How do you know it wasn't a rep bracelet on a genuine watch ?
It's like someone on here ordered the IWC Aquatimer because he was quoted 1k for a genuine IWC bracelet...
If money is no object than get a genuine!
Otherwise,
PAM028 - cyclops, croown/crown guard (?), relume, real PVD, datewheel
PAM029/063 - cyclops, crown/crown guard (?), relume, datewheel
PAM196 - datewheel, relume, crown
I am not 100% sure on these, someone like sssurfer or finepics will know more.
If you want accuracy then the PAM001, 111 or 183 are the ones to go for.
The PAM001 is with a solid caseback so no problems with movement not being decorated correctly etc.
Also, if price is an issue, you can get the 111 or 183 for a pretty good price with Asian manual movement.
If you want to go the way of Swiss ETA "Unitas" 6497, then they can also be found, but at least double the price of the Asian version.
If you want an ETA, the PAM036 in titanium is also very good, and doesn't have the centre cannon pinion problem. The only mod that really needs to be done is a relume and that's it.
admin, you should send it on to sql_pl after you get it so his girl can model it for us
As for Ghostface he;s too busy dominating the arcade high scoreS!!
Definitely a Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee moment
Apparently there is a watchsmith in Picadilly Circus tube station that does waterproof testing. I havent gone there myself, but if you find it let me know exactly where it is!
Some people sleep with their watch on, so where's the inconvenience? Also, a PAM127 (1950) is a useful self-defence tool
Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....
I used the cellphone while i didnt have a watch for a while. i had a problem during the last summer where i would get a rash from the watch so i didnt wear it, and i used the cellphone.
029 or 063 (or both) are definitely worth getting. Same ETA movement as the genuine, and it looks damn good. These ones are very limited and there may not even be any stocks left.. so get it while it's available. If you don't like it you should be able to sell it or swap it with someone.
Good luck to him.
I only ever had contact with him once, saying he was travelling a lot and busy. Hope everything gets better.
Such is the inevitability of life, but it is never easy to deal with, especially something that seems eternal.
