  2. Minor details aside I would say the 87 rep is in the same class as the 243. Both are super reps.

    Do you find the cyclop distortion maddening? The funny thing is that it's the same in the gen as well. It looks like you are reading the date under water. But in water itself the date looks very clear. A true dive watch!

    Here a link regarding different series. Dials etc. http://www.network54.com/Forum/353391/thread/1144944500/Pam+087+-+different+versions

  3. Andrew came through again as always, It was a flawless transaction as usual.

    Quick dealing and a Pro in this business for already many many years.

    After a long long wait, finally the new beloved PAM087 is launched :D

    I never owned a diver version like these, once I heard the announcement of this specific version being launched I was hooked.

    Main reason was the blue dial. I had to wait a bit longer compared to other members due to a shipping delay here in the Netherlands.

    But then again, ordering during Christmas time is a pain in the a$$.

    We all know what to expect this time of the year regarding shipping time.

    But finally it's in my hands and WOW... Amazing quality IMO, I really like the watch.

    Expectations were high on this one and I must admit they came through!

    The dial is very well made and changes by color each time depending on the light.

    Sometimes the dial seems almost black and then again when the light hits the dial...BANG... Blue all the way! :cool:

    My doubts were there, but only regarding the strap.

    But as many members like me already stated... the strap is really well made and good looking, pics really don't do justice on this strap.

    Very nice stitching and it does match perfectly with the lume, the strap is butter soft and therefore very comfortable to wear.

    The bezel is nicely brushed and the details are superb if you ask me.

    The crystal is also very clear. Really nothing to complain about.

    On one of the pics below you can see the nice texture on the dial, super crisp to look at, thumbs up!

    I tried an ASSO (assolutamente) strap and had it on for just one day, I changed back again to the REP strap :)

    I actually cannot find a single lack of quality which I noticed regarding this watch.

    But, probally the die hard PAM heads will do have a thing or two to complain about as usual, but not me.

    REP of the year...? Perhaps yes!!!

    As always I made many pics for those who are still on the fence, hope you enjoy!

    BTW, here are the specs taken form Andrew (Tustytime) his site.

  4. Andrew kindly asked me to announce the new URL for his website.

    Unfortunately they need to swift from time to time due to forced website takedowns by high end brands.

    This new domain should be up within 2-3 or perhaps 4 days.

    No worries people, all is ok and your placed orders will be proceed as usual, so no need to panic for the noobs around us :).

    New URL will be: www.ttw8888.com

  5. Saturday I received my beautifull AP forced carbon from Andrew together with a blue faced classic sub.
    I never owned the blue SS version so I took my change and ordered the cheap version which comes with a highbeat nowadays!!

    The blue is amazing, it pops of your wrist, i love it. I am known for having several hulks but gotta say the blue is also pretty cool.
    The movement is running strong and butter smooth, a perfect sweep!
    Imo the watch looks amazing good. I think the pearl is also well made.
    The dial is perfect alligned with the rehaut and the bezel clicks firm and easy.
    Strap looks perfectly brushed. Most catchy is ofcourse the sunburst dial, amazing effect in many angles.

    The one I have here is ref: ROLSUB107C which can be found at trusty's site. (so no need to ask which version it is by pm.)

    On to the pics shall we.

    Hope ya all enjoyed.

  6. First I thank Andrew (trustytime) for the safe delivery, all was packed well like usual. Thanx buddy!

    Notice: I talked to Andrew this morning and he and Josh still take pre-orders.

    They are busy working their way through the backorders...patience guys, you will get yours asap!

    These guys are working like horses at the moment.

    Andrew mentioned he will get approx 200+ pieces in stock this month to cover all the backorders till date.

    The factory is allready preparing for new batches so Andrew and Josh can assure the upcomming pre-orders from now will be proceed much faster.

    My saturdaymorning started pretty well yesterday.

    At 11.00 the doorbell was ringing and I knew it was the new mikey toy :D

    It was a hell of a ride guys... alot of *****ing, nagging, flaming, personal attacks, and i guess some members just cried during the waiting game.

    Like some other members i knew for a long time this was in the pipeline and i knew it was going to be good.

    This watch i was really looking forward to, and was it worth waiting...YES! HELL YES!!!!

    This moring i took many pictures and I am totally in love, different like before. Why? Because i notice how the repgame is changing, from average quality to this nowadays GEN feeling watches. Unbelievable how accurate and well made this watch is in every detail.

    The strap feels really soft and the watch wears extreme light due to the genuine carbon fiber produced case.

    It's like the watch becomes a part of your body, when wearing, very different compared to the SS diver we pretty much all own.

    Case construction is top quality. I dissambled the watch yesterday and the whole case is buttersmooth, outside and inside.

    During unpacking, the bezel was one of the first thing i noticed regarding smoothness. I think it is really ceramic by the way.

    The lume application is sharp looking and even applied, guess no handwork anymore but machine applied.

    The crystal is very clear just like the date magnification.

    Last but not least...the beautifull carbon fiber pattern. It's is hard to catch in pics like some other members allreay mentioned.

    It is almost like it's has a kind of sunbusrt effect, it changes constantly depending on the lightangle. Certainly no woodgrain pattern. Imo it looks simular compared to GEN.

    I am not the best in writing reviews so let the pics speak for themselves.

    Enioy the ride ;)

    **** patience please...uploading pics at the moment****

  7. Great and flawless transaction as usual. Thanx for the fast replies Andrew. Finally it reached me. As usual first one with ordering but last one receiving :lol: I must admit I was worried since many people started to mention the lack of AR on the 45MM versions. Yes the 42mm is stronger but there is just something with this crystal. The crystal is crisp clear, different compared to other watches. Yes there are reflections but I like it the way it is. No mods for me with this one. The ETA is running butter smooth and keeps great time. The clasp works flawless and the 45mm fits my 7.4 inch wrist nicely. Something I really appreciate about OMEGA is the mat finished dial on these versions. I prefer them above glossy ones like the PLOPROF. I wear it now for 3 days non stop and think it will sit on my wrist for the upcoming weeks :) The look though caseback is a nice feature and to me it looks close enough. Well onto the pics shall we. I will add more pics later on, but due to being stuffed with work lately I could only shoot these. I know no caseback shots but I will made one asap. Cheers guys! sa8ysyry.jpg6eve4ebe.jpgra7ega6e.jpg5y6a2ere.jpgezevu5av.jpgdy2uqy6u.jpgneme2e8y.jpghegere4y.jpg5y7ese2u.jpg8y2ydaja.jpg
