PAM 375? What say you?

I had a chance to handle a PAM 375. Its quite nice and low profile. Felt like it sits closer to the wrist than other 47mm 1950 case (372, etc)

Anybody has one? How does the composite case hold up?

Y personal preference is I’m not feeling it. I can’t explain why either. I don’t like ecru lume but lots have that and I still like them. I like ceramic and love gold hands but I just don’t feel it. But if it sings to you go for it

I like it. If it sings to you and money is not an issue then go for it

Some of had composites for a number of years without issue, so it seems like the 339 issues are in the past? Assuming that, the 375 is a real stunner. Gorgeous.

Looks like a very unique piece. Love the idea of the composite material but have always had that nagging feeling in the back of my head that if it's scratched just hard enough then the top coat would come off and the aluminium would show through the bottom. Not sure that can be repaired. Just depends how careful with your watches you are.

Having said that, you only live once ;)

I’m happy with mine. It won’t scratch, but if you drop it or knock it hard it will get chipped. Mines ok so far.

LOL, that's what holding me back.

You have to see it in real life to really appreciate it. I personally like it more than 127.
I personally own one and have no plan to part with it.
I also saw another friend dropping the 375 on the ground and there were no dents or marks at all which made me believe in the recent composite cases.

Definitely recommended!
