PAM 243, 24 or 25.... Which one and why?
Re: PAM 243, 24 or 25.... Which one and why?
I've had all three - the 025 was my favorite. I like Ti on big watches and the 243 was a bit plain to me, the 025 had character

I've owned the 243, 24 and am pretty familiar with the 25. Of those three I'd absolutely say 243. It's a gorgeous watch, and the details are wonderful on it.
The 24 and 25 are to me non-starters. I owned the 24 for one day and sold it. I know people love them, and no offense to owners but for me the 24 and 25 feel like a standard Luminor (think 112 or something) with a funny bezel, they don't really IMO have their own personality so to speak. The 243 is all personality.
The one drawback to the 243 is that it's pretty tall. Honestly I prefer the 305 over the 243 now because the 305 carries its size better, being Ti and also 47mm so it's flatter. The 243 is indeed a tall, heavy watch. But it's super cool, I wish I still had mine tbh.

25 is nice but I hope to own 243 one day.

I tried a PAM on for the first time yesterday. I was considering buying one in the past, but I was told they are kind of bulky and uncomfortable, so I slowed my roll.
I was surprised to find the I liked it so much after I put it on.
So I am back in the boat with you, trying to figure out which one it will be?

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

243 is the coolest of the three, but is thick and bulky, and harder to roll with as a daily wearer IMO.

Had all 3. There is a steeeeep rise in quality from the 24 to the 243. More $ too.

243, tough to wear as a daily due to its size; but undisputed best of the bunch. Miss mine.
