Well, normally after spending that amount of time reading a post my first reaction would be "that poster just wasted 15min of my life that I'll never get back" but not this time. I enjoyed every minute.

I have had my eyes on both Patek's and Chopards since my first rep. This has given me that extra push to pursue one from each maker. Which brings up an interesting thought... did Josh/Andrew/Angus give you a bunch of models they want to push sales on and this is how you marketed them?

My only criticism is the Panerai talk. Look at the numbers on the DeWitts and Chopards... just as big. Rolex is stuck in a box as well, all their cases have the same lines. All the watch makers have things that make their watches look like their brand. Granted Panerai is a bit more subtle then most with the changes since they don't add blue dials, orange bezels, diamonds or two tones. I guess that goes with my style though. I don't wear a white shirt under a black suit then stick a bright busy tie on to make me stand out. I'll put on a tie with a subtle stripe in it matching pocket square. Top it off with a nice tie clip and/or pin on the shirt pocket. Without going on and on I'll just say "I get it" when it comes to PAMs.

All in all, this was a fantastic read. Your best yet, imo. I am looking forward to your post about PAMs when you finally "get it".
