.
