i looked through the "wearing now thread" and have a few questions?

I have seen several in the 10k and slightly higher range w/ box&papers.And 1 I can't believe I passed on for really really cheap.

I think watches are an extension of your personality, just like cars. It all depends on what you like. For me, PAMs, IWC, AP all fit my personality.

Guess we're kindred spirits.
3 of my 5 watches are PAM, IWC and AP

Rubberclad for $10k w/box+papers is rare and if you actually find one you should go for it considering retail was like $20,200 and now I think has been brought down to the 18k range. Anything 45%+ for an AP is an excellent deal.

MSRP on the Rubberclads have gone from $20,200 to $18,200. The lowest price I've seen for one is just under $11K from Riley.

I have seen the average price of rubberclads/themes in the 11-12k range. In this market anything is possible.

I think Pams are not as common as you might think by reading here. I know I have had the first one I purchased for almost five years now and still very rarely see another on someones wrist. I am always questioned about mine and the few times I do see another one is at my kind of places exotic car dealer/ VIP room in Vagus/ ect... Like Raw said its a personality and you tend to find certain brands more often where your personality fits in.

Head over to your local book store and pick up some watch magazines. Otherwise TimeZone.com is pretty good.

I agree. I have seen 3 PAMs in my whole life (that werent on TV or movies)... and all three were people that are on this site. Not exactly common.

PAMs only seem common if you hang out on sports car and watch forums. They are nowhere near as common as Rolex or Omega. Personally, I dig the look of Panerai's watches, I like some AP watches as well and Richard Mille though those are out of my price range right now. Check out watch websites and see what gets your attention the most.
