Hello from the UK

**mapman57** · 02-13-2010, 08:38 PM

Hello to all fellow forum members. Joined in the past month and have spent too much time trawling the forums ever since! I have already found that forum life is as addictive as actually collecting watches! That spells trouble. Was introduced to the forum by a fellow member, after trading some pieces elsewhere on the net recently. Unbelievably (? or maybe not) my first rep order was a WM9 SD pre order from George at WM9 in Jan 09 - still waitng for that one - but I am sure it will be worth it. Since then I have been badly infected with a virile strain of the PAM bug - a subject I knew nothing about until joining here!!! Looking forwards to learning, contributing and trading down the road, cheers Pete

Hi there Pete and welcome!

Hey Pete, welcome to the boards, yes life in here gets pretty addictive, the community is awsome and there's so much information available you just wish you had more time to graps it all in one go.
I've been infected with the same PAM bug as you brother and tell you something its a tough one... just doesn't go away!

Cripes... ANOTHER BRIT???

Welcome to Sparta and pull up a chair- this place is more addicting than meth and quite a bit more expensive

Guys thanks for all the words of welcome and encouragement from where ever you are based! and a welcome from sfa437 in that bunch - been reading your wisdom a lot already! So many brits are not switched on to PAMs - my gen (Rol/Om/Bre etc) wearing buddies in business here admire but do not recognise them PAMs - or is that my wishful thinking???? heres to the good times.....

Welcome mate

Careful that statement on PAMs might come back and bite you

Hi PETEM - great name - same as mine! LOL

Thanks for the welcome. Nice to see a number of Brits on board here. I am new to PAMS and you just do not see them on the High Street in the UK. I have owned commercial GENS like Omega, Tag, Oris and Breitling for many years, but only ever seen one PAM on a wearer - real or rep who knows! I really must get out more! Been wearing a PAM 113 rep just recently and got some comments and interest - 'wow nice, but never heard of them'.
