It looks great! Love the strap combo. Beautiful piece mate.

B)

Thanks for all the suggestions, very much appreciated.

I decided to buy a brushed refurnishing pen. One problem i had was that there was a tiny scratch om the cg. Intructions on the pen was that it is able to remove minor scratches!

Like what w0lf mentioned, for a historic cg that is tapered using a sandpaper is tricky. The refurnishing pen was a easier method.

Will take some pics when i borrow macro lens from my friend.

Cheers,

Nice! Here's mine. iPhone pic

Mate... there is so much info on this and a number of tips and methods... Far too many to relist here... but try doing a search because they are there... Hounddoggie also did a tutorial on his version but I think although the link is listed on here in the threads I refer to...the original thread is on RG.. Good luck

Thanks Mate.. Found the thread on WC!

Hi Pam Modders

Whats grit sandpaper should i use to achieve the brushed finish as shown on the pic.

Or will a brushed Refinishing Pen do the trick? Appreciate the tips!

Looks great! I bought the noob 005M too. The case construction is top notch. Only dial and cg loses out to H-fac

Definitely H-Factory for the win

H-Factory no fight. Suspect 219 is out of stock though.

Nice watch! Go buy a nice aftermarket strap now

Yet another legendary review!

Can you please specify which DW is this, v3?

And which exactly Kain's strap as there are so many of these...

Watch is looks good, I've been thinking since they were released but never ordered though

Yeah, DW is V3. Its not too bad. Kain strap is the Veteran series, black pearl calf with ivory stiching.

i think there is a newer version on PT. U can try that. loooks goood. And better lume.

There are a couple of 44mm Luminor PAMs that use a lo-beat movement, one that comes to mind is the gen 318.

Pam 318 movement is same 005. Panerai OP II, 16½ lignes, 17 jewels, Côtes de Genève decoration on the bridges. Glucydur® balance with Nivarox® I spring, 21,600 alternations/hour. Incabloc® anti-shock device.

this is low beat movt right?

why is high beat preferred over low beat?

reliability or performance?

waiting for the experts to chime in

Manual Wind Pams use high beat 6497-2. Only the earlier Pre-V models uses the usual low beat 6497.

Apparently high beat is less noisier and the second has a smoother sweeping move (of course u wun be able to differentiate), and more reliable.

is the crystal flat or dome?

pt lists it at the website as dome

how is the ar? any tint of blue?

op silk screened or engraved?

Crystal is dome. Almost the same as the gen. Very clear too no blue hue, but its very reflective. Needs some AR i reckon if it bothers u.

sweeet strap! Is that from gunny? I just ordered my 369 v2 from PT as well, cant wait for its arrival! Hows the strap that came along with it? Any good?

Strap is from Kain Heritage. The rep strap is not too bad. But an aftermarket strap anytime for sure

You sir are the king of Pams !

Thanks. Very satisfied with the overall quality and look.

Just received the N 005M and its really a great build. Still very much a noob and i haven't held a gen 005 or the highly touted H 005K to compare. Thus feel free to add in comments on how i can improve the watch or is it good enough P.s: Thinking of getting the H 005M to combine the best parts.

Nuff said, here are the pics.

The gap between the CG and lever is pretty big.

Disappointing caseback. Shallow engravings.

Gunny Strap

Lever View

Wrist Shot

Forgot to take a lume shot. But its very good.

Combine the best parts of both to make the ultimate 005 non-franken
