thanks - really helpful. I thought Sead had had some fairly bad press recently? Been looking at these from DSN: http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/watchmmx/TITANIUM%20WATCHES/PAM%20177H%20UP%20GRADE%20VERSION/?action=view&current=DSCF3151.jpg http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/watchmmx/PAM%20177H/?action=view&current=DSCF2888.jpg and i can't really tell the difference. He says there is an "ultimate 177h" for $460 in his photo bucket but I can't find one called ultimate anywhere on there. he sent me these but they are a bit low-fi. does the pin on the cg look off? Also been looking at this one for $348 from Trusty Time: http://www.trustywatchguy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=1023 I would be really grateful if any of you pros could give me some analysis of which is best. both claim sapphire crystals, swiss 6497 with swan neck and DSN's is superlumed dial and hands, water resistant to 3atm (really?) and has a fixed canon pinion. Really appreciate your advice guys. Many thanks G

Thanks. I have seen his site. No sign of a 177 unfortunately. I have emailed but no reply. Is he normally qutie good at replying to mails?

can you tell me where you bought it. would you recommend the dealer? i'm also in the market for one. is it real titanium?

First post. Apologies in advance if i'm breaking any rules. Any recommendations for where I can pick up a good, real titanium PAM 177 and 240 in the UK? I would also be hugely appreciative if anyone can suggest what I should look to avoid. From what I've read I gather DSN supplies the best titanium cases - is that correct? Does he ship to the UK and are there any pitfalls in doing that? Trusty Time seem to offer two versions of the 177 at $178 and $350 odd. Is the more expensive rep considerably better? Both are within budget. again, any pitfalls in shipping to the UK? Help greatly appreciated.
