  1. Less is better?!

    Yup. I never liked the Ferrari series as well. Just not signature Panerai.

    My suggestion is get the PAM 001. Its a PAM 111 with a closed caseback thus reducing the visual error. Get it lumed and AR by chief and a V crownguard and you will fool 95% of the world population 99% of the time.

    And yes... the PAM addiction is horrible. I have a 029B, 111, 127, and 250.

    It all depends on what type of collector you are. you are either the buy and wear or the buy, mod to the max then wear type.

    The modding potential of PAMs are endless and thus my sugeestion is buy what you like.

    Now to your questions

    Now, following that same logic, would you agree that a Pam 111 should be an in-production, AND not a limited edition model that's easier to rep as close to gen out of the box?

    Yes the 111 is still in production. Should be easy to rep but the factories in CN can't be bothered to get it right.

    Or maybe there are some other models ( I just can't believe how many Pam models there are over the years ) that are similar AND is known to have excellent out of box reps?

    The PAM Ferrari Chrono 008 is the most accurate out of the box. Almost perfect. IMHO

    Maybe a Pam 111 from DavidSen with the old rep case if he still has them is the best one to get?

    I am not the authority here on PAM reps but I only buy parts from Davidsen. Not whole watches.

    Now you just need one more reply.

    Cheers mate

  5. Pam250 questions?

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted

    For the PAM 250, its a matter how far you want to go about modding it

    Q1: Are you getting the 7753 or A7750 movt?

    Some of the parts to mod are also very difficult to obtain.

    1. Lello Datewheel? A holy grail of sorts though some progress is being made in developing alternatives.

    2. Thick brushed bezel with "Tachymeter" spelling?

    3. Inaccurate dial for the ETA 7753 movt version.

    I completed the PAM 250 project (I posted a review recently) and its by far the most expensive project I have completed.

    Proceed with much caution.

    Cheers

    Thanks guys.

    @Prof - I don't think you gonna have much choice with regards to the bezel, mate. You need to make sure its the thick bezel with the correct spelling. I am not too sure that the curent stock of 250 cases are thick.

    Cheers

    Right... picked this up from my watchmaker about 2 hours ago. This project has cost me quite a fair bit.

    Thought I'd wait till the weekend to post picture but I can't resist... so here it is some pictures in rather harsh light.
