Need the PAM community help
Looking to get a new PAM, stuck between these four. Please vote and share thoughts 372, 422, 423, 514.All 47mm and not complicated.Love the basic look of the 372, but not crazy about the non saphire chrystal. I also actually like a little business on the dial of the 422 & 423.Each is nice just looking for thoughts on which is the must have.
