Here is how it works ....you get the idea,you forget about it,the idea comes back stronger,you fight it,you buy another of the same tiny watch brand,to convince yourself thats still what you want,it helps a while.Then one day ,circumstances come together,you fullfil that urge to buy the PAM .... and then all of a sudden it all over.The others just dont look right anymore and you subconsciously start planning for the next PAM............

I would venture to guess that the 88 is not as popular as some of the other models 104 is one that comes to mind. A lot of people feel the dial is to busy and do not care for the silver sub dial and hands. I do like it and will wear it on occasion. Is it my favorite... not by a long shot but i still like it.

I love both the 88 and the 233.

Not sure it makes since to have both... Even though they are quite different. Hope to make a decision soon!

Also, straps - I am out of control.....
