Enkidu,
Wonder why you need other members to convince you that PAM is the right choice for you.
I am a Rolex Addict, owning about 8 of them including a Daytona, one vintage and Oysterquartz. I would have never imagine to buy any other brand other than the trusted Rolex. This is because I just wouldn't pay the hefty price for a watch with an ETA movement.
I first encountered PAM when my friend brought a 270; the one with 10 days PR. At first, I though it was too big for my 7" wrist. Shortly after, another friend brought a 90.
Than one day, I decide to read about PAM, their movements, movements, styles, straps, etc. I realized that they have invested in R&D on developing in-house movements. I asked my friends to let me try one on and realize that my wrist is actually adequately sized without looking silly. I starting to pay attention to people on subways, buses and streets and noticed that PAM look great on them; many are women with smaller wrists. Also, honestly, how many brands have watches that runs for 10 days; not Rolex at least.
Then one day, without any planning, I decided to buy one. Then after another year, I brought another. I hope I will stop, not because I don't like PAM anymore, but it begins to cost to much.
The spirit you are looking for happens without you even knowing it. Do you remember when you fell in love with Rolex in the first place? These things happen without you realizing it. That's the beauty of it.
If you are looking for return when selling it after wearing for years, get a Rolex and make sure you get the right model. If you looking for a break from your Rolex, why not try wearing a PAM. Once you try one on, you will get the spirit you are looking for, trust me.
