PAM111E on Toscana Fiero PAM164 on TWB croc PAM250 on TWB croc PAM088 on TWB croc I just can't decide which one to wear tomorrow

Looks interesting. Thnx for the link!

21j means that the movement has 21 jewels. In fact there are a lot of 21j movements. The DG2813 is just one of them and is mostly used in the lower end reps as a affordable replacement for ETA 2824/2836 (as in the Yachmaster) or ETA7750 without chrono functions (as in PAM0164).

Enjoy your Holidays! HK looks great. it has been on my list for some years. Hope to go there next year. You will find Tokyo very impressive. For your own sake when you get there, tell your wife you've lost the credit cards

Yes, but you need to disable the pinion that holds the seconds hand and will stick up against the dial. I'm not sure if simply cutting off the pinion will damage the gears... A month ago there was a similar topic about this.

But be careful. They only sell watches without glass

O man, you've bumped this again! But there was only one man who proudly could have worn it on his wrist..... Bustin Out on some serious bling

Material things can be very nice if - and only if - you have your loved ones around you in good health and never stop realising what's truly the most important in life. Helping out someone in need when you can is also one of those things....

Congratulations and welcome back!

I loved reading this review. Thnx for sharing! The brown strap looks great by the way

Always great to see your awesome pics, Rolli

Great idea for a collection! Don't forget the Breitling Chrono Avenger from Blood Diamonds. And if you already have the SMP you need the PO on black rubber (Daniel Craig) too. And what about the IWC Aquaracer 'Slevin'?

FRIDAY PAM0164 on TWB

Short answer: none Long answer: All PAM reps have flaws. Some more than others. Some big flaws, some minor flaws. With all the 'superreps' around here these days the perfect PAM still doesn't exists. So if accuracy is a real issue for you I would almost advise you to stay away from PAMs. If you can live with some flaws use the search function and study as much the model you like best and see if you can live with the inaccuracies or how you can mod it to get closer to the real deal. Some general guidelines: - the historic Luminors have wrong fonts (last week Sssurfer had a great topic about this); - most contemporary Luminors have a bad cyclops and wrong date font. Recently this has been improved on the 'best version' 104, 164, the 229 and some Submersible models; - the GMT models have wrong hands; - the recessed subdials on most contemporary models are not as deep as the gen; - most handwind models suffer from a recessed cannon pinion; - most PAMs have poor lume and a too thin crown. One of the most populair reps is also the most inaccurate PAM: the 111 H-series with sandwich dial (the sausage dial E-series is more accurate). Search for the topic by PAMman for getting as close as possible to the 'perfect' PAM (also posted last week).

These kinds of stories make me really sad. Take care! PM sent....

1. 21j movement http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...;products_id=39 This one has the old cyclops and thin date font. The subdial @9 should be recessed. 'Synthetic sapphire' sounds mineral glass to me, but you should check it with Andrew. The 6 font looks a bit odd. Also the crown is a bit too thin. The case back inscription is way off. No AR coating. 2. low beat 7750 (old version) http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...;products_id=90 This one also has the old cyclops and thin date font. The subdial @9 is recessed and more correct, too bad they placed the L Swiss Made L incorrect. The glass is supposed to be sapphire. The 6 font look better to me. The crown looks too thin. The case back is still incorrect, but looks better than the 21j version caseback. The low beat 7750 is notorious if unserviced. No AR coating. 3. high beat 7750 (new version) http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=2437 This the latest release of the 104 and almost 'ultimate'. The high beat movement is more reliable, especially after servicing. The crystal is sapphire and has single AR. The subdial is recessed, altough not as much as the gen. The cyclops and date font are much improved. A real difference with the other 2 versions. The crown also looks a bit thicker. The only annoying flaw is the position of the L Swiss Made L, which is too close to the 6. The inscriptions on the case back are difficult to see on the pic, but at least they've added the serial number. Don't know if the OP number and BB number have been improved. Qualitywise I would choose the 3rd. This is the most accurate version to date. Too bad of the L Swiss Made L thingy, but I could live with that. I would only trust my own watchmaker for waterproofing.... Good luck!

WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY PAM0164 on TWB croc

I love these jeans shots. Can't we do a midweek jeans check? .

.... .... ....

Always great to see the real deal .

You are definitely right, but unfortunately all rep sandwich dials are like this. Some of Davidson are even worse.... That's why I prefer the more accurate sausage dials. But since Ti cases are getting really rare, I would say just go for it. You can always have the movement replaced afterwards if you like. Or even change the H-series dial and movement for the G-series dial and movement with correct dagger and swan neck (check Angus).

I expect my 3717 to get back from Jakub later this week. Can't hardly wait to put it on my gen Big Pilot strap that's also on its way to me.... Meanwhile I'll be drooling over yours . You'd better put that sapphire back before all gets wet, .

Two minds, one thought . My crazy sunday Senape from TC Straps ended on my Black Seal....

I did notice and tried 2 or 3 sites. McAfee didn't like any of them either, so I didn't bother to look further. Sometimes Virus software can be very protective, but I don't want to risk it. Anyway, tnks for the info. Always good to see some alternatives.

I already thought so . Congrats!!!!
