WTF?? Carl. Go and have some serious intercourse with your rectum and your hand. How dare you belittle people who have the disease. if you were in my face ...I would knock your ass out. Carl, you are a POS.

I got this 360 a couple months ago, and the 380 just a few days ago. The 360 is quite a stellar timepiece.

This is my Great Grandpa's 1872 Waltham silver pocket watch. Good for a Sunday timepiece.

This is my latest favorite, the 380.

My watch deliveries take about 29 minutes. I have a connection to the Light Speed Post.

Wow! Great looking 127. The AR seems like the gen from the photos. No more giveaway blut tint. Congrats on your classic Pam.

Wow Noel, Dont kick yourself for buying the gen. It will only go up in value. Beautiful watch there my friend, congrats! @ Wolf, great pic of yours also. When did you get it? It's amazing how the difference between the rep and the gen are hard to tell apart. my watchsmith said that if he did not know I was a rep collector, he would have assumed it was a gen. He wanted to buy it.

Thank you Gentlemen for the good words. I am sincerely enjoying this watch, and must look like a dork staring at my wrist all the time !

Lala, The crown works very well and has a smooth winding abd threading action.

Looks gorgeous! Enjoy that beauty.

My new 380 Rad from Trusty.

My first Pam was the 232 in 2006. The steel used those 6 years ago seemed softer than the new ones. My old 232 still works fine, but the quality of the stainless steel on the 380 seems to be a much higher grade. The smoothness of the winding and unscrewing of the crown is significantly improved. Perhaps the factories that make these watches have not responded as quickly to consumer requests as we would like, but in 5 years the quality overall has vastly improved. Also, it seems to depend on which of the many factories are producing them. The "H" and "Noob" factories in particular have done well to make a better product.

I have had a few watches that have stopped with the 6947 movt. Usually this was caused by a small shaving or screw becoming dislodged. They did start running again with a small thump on the palm of my hand. This is temporary and it will stop again. All the 6497's have a regulator on them which will work to speed up or slow down the watch. Thumping is not the best idea, and no mater how much you like the watch, "humping" it is not advisable.

I think perhaps I am one of the first to receive the new Pam 380 Radiomir rep made by the H factory. I could not be more pleased. Last month I tried on the gen at the Bellagio AD here in Vegas and really loved it. I knew this one was in the works and when I got it a few hours ago, there is no denying that this is a rep to beat all reps. I cannot tell the difference. The strap Andrew sent is first class, however, I prefer a lighter color, and put my Strap Culture 27/26 on it. It has a nice patina. The strap change is a little tricky as the screws are small, but that is minor. The Radiomir is a historic classic, and I have been waiting for one that really grabbed me. The 380 is the Rad that any pam collector should have. The font is spot on, the logo is a great touch, with the classic painted dial. that jumps out at you. Especially when daylight hits it. The Lume glows like a torch, and lasts for as long as the Gen does. I tried the gen and the lume on this rep is identical. Having been on RWG for 6 plus years, now, I always like to share a good thing when I find it. This new 380 is a good thing. Here are a few pics from just now. I'm not the best photographer. ]

Great combo. Mario Paci straps while pricy, are some of the finest you can buy.

As screwed up and damaged the world and human civilzation is, there is never a shortage of innocent souls to help bring people back from the precipice of madness.

Funny thing, I knew instantly when I read the title to this post that it was someone who has 5, 10 maybe 15 posts under his belt. Always seems to happen like this when a dealer is attacked for an insignificant matter which the dealer will happily resolve.

My 380 should be here any day. I'll post my opinion shortly. I'm glad I never got the 183. This one looks like one of the best Rads made to date.

The new Rad 380 Black Seal with painted dial is about to come out. It also has the logo. The font on this one is a step above it's counterpart, the sandwich dial 183. This will be a good one IMO. The 232 is also a beauty, but larger at 47mm. The 380 is 45MM.

impressive indeed. Thank you TB for the post. The improvements are quite substantial to the older versions. The 127 is a classic.

Fiddy time THX to DSN!

Lovely indeed. Seems like the spooge wiped off gives the watch a glistening luster.
