  1. I just received this beauty from Andrew

     

    http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=PN089&x=0&y=0

     

    A bit pricey at about $400 once you pay shipping, but I just fell in love with the Titanium brushed look and the GMT dial. -- Quick delivery from Andrew, can't wait to go outside and see how the dial looks in the sunlight.

     

    I really like the strap that Andrew is shipping with this watch, great grey color, nice suede leather, and super soft, its VERY comfortable, my wrist is on the small side (about 6 3/4"), and i have no discomfort with the 44mm case with this strap.

     

    I think the dial might be about a millimiter too low, the L SWISS MADE L seems to be cut-off .. - might just be my angle in the shot though.

  2. The new PAM 089 i just received has something peculiar .. 

     

    When i type or move about i can hear and feel the rotor (or what i guess is the rotor) spining inside the case (i've owned other automatic watches where this does not happen) .. 

     

    The rep i got has an asian 7750.

     

    Anyone else have experience with 7750's and should you be able to hear and feel the rotor inside the case? .. 

     

    Is this something that likely can be fixed simply by servicing the movement and tightening something down?

  3. After a few days of wearing this watch i'm beginning to realize that polished steel is not really my cup of tea .. and i may prefer brushed finishes .. 

     

    i have a PAM089 coming soon and will get a chance to compare the brushed titanium finish to this one .. 

     

    Depending on how i feel about the polished steel, vs brushed titanium, i may end up selling this piece to get a PAM 177 .. 

  4. The rep strap that came with my PAM 111n from Trusty is surprisingly good looking, I have a friend with a gen PAM (not sure which model) but i'm looking forwarqd to comparing straps, buckles and more if they are closely related models.

     

    The strapis a bit stiff but thats not so bad ..  

     

    There have been huge improvements in the last 5 years in the rep space .. so many reps that are now very close to the gen .. prices are higher .. but luckily i make more money now .. 

  5. I'm looking at a QC image of my watch and it looks like a decent specimen

     

    Rate of 0 s/d

    BE of 0

     

    The amplitude seems a little high at 321 .. would that concern anyone .. could the amplitude be off because the lift angle was set to 52 for an Asian Valjoux 7750 ? 

     

    Just looking to get some opinions on whether an amplitude of over 310 is something worth worrying about, specially given that the BE and rate look really good.
