Q: What is this, exactly?? A: Occam's Razor!!
PAM000 - what is it??
Dive Watch? - No, due lack of timing bezel, although I do recognize it's underwater DNA
Dress Watch? - No, not really, kinda bulky case
Pilot Watch? - Certainly not
Sports Watch? - Well not in the sense that I would take it mountain biking so I'm going no
in fact, there are better watches in each of these categories than this one.
okay, We know what it's not, so what can we say it is......it is Occam's Razor: a principle of parsimony, economy, or succinctness. It states that among competing hypotheses, the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be selected and is attributed to the 14th century logician and Franciscan friar
or simply stated: The simplest explanation is usually the right one
or even better: It is pointless to do with more what is done with less
and that my frends is the essecnce of the 000. a few pictures to illustrate:
Crossthreading from screwdown crowns? I don't think so with this solution:
Eight lines of distracting text? Nope!
Display back to add height and limit depth rating - no sir, Sgt Joe Friday would approve.
Polished/brushed/beveled hands or SS/WG cirlces around the Lume - while cool in other watches is overkill here
Perfect blending of smoothness and angles that is both tasteful and practical
It is the cover watch for "Zen and Art of WISdom"
In Summary....It is one of the three things I have with me at all times: my IP5, my Watch and my Love for my wife:

Thanks guys!
the ironic part my next watch will probably be a hella complicated piece. not that there is anything wrong with that as I have had a few in the past

forgot to mention above that at first, I was apprehensive at the lack of a second hand but found it to be (surprise) fitting for this watch.

Re: Q: What is this, exactly?? A: Occam's Razor!!
Well said. Good pointers for next time I have a similar luminor and people ask why I like it.
Re: Q: What is this, exactly?? A: Occam's Razor!!
So you're worried your watch is too plain and are attempting to rationalize it?
Kidding, kidding - I think it looks great - as with most every other Pam, just too big for me.
