Good luck & look forward to read about your FULL report. I have a Pam252 and posted here recently. If you get a chance, please ask Mike if the Pam252 has undergone any changes whatsoever compared to the 500 pcs released to the public. I've seen other so called "expedition" watches differ to regular ones, they might have use slightly different material or strap etc. And would be interesting to know, how extreme was the temp he experienced & was the watch exposed at all times?
