Help me to decide.....

bro john, i can't agree more with you. whatever we save now it is for the better of our next generation. whatever happens we can't bring all our possessions or money to our coffin. having said that, it does not mean we have to plunder all our money away. spend wisely but don't be too thrifty. if we had been smart enough to spend on pre-v models, the appreciation would have been more than enough to cover for the investment in these early model watches. a self made millionaire on PAM watches.............hahahaha

When come to investment....I'm suck!! So my philosophy on life as mention above stay. Work hard " Play hard " Happiness > Wealth ) Cheers bro

Uneven luminous glow was ungiveness on brand specialize in producing legendary dive watch during WW2 " Officine Panerai "

Never had a problem with my 312L, tested the power reserve several times and always got more than 70 hours.

Glad to hear from johnfish, patricia, majortom and alex168lim that they had no issues with the p9000 movement. You'll have brought back my confidence.

I got no problem what so ever with either the PR and accuracy of my 321. Don't know why some of P900X posted here having PR and accuracy issue. A matter of fact the accuracy of my 321 is really as shown in its COSC test, i keep on checking it to GMT time. Very accurate i must say. The only problem is the bezel... it is easy scratched.

I am thinking of buying a car...either a Toyota Vios or a Honda Civic. What do you guys think?

Oh wait, I think Mr Dewi is going to ask me to save up for the Mclaren supercar. Cos it will hold its value and perhaps make me money in years to come. And for now, just take SBS and SMRT.

Better start saving for a zastava yugo,it will suit you well !

And your point being? This chap has got some fantastic collection of rare Pams? Doesnt really address the original question of this thread does it? Or is that more of a desperate call for attention?

Ditto, +1

Bro, your point makes me abit worry but found below article, hopefully Panerai using the same grade titanum as the rings mention below.

Can Titanium Rings Get Scratched?

This is a very common question asked by all the responsible and concerned consumers, buying a titanium ring. Titanium rings are undoubtedly amongst the toughest rings on this planet, but there are many opinions regarding its scratch resistant nature. Titanium rings do not get scratched easily. Due to their durable and tough nature, it is difficult to scratch them and the process might also take a long time. However, they tend to lose their scratch resistant nature and become prone to scratches over a period of time. Titanium rings can be scratched with the help of sandpaper and also with the help of tough materials made up of steel. Of course, titanium rings are comparatively more scratch resistant, durable and tough, than other metal rings such as gold, silver and platinum! But, still we cannot say that titanium rings are completely scratch free!

I was skeptical about Ti too. Awhile ago, I bought my first Ti watch which is the Tag Heuer Carrera Ti Calibre16 Chrono. The weight was way too light and it felt like wearing a Swatch. Besides, after 2 days of wearing it, hairlines appear even though it was worn carefully. After a week, I sold it off.

The PAM351 though in Ti has a lot more heft and only weight slightly less than 312 and the case is also way more scratch resistant.
Ti too comes in different grades. Between the Carrera and 351 casing, it is quite obvious.
