My new addition....312 content!

I purchased my first PAM, a Zero, in January of this year. It was a long time coming, I always admired them, but never pulled the trigger.

It's been a love affair since that time... Once i started browsing more styles, the 312 immediately caught my eye. I've been looking ever since.

This week, everything fell into place perfectly... I found this beauty with a local Paneristi, the deal went smoothly and I couldn't be happier right now.

Pictures attached... I have it matched up to my black vintage Micah with antique stitch.

Thanks Steel... Yep, bimmers are my other money pit. I have owned 5 M3's dating back to the early 2000's.
