Hi all bros,

Just can't decide, pls help and give your good advice...

Many thanks!

New

its 47mm vs 44mm. modern vs vintage. if u ask me, i will go for 305. because i dun like the cyclops on the sub line.. just my 2 cents!

what is the price for a used 243 btw?

[dennlow]

It has to be 243 with its very nice patina....

Wow bro denn, your 243 with patina looks perfect on you!!

[Newwatch]

Tks guys,
For 243L or K is $8k+-. J is very hard to comeby.
Does anyone find 305 too big on 6.5" wrist?

Bro denn, yours must be the j right? Btw what's you wrist size?

Many tks..

[dennlow]

mine is the 'J' series and the 243 sits very nicely even on my 6.3" wrist...

Tough.. I'm a sucker for patina But 305 looks sharp w/o cyclops.

Tough choice, experience the dilemma myself when buying my first PAM.

Was trending towards the 305, mainly cos it's new......

In the end, opt for the new released 371.

By the way no problem of the 47mm sitting on small wrists

Definitely the 243 with tritium dial for me.
