Mark, glad to hear that you are still after this on the other side of the pond...

cheaper i suppose... isn't the 076 an automatic 7750 though?

it looks like a sideways franck muller.

Interesting... I will have to speak to River about this one!

I'm in love -- my two favorite PAMs (212 and 222) in one. Sapphire crystal?

Unfortunately I think i've pretty much given up on this. The one supplier petered out after much hassle and I haven't gotten after any others...

Do these reps have sapphire crystals? Can anyone confirm for sure yes or no?

Mark: 1) You bastard! It's beautiful. 2) How's the crown? does the stem wobble at all?

Silix definitely has the black/yellow one...

all over this one, provided i find a blue strap that matches...

good to know... now i'd kill for a spare stem for it...

Unfortunately the cutout for the crown is much larger... and the lever is engraved and waaaaaaaay thicker.

my personal favorite line from this trash: "Thanks and these are “my” thoughts and I love ostentatious Roman numerals. I want to start a movement to get them put on the Submariner." clearly no appreciation of the history or purpose of a submariner...

I am scrapping a project that used a manual 212 as a base, which has a metal spacer ring... I don't know if the dimensions are correct but if someone is interested and is willing to verify the dimensions, I wouldn't be opposed to letting it go...

What sort of glue would you use?

I thought most of the problem with the Daytonas was that all of the subdials were shifted, not just the seconds.... It will be interesting to see how this one plays out

Why thank you good sir!

Panda is definitely not a fantasy, Jamie Foxx wore one in Miami Vice... (black with white subdial eyes)

Does anyone know where silixwatch.com has gone? I can't seem to access it, only silix-prime.com....

It's this movement, i believe, Sea-Gull ST-25. Same as in the other PAM power reserves...

It looks as if the stem on my 222 has snapped... Does anyone know if replacements are available/gettable?

great picture. really shows off the dome of the crystal...

I'm concerned that the PO looks too much like a Sub... the bracelet is very similar at arms length...

Maybe I'm missing something... First, a 'vintage 036' does not exist. PAM 036 is a 1998 Vendôme special edition. 500 units produced. Secondly I have never seen a Watchmaster version of the PAM 036 which I am referring to... If i'm incorrect, please show me. I have seen two versions from multiple dealers on this board (Silix, Joshua to name two) that is virtually indistinguishable from the original, using a swiss Unitas with unmodified bridge shapes (being 1998 production, this is correct, the 036 is the only display back model with unmodified bridge plates) Additionally, at least one of these versions has a perfect unbeveled 2mm crown and no recessed pin problem. (Silix). Perhaps you were mistakenly referring to a Watchmaster tobacco dialed one-off vintage (which would be steel, by the way) as a PAM 036? Again, if i'm wrong, please show me. A PAM 036 as I describe would fit the bill described by the original post quite well, too.

the 036 is NOT $1000... $225 or so probably. Silix has them for around that, at least...
