  1. reps of this are very easy to spot mostly due to the "bulb" on the second hand being the wrong distance from the center. There are several other tells on this watch, which is why I ended up not buying it - even through it was the most attractive (at first glance) pam.
  2. i like it. just emailed king for price.
  3. same thing happened to me for my pam 90 from another dealer. someone else i talked to also had the same issue, and his replacement 90 did the same...
  4. I found it online at http://www.tristatecamera.com/lookat.php?r...&sku=OLYEVE300K for $599. Not nearly as good a deal, but not as bad as paying $800.
  5. hmmm, compusa website says the old price http://www.compusa.com/products/product_in...9431&pfp=SEARCH
  6. Oh. good. Now I don't feel so bad The watch is really nice, only thing I'd bother changing is the glass - the mag over the date is weak.
  7. Mine didn't come with a bezel protector or anything fancy like I see in your photos. Luck of the draw I guess.
  8. hmmm, I decided over a year ago to get the sidekick2. No phone plan, pay as I go. That means they charge me $1 per day. In return I get unlimited internet access (aim, yahoo im, 3 pop3 accounts, web access, ssh2, etc). I can use it as a phone, that costs $0.10 a minute though. I wasn't able to price anything even close to this.
  9. I know you didn't say this but... DSL typically (In the united states) has lower available bandwidth but better latency. OTOH Cable can get slow if everyone in your neighborhood is downloading porn. In EU countries DSL can get to much higher speeds than available here I've got 30 mbps download, 5 mbps upload speed with FIOS (Verizon), runs me less than $100 a month. Rumor is that fios will be available by the end of the year with 100mbps to the home at a low cost. Unfortunately it costs verizon so much money to install all the fiber, and a lot of time putting it in the ground, they're only able to do <2 mill homes per year.
  10. Just showed it to a friend, his first words were:
  11. heh. I knew it was too easy.
  12. Guess the car Might be too easy.
  13. yes. I don't know if it would be cool to have that way or not, as I haven't opened my 63 yet. Just wanted to know if it's an option and what the crystal casebacks cost.
  14. My 063 has the nice high end eta movement in it. Was wondering if it's possible to get a clear caseback for the watch? I just like seeing the movement.
  15. i bought a house in tampa about 14 months ago. It's value has gone up from $230,000 to $330,000 in that time period. Paid cash, so there's no mortgage
  16. hmmm. I just paid $575 for the 063 and haven't even gotten it yet

    I like my rotary far more than anything bwm makes. But if you want fuel economy, don't even look at the photos.
  18. I had the exact same feeling as you - I almost didn't buy the 063 because I thought the dial looked too busy and cramped. But in person it is well laid out and looks very sharp.
  19. yeah, it took me a few trys before it popped off. There is a metal wire that goes on the inside of the bezel that does the "clicking" and forces the bezel to turn in only one direction. It's easy to put back on once you're done.
  20. I was looking at the 063 with a magnifying glass and the bezel looks like it's part of the watch casing. I can't even feel an edge with my fingernail.
  21. all you have to do is pop the bezel off (Use a knife or some other sharp object that can fit under the bezel). Just be careful not to scratch the rest of the watch when you pull it off. Once it pops off, remove the bezel insert. It's got double sided tape or something holding it on. So you can just slowly peal it off. I superglued my bezel back on after turning it. Then snap the bezel back on. Entire process shouldn't take more than 2 - 6 minutes.
  22. awesome - so it's similar to my SMP. Thanks FP
  23. Just got a new Pam 063, the watch is amazing. The problem is that the bezel (metal area around the glass) has a scuff mark on it. A replacement bezel is being sent but I don't see how it would be replaced. Does the bezel unscrew? The Dealer recommended taking it to a watch smith.
  24. btw, great choice. The 063 is going to be my first high end pam.
