Silix 027 WITHOUT a hint of PR or date looks good at around $80. http://www.watchsilix.com/product.asp?id=1088 I am looking at the other two $80 oferings WITH PR (working?) Silix 056 and 057. The one with sub seconds at 9 o'clock looks ok. I don't like to look at a twitchy second's hand, I can't imagine what a 21K BPH second hand looks with that sized dial on the one with center seconds. It also looks too busy and I would hazard to guess has more things to get right. sssurfer (without a hint of gheyness) may I ask which Silix 027 are you looking at? ...and to assert an air of manliness (in my best Rocky Balboa voice) 'Hey Vickeee whats UP! ' Unless Vbarret happens to be a man with very feminine hands, in which case, please disregard. BTW, pug, ub7 when I said Low Priced I meant LOWWWW, what would be your choice in sub $100 PAMs?

Hey sssurfer, The 'is that your hand?' line was supposed to be THE approach line... And, as far as the last 4 digits, Hey I don't have a PAM rep yet, maybe I should change my screen name to NotAGaySolder... Is THAT a Rep? Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Hey guys stop looking at me funny !-) It's not like I asked, What is The best Panerai !!! (Thanks for the responses, sssurfer you have 2228 posts, those are the last 4 digits of my cell phone.) Thanks to you guys who posted your real life mini reviews :thumbup: I WILL go back to read those August posts. Seems I always make it just a little too late for this kind of offers! 'Someone' *cough*u know who u r *cough* should write a Low Priced PAM Guide. Keep the comments going...pleeeeease. vbarret, see that was not that hard your comments are certainly welcomed (BTW is that your hand in yor avatar?, whats the watch?).

Ok, Silix seems to have ONE of the two lowest priced reps . I can't be the only cheapskate PAM rep stalking forumite. I bet someone must have bought one, don't be shy admit it. Please post your pics, comments, mini review or pride/displeasure with your low priced PAM here. Pretty please with sugar on top

I certainly feel those $300-$700 PAM reps are a much WORSE VALUE than Gen Pams. The Pam rep is to my engineering student eye, a much less complex piece than say, a Noobmariner with it's movable bezel with inset and multi link bracelet with screws. Still a $110 Noob Sub is considered close to State of the Art while I feel $100 Pam reps are not even worth talking about for some forumites. It's true that the least expensive rep is the one where the total cosr is lower. In my case I'm just a fan of the look and CAN live without 1 to 1 'L Swiss' markings. What I DO WANT, and fellow forumites in-hand experience could help me with, is quality of construction, fit and finish. Or as I read in one of the pinned reviews 'Judge it as a Watch' not as a Rep. I know lume will be next to non-existant with unmodded Pams. I know strap MAY suck sour frogs behind. I know there may be no AR. I WANT the movement to be a reliable/inexpensive Asian with Incabloc. I WANT to be able to SLOWLY upgrade as a hobbie LATER on that low priced piece. I WANT a crown guard lever that fits snugly. IN SHORT I want PAM rep thats a Good WATCH First, for EDC. BTW, I've been in the 'rep'; boards since 2004. Just came back from a 'short' vacation. Gracias for your help...

We may be talking about two different things here then. The much praised trevor PAM was $75 SHIPPED. That was a big part of the appeal to the deal...

Mr. Smith, That's the point. There are a lot of sub $100 options, with no reference guide to such low priced reps. Sometimes PAM rep buyers seem to push aside the lower cost reps... BTW, THAT HAS TO BE THE BEST AVATAR EVER. Pirate, I thought the $75 Trevor's were long gone???

What Are the 2 Least Expensive PAM Reps? So, The title says it all. I know there are price lists, but there are also fora-special sales and limited time posted special deals that one man may miss. (For example I missed the generally praised $75 shipped 'Trevor' PAM on a sister site.) Please point me toward the LOWEST PRICED PAM reps. And of course, please nitpick on faults and/or general quality of construction of those vs. the $400 PAM reps. Oh, BTW Great forum!!! BUDGET CLIFF NOTES. FOR THE CHEAP AND LAZY... *Paul/Wo Mart's $99 shipped PAM, has bee found to look like a $99 PAM. *Silix 027 with working Power Reserve is looking good at $96 shipped. Remember YMMV.
