No apology is warranted, there are so many variants of a PAM its bewildering. Not sure how anyone keeps track of them all.

There is a VAST wealth of knowledge here, FANTASTIC! I never even thought there was another world within replica watches, the depth is amazing. To me, high level reps are masterful works of art and they're functional to boot. Will I get just one? Nope.... I already have a preorder in for a WM9s SeaDweller, I'll probably have a Steelfish next month. Sort of like my others hobbies (nitro RC cars,Italian shotguns), you can never have just one. A PAM? Maybe when I'm emotionally available and ready for a relationship. ha! I was quoted about 280USD for a PAM104 by DSN superlumed and all. Others sell the Ultimate PAM104 for about 430USD. Contact any of the collectors listed, they all seem to have them in stock.

Whoa.... and I mean WHOA! You guys are intense! I need to have a relationship with a PAM? Did I read that right? Okay, I'm new to the world of replica watches and although I'm pretty ignorant on a lot of stuff I'm ALWAYS willing to learn. But the moment I have a "relationship" with a replica watch and I need to put people down I think I'll quit the hobby. I've been searching, comparing and PMing people everyday for a week. Most have been quite helpful, some not so much. Perhaps a lot of the knowledge is hard-won, maybe it cost money but that never gives anyone the right to denigrate another. We were all noobs once... For the most part I think RWI is a wonderful place, I will stick around, I will learn and I will eventually acquire the PAM I've always wanted. In the mean time I'm getting a Breitling! Thanks to all of those who have been helpful and offered words of encouragement. I really appreciate the experienced veterans, those who share their knowledge openly and do not guard it jealously as some do. 104 is available from DSN,Eurotimez and others.

Thanks for all the replies, I still REALLY REALLY want a PAM. I don't know why but they're beautiful to me. They just seem to have a sense of purpose. Maybe I'll get one, one of these days, when the reps are better and I feel comfortable modding.

I used the search function and found some not-so-flattering threads about quality and after service. Not sure I'll take the risk. Honestly, I don't see many PAMs that are outstanding replicas, they all seem to need a lot of work here and there. I've been eying a PAM104 Ultimate from Joshua but I'm afraid I might be disappointed. At this point i don't feel too comfortable modding or to spending the extra money having relume, font, cannon pin,cyclops etc etc fixed. I might just get a Breitling Avenger Seawolf or a Superocean Steelfish instead. From what I've read so far, they seem to be better reps.

I've narrowed it down to a PAM104, maybe the ultimate. I read up on all the vendors and just eliminated DSN off my list. Right now I'm looking at Eurotimez, Joshua or Puretime. None of these guys seems to drop ship and they say they do their own in-house QC. I'm not looking for the best price so much as the best after sale service IF something were to go wrong. Also, I'm new to the rep world so I'm not comfortable doing my own modding yet. I really want my PAM to be superlumed (I think they look AMAZING), do some vendors do mod work before shipping? Thanks guys
