Finally, first pam arrived!

from this thread (Thanks for all good advices and beautiful pics from TRF members):

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=251397

i just got a call this morning from my AD, the 392 i ordered that arrived. i ran there quickly after that and took a look the watch and tried (233) in few minutes. i decided to get 392 for my first pam on my small wrist:









Also, tried this beautiful baby, it just a bit big and off my wrist (may be i'll change my mind and get it in the future):

There's always something about those plexis that make some of those watches speak to you more than others!

Congratulations - 42m looks just like 44mm when placed on the right wrist

Enjoy it

Congrats - the 42 mm looks perfect on you

In fact I think the dial balance is much improved without the '9'

Thanks. i'll get some more details pics.

@Clive: yes i think it looks cleaner and more balance w/o the "9".

i like 1950 case, in house movement with the date, clear case back, and it has to be fit on my asian small wrist. so i found this 42mm one is right choice for me atm cause' i always wear very slim fit clothes, so i can not wear any watches look big on me. it will doesn't match with my outfits.

Yes, beautiful watch! Congratulations! And those are my requirements as well. I would add polished case as well, as I like them shiny.

Nicely done. The 42 mm is certainly the right size for you.

Thanks! and weird thing, it didn't come with the rubber straps. they said the 40mm and 42mm don't come with the rubber straps as usual??? anyways, anyone knows that will these straps fit the 1950 42mm case??:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-Pa...item2a2290a7c6

thanks! time to play with the straps.

Thanks! do you guys know the straps above will fit? The seller said they are for 40mm case, but the lug width on 392 is only 22mm and that straps are only 22 mm width as well???

Looks great. Maybe you'll want to retry the 233 after you get used to the 42mm.

Thanks and sorry i didn't have time until today. here're some details pics, please take a look:

it didn't come with rubber straps


the dial looks more balance w/o the "9" and looks like the screensaver on my laptop


P.9000 in house movement and quick release straps button


it's thinner than 312 and more comfortable and less weight:




and next to my gmt2c:



lumination compare, of course pam is much better:


P.s. some aftermarket straps coming soon. The oem straps are lil bit thin, imo. Thx!
