  1. This is a shot in the dark but does anyone have a photo of a PAM 183 on a 6.5 inch wrist they can post? I saw one a few weeks ago on anold thread but cant seem to relocate the thread. Anyway, I'm thinking about getting one but it might be too big for my 6.5 inch wrist. If you've read this and waisted your time, sorry.

    seafoam

    I got a 6.5 inch wrist and i was thinking of either 183 or 292 myself....Wonder how 45mm PAMs look on small wrists.

    COME ON PEOPLE SOMEONE POST SOME PICS!!!

  2. well, i ended up staying up till 4 in the morning last night examining pictures he sent me.

    and the conclusion is: I could live with that screwed up 6 on the dial but i absolutely cannot live with that "L swiss made L" font/color....

    furthermore, i realized that his dials are NOT much better then standard rep ones so it seems there is little justification for sub $500 price tag

    since i might have access to the modder now im thinking i should just get the case and LH dial or something ...

    so, can somone tell me how do I explain to Davidsen that i need a full case assembly? Do i just write it like that or do i go ok DSN i need Case+caseback+etc etc...?

    anyone knows how much the case from him costs?

  3. well, so much for the hope of "new style" dial...damn

    in fact he didn't even asnwer any of my questions like how do i pay you, or whens the new dial coming out etc etc....

    basically just resent me the pics +a couple more....and told me "to inspect these see if im OK"

    MAN this is not going to be easy :g:

    F@@K....

  4. oh damn...vac spoke! This post is good for something!

    AWESOME! i'll definitely send you an e-mail once i get my next project lined up and figured out!

    I wont bother you with "the other side of the coin" type stuff + i live like 1.5 hrs away so shipping will be QUICK!

    PS: as i stated in the very beginning i wasn't talking [censored] about the modders just stating the facts/ venting about my frustration with "the system".

    VAC: I do realize you guys have other things to do...like golf - GOLF RULEZ! But if you are swamped i'd be great if you could just reply to our e-mails (i sent 3) and let us know about it.

  5. Nope...unless you always have sticky fingers and keep touching it. lol

    You'll probably be staring at it most of the time...and i bet if there's even a speck of dust you'll be wiping it clean each time. :p

    IMO...get the 111h and a capecod cloth (polishes and gets rid of swirls).

    OK! SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN! Time to e-mail DSN!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH. MADE MY CHOICE A LOT EASIER!

  6. IMO....If it were my first PAM I'd go with the 111h....more versatile....I myself tried Ti with a suit and I don't think it goes well together...where the 111 can go both formal and casual. ;) my 2 cents.

    that was kind of my thought too...it'll be my only watch for a WHILE so i'll have to wear it with both suits and casual....

    my only porblem is ...doesn't it always look dirty because of polished SS?

  7. Ha...before you get excited......read my edit up above. :p

    yeah...i read it...hopefully its either the "work in progress" or the watch is tilted

    COME ON GUYS....OPINIONS ON TITANIUM 177H or SS 111H?

    Now the reason im thinking Ti is because i won't have to clean off my finger prints off it as often???

    do you constantly wipe down you Polished SS?

  8. Yes...he would use the same dial as in the 177h. I know he's coming out with a new dial that looks waaaay better...the "6' looks plumper too. I asked him a month ago when i was buying the 195 but he said they're not ready yet. See if you can get it with this dial he's been working on... but tell him to give you the old style crowns...this one looks like crap!! :p

    DAMN!!!! Now thats what im talking about!!!! the 6 is WAY better and the position/ font of "L L" is improved....me likes this one (- Crown)

    i think the placement looks off because the watch is slightly tilted...MAYBE?!??.....well, at least i have a pic of the dial i want now.....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

    SO, now the last thing ....LOL.....TI or not TI

  9. There's going to be flaws in all rep dials....the closest would be getting a LittleHero dial....which I believe will run you about $200 without backplate. ;)

    i know i know....but for my first PAM im trying to get the one with least possible flaws which would bug the [censored] out of me....that's why im not even considering the ones with dates/cyclops etc.....

    strangely enough in DSN's photobucket, the logo looks a LOT thinner....

    did you get the "newest dial" version?

    111H: Damn, (regarding the 6) i was hoping it was just the angle of the shot... but i did notice it was slightly off....has to have a "bigger curve"

    Also, i dont mind the wrong font/ it being too white...im more about the position of the whole "L S M L" in relation to the 6...cause in regular reps they are almost ON the damn number...

    do you know if he uses the same dial (from 111h) in the 177h?

    Your input is MOST APPRECIATED!!!!and i am not trying to be a [censored] while criticizing your watches ;)

  10. NICE!

    hmmmm...kind of looks like the logo is a bit on a thick side compared to gen....or is it just the pic?

    pam195gen.jpg

    SH@t man the logo is also too close to "panerai"

    Guessing 005 is out too....

    thanks for posting a pic - VERY HELPFUL!

    well, its between 111H and 177H then.....Ti or Not Ti.....

    CAN SOMEONE POST A "head on" PIC OF THEIR DSN 177H? PLEASE?

  11. Ha...looks like you've already decided.

    I think the 005 is a great choice. :D

    actually im still somewhat undecided...awaiting pictures of 005 with "new dial" from DSN.....but i also very much like Ti as watch material so i might end up with the 177h.....

    i did eliminate 112 though because it's just too base of a PAM for me right now....maybe next one
