I haven't worn my PAM21 in a while so I made sure to take some pictures when I did. There's just something great about wearing a heavy platinum watch! It's always a real pleasure winding up this Rolex movement because the wind click sound is extremely lou...  

What a strong start this 21 announced, in 1997. The one and only one LE for this year. A fascinating Watch, all in nuance. The Brown dial, the tritium indexes, the Rolex Cortebert, and the platinum case was a winning combination. Feel free to post more pi... 

Thanks Anthony for the fresh pics! Fx

once a week (let alone the few times you wear it). What a fantastic piece. I understand the...platinum...effect (the 373 is no feather either) but the 21's dial is good enough to...lick. As for the movement, I don't even want to go into that.... :-) Thank... 

and we need to have a SoCal GTG so that I can finally see one in the metal.. T-dial with strap that needs to be sewn on.. and that story of how you acquired it..just adds to this piece.. I am happy today...

Thanks for sharing Anthony. I remember reading about your acquisition back then and thinking how expensive it was at the time! clearly you made a great buy! Congrats!

and it looks like you wear the watch regularly. It will be a shame for such a piece to live in a safe. An heirloom for sure ! Enjoyed the photos very much and I want one ! Thanks !

No Swiss made on the dial just old school awesome!

Sorry lost my mind there for a minute.

No one wanted to buy them back then. - AT

remember your posts about the bidding and HOW you clinched it in the end. It was very moving!

Very delighted to see it again. Cheers! Nien
