So here's the pic, sorry it took so long Wrist shot: This is the gap, the deployant is in the end of the strap, see the space? This is with the extra hole to remove the gap First week was uncomfortable as hell, but the strap is slowly softening that I can wear it comfortably. I usually wear it when I'm dressed with long sleeved shirt and coat, otherwise I can't pull it off. I really have to dress to it to make the look, not like my PAM 026k which I can wear with anything

nice review babola! Makes me want to put it on my buy list

I would say logging in from somewhere. He/she can use a proxy in France

I have, though I didn't do some wrist shots yet. For 6.6" wrist you can pull it off, for me I can do it barely but I needed to put a new hole on the strap, otherwise there's a big gap on both sides of the strap (the watch and the clasp sandwiches your wrist, and because the strap is a little bit tough, it doesn't shape on your wrist, rather it bulges on the sides).

I didn't get it for that price, I inquired if it's with his high beat movement and he said no-- when I asked why it's too pricey he lowered the price It's functioning nicely, a very all-around watch for me. Casual or formal it just blends in One gripe is that the serials are a little bit unaligned but otherwise everything is good. Since it's a keeper I'll be putting it up for service once the high beat I ordered from Helenarou arrives.

I asked that before, dealers said it will be about two weeks and it will be available again. But then again I asked that last week of July, and it's already September and they still no stocks yet? Best to wait for something to pop-up at the marketplace, but if you really, really REALLY want it you can check it here (emphasize on really, because I only recommend it for desperate ones like me )

first minute I was like "huh... nothing special...so what if he jumps with..." ...and then f************ck!! Specially 1:35-1:45!! Crazy!!

very exquisite piece!

pretty fun shoot. I like it! Although I wanted to see more than a small resize of the B&W...

I don't have a side-by-side shot, but I wore a 213 before and wearing a PAM 026k now, it should be fine

As I said there's a back story that I can't tell, and I'm sending it back for refund, both sides happy. Yes, there's waste of time and money, but then it's part of this hobby, right?

hahaha lucky! Does it feels like winning a lottery?

Baryonic, try this method

Ah, to be precise, the "Cartier" in the gold rotor is stickered like the HBBs. The other is stickered but engraved "Cartier" logo. There's still a back story (the gold movement is also in the BEST version, and I'm thinking I got the BEST version, not the ultimate one) but the dealer and I already agreed that I return it and get a full refund. The thing is, if the other guys bought and expect to see the nickel rotor, they might be in for a surprise, or they might think they got the ultimate but maybe got the best version... a biiiig maybe.

It is a swiss 2824, but it is not the movement described in the watch I ordered, that's what's bugging me. I prefer the nickel plated one since that is engraved, not with a stickered that you will be worried if it falls off and damaged the movement. Yeah, nobody will look at the inside, but surely "what you don't know won't hurt you" doesn't apply to me right now. I'll be returning this as soon as the dealer gives me the return address.

Try this: I'm surely going to be bugged, because I ordered it with the nickel-plated movement-- and FYI the gold plated movement is from the BEST version.

Imagine the horror I got when my supposed to be ultimate Cartier Santos 100 arrived and opened the caseback to see the movement: Supposed to be movement (for reference only-- I didn't order from PureTime):

Hey Alan, is the rotor engraved or it's just a sticker?

Better sell that to me!! :b

Reported it also. Still there...

I saw in the old threads some discussion about the mineral crystal glass of PAM 253. Some even tried to do a project on it and order a sapphire crystal glass. I'm not sure if this has been asked before (I searched) so is this possible? Seeing PAM 213 has sapphire crystal and they have the same case (minus the pusher at 8, correct me if I'm wrong).

They can't do that, otherwise they'll raise prices. Hosting videos on your own host = more bandwidth, and of course, more expensive hosting

hi haveblue100, welcome to RWG! I have smaller wrist than you are, and my limit before is around 40mm with a Rolex Sub. Tried my luck to 44mm with PAMs and loving it! I guess no matter what the size it all depends on how you carry it. For Hublot Big Bang sizing compared with a PAM, see this thread and you may have an idea if it will fit you. Best of luck!

Kind of conflicting message you have there mate. Are you the same Mosh?

Believe me gents, it's not worth it
