The factories have stopped making the PAM372. And more so the PAM557 which wasn't as popular. Your best bet is M2M. Good luck.

Josh is still active. But Noob isn't making any more PAM177s (they've since limited their product line to PAM005, PAM111 and PAM127) and obviously H-factory won't be making any more PAMs, well watches, ever.

I will on occasion wear a 45mm and 47mm - (IWC and Panzera) - the Panzera wears slimmer at 47mm and fits really well. I don't have particularly large wrists, my 36mm vintage datejust wears just fine, and I think 39mm-40mm is just about perfect.
I am wondering if we'll ever go back to a day when wrist-clocks aren't in style... and 22-26mm for ladies, and 32-36mm for men is the standard. I doubt it, but who knows?
Why wait for it to be the standard again? Just wear what you like.

Yes thank you. So VS is not V6F or Kw?

Actually, it's a rather interesting story. The original factory was called KW, or Kuvarsit Watch. Then around two years ago, the factory changed its name to V6F as it wanted to establish its separate identity. Then late 2016, early 2017, V6F decided to separate its operations into two sub factories, VSF and XF. VSF was supposed to be used for Panerai, XF for other brands (although this does not seem to be adhered to as XF has released PAMs as well).
Back OT, the PAM213 Rattrapante is one of those grails because of the working functions and the rather extremely limited release, like dadog13 said only 80 were made (movement was expensive and it had a low yield, resulting to low margins even with the high $600 selling price prompting the factory to stop production) and even less were sold to forum members.

I love submersibles and I prefer bracelets to straps, as far as I’m aware there is only one 44mm submersible on a bracelet and I no 47mm with a bracelet option. I can’t even find a 26mm aftermarket bracelet to fit the submersible online.
Can anyone offer some advice, my wrist is 8.25” - 8.5” (yes, really!) I have tried a 44mm marina and it fortunately still looks great, the proportions are good, however if I had the chance, there’s obviously a choice of 47mm pieces.
Appreciate if anyone can help me with this...
Sent from my iPad using TapatalkYes, there are no 47mm PAM Submersibles with bracelets and aftermarket options are not available (believe me I've tried). If your wrist is 8.25"-8.5" your wrist should rock a 47mm just fine. I have a puny 6.25" and I think it looks fine (or I'm just telling myself that LOL). Using the standard formula wrist size converted to mm divided by 4, your wrist can accommodate watches up to 53mm. If you want a more sporty look, there are kevlar/composite straps for 47mm PAMs with dive buckles. Some of the PAM submersibles can be ordered with that option. By the way, there are actually 2 44mm Submersibles with bracelets, the PAM106 and the PAM170.

It's just the case inaccuracy that is unfortunate. Everything else is good.
-
PAM026, PAM217 and PAM569 would be my lefty recommendations. All super-rep worthy.
-
You can buy the PAM111N V3 from any dealer.
-
temporary?
I hope permanent.
-
You might want to look at this store. Pugwash used one of those straps here.
-
Congratulations on the purchase.
-
Yep, pics of the watch when it arrives would be great. Congratulations on your first purchase.
-
Hopefully when it does come, it will be at a lower price.
-
And ALL of their prices are half of the market price. Wow. LOL

I didn't notice it before but it seems there is a site that has a Lange 1 rep. Not 1:1 but it's a start.

I'm thinking of buying an iphone 3G from a seller on ioffer. He's accepting payment on paypal and credit card so I suppose it gives me protection right? Anyway, can anyone tell me if buying anything from there is a good idea? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Welcome to your new addiction. Resistance is futile.

A Breitling is what got me looking into reps. Although my first purchases were not so good reps (although still good looking ones) of PP, IWC and a HBB, it now seems that my first proper rep is destined to be a Breitling. Just awesome.
-
There are times when you really must look away. lol This hobby is so tempting.
-
Beautiful watch!
I second that comment.
-
What is SOSF? What do you mean?
Well, if Pugwash's picture isn't descriptive enough, it's the Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish.

Those who are tempted to buy a Sinn, here's a link to phoband's thread on such a watch on the 'bay.

Gen Skyland - $2200
This watch has been called out as a replica.

Thank you to SD4K and Taka for this review. I hope the clasp issue is fixed soon.
