I got DSN's PAM 104 with all of his upgrades and love it. You'll have to take my word for it since I'm not a very good photographer. It's very close to the gen. A sales lady at an authorized dealer even complimented it when I was trying on gen PAMS. If she knew, she did a terrific job of hiding it. Good luck!

I feel like I need to stick up for DSN. I read the negative threads about him, too, but decided to order from him anyway after I began corresponding with him. He promptly answered all of my e-mails, which I'm sure annoyed him given all the noob questions I had. He even sent me pictures of the watch he was going to send me. (At least it appears that way.) He sent me a beautiful 104 on a black croco pattern leather strap with all the upgrades he has available for $280 USD, which included the rubber logo strap. I thought the deployant buckle was a bit uncomfortable so I upgraded to a Manifatture Firenze black leather strap. My little project is now complete and I get misty-eyed every time I look down on my wrist. I'm thrilled to pieces and am already contemplating my next PAM from DSN; possibly a 111 or 177. It appears as though most of the bad press he got was in mid-2008. Either I got extremely lucky or his QC has vastly improved since then. Thanks to the membership for all the info available here. It's unmatched anywhere else.

When will these 40mm models be available? Or are they already? Who's carrying them?

Thanks for the reply. Beautiful piece.

Thanks. I've already emailed Davidsen.

Want a good rep PAM 104. After scouring this site for several hours over the last couple days, I have come to the conclusion that either Davidsen or Andrew at TrustyTime would be advisable choices for dealers. As an aside, I would prefer a 40mm PAM but have learned through various postings that good reps in that size are difficult to come by. My wrist is a hair under 7 inches so hopefully a 44mm won't look ridiculous. I currently have a gen 42mm Breitling Chrono Superocean, which sits up pretty high, and that looks pretty good. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated by this noob, both with respect to reputable dealers and case diameter size. If anyone has pics of 44mm PAMS next to 42mm watches for a size comparison, that would be great. And, if anyone is looking to sell a 40mm PAM, I'm your man. Finally, I'd like to say how impressed I am with the depth of knowledge of the membership here. Finding this site was like walking through the door to a whole new world. Thank you.
